I didn’t realize this:

“Before going to LSU, Ricks was a five-star cornerback, ranked as the No. 14 player in the 2020 class. He played his senior season at IMG Academy, but he's from California.

Ricks played with Alabama quarterback Bryce Young at Mater Dei for a year before then. “

So, Ricks’ transfer makes a little more sense. It wasn’t just a blatant transfer to a rival for spite. It was at least partially due to knowing someone on the team, and in fact Bryce called him “family” in a tweet.

The SEC should have never allowed immediate eligibility to inter-conference transfers unless they were grad students. End of story

And Eli Ricks is a prime example of this.

He quit on his high school too. Guy is a good player but has zero loyalty and fakes injuries the minute things get tough. I’m sure he’ll have a good year at Bama if Saban doesn’t yell at him too hard. NFL might chew him up.

ETA:

SEC not blocking intra-conference transfers without sitting out is lunacy.

California to florida to louisiana to alabama in a small window of time. The Ricks are all about that stability though...

The rules are the rules. Saban uses them to his advantage. You can’t blame him for that. There were plenty of good reasons to leave LSU (program in disarray, new coaching staff, provincial culture for a California kid) without the fact that Ricks and Bryce Young were HS teammates in Cali, which assured Rich’s that he would fit in. The kid has to look out for his own interests. Bama has had many high profile transfers including Tua’s little brother to Maryland. Kids have to do what’s best for them, and hopefully the fans wish them well and avoid being vicious.

Ricks just wants a championship.

Other on was promising these kids championships. When championships were out of reach they quit on the team.

Notice Kelly promised they “would win a lot of football games”

they play on different sides of the balll....one has nothing to do with the other....if Ricks was a receiver then that may make a hair more sense but not this....its a bitch move by ricks point blank
