Leaving like wood rats in a barn fire!! Blake Barnett, Cooper Bateman, and now David Cornwell.... I know bama is great and all that and will probably win another national championship, but I love to imagine Saban is sweating all these transfers a little bit.... specially if Hurts was to go down.

Side note: I hope we land Kiffin, Briles, or Lincoln Riley, come on Orgeron make it happen

I don't blame them. Barring some type of injury, Hurts will probably be starting for 3 more years.

Barnett is the only one in that group worth going after.

I guess he brainwashes those kids into thinking they will all play.

I hope all 7 of their linebacker commits see the QBs leaving and realize the situation is the same at linebacker. Why commit there now only to leave in two years when folks who are either there now or coming in after you pass you on the depth chart? LSU needs you now!

they were all ranked at or near the top of the QB class for the years they came out. All ranked higher than anyone we have on the team at QB or coming in in this class at QB. Wouldn't mind LSU getting one of them.

They were all recruited when Saban thought he could still win with a pro-style offense. Unfortunately all these guys are coming from offenses in high school that are coach-driven systems. They can't be developed because they have no foundation. It's a sad day indeed.

No question...they will only see late 4th Quarter mop up work. It is Hurts' team for the next 3 years.

Thank you and ... Roll Tide, my brother.

Nope. Got the numero-uno rated dual-threat QB entering the program next year.

The rich get richer; Alabama reloads and rolls.

It's a golden time to be a Tide fan.

If Kiffin is leaving, regardless if he comes to BR, would that not tell them they should leave

Yes you're atop the college football world on your pedestal. We all know.

Long way to fall though, and you will fall.

It reminds me of the Bear Bryant days where he would recruit great players just to keep them away from LSU and Auburn. He never intended to play them.

Saban is doing this with QB and LB players.
