Crimson Red Sports

Sept 22:  BRAYLEN INGRAHAM (DL) entered the transfer portal

Oct 31:  Jack Martin (punter) entered the transfer portal.

Nov 22: Trey Sanders (RB)entered the transfer portal.

Nov 23: Khyree Jackson (DB) entered the portal.

Nov 28: Damieon George (OL) entered transfer portal.

Nov 30: Christian Leary (WR) entered the transfer portal.

Nov 30: Tanner Bowler (OL) entered the portal.

Nov 30: Traeshon Holden (WR) entered the transfer portal.

Dec 1: Khyree Jackson (DB) removed his name from transfer portal (He shouldn't have entered the portal; Undergraduate transfers can’t be in the portal until Monday. Jackson said so himself.  Expect him to re-enter portal on Monday Dec 5th.)

CURRENT WIDE RECEIVERS:
   
    Jermaine Burton JR - ? He came on strong in the last few games, but he could use another year of seasoning. However, it is very possible he could test the NFL waters.
    Traeshon Holden JR - TRANSFER PORTAL: He had 6 touchdowns but all in blowout games. He often disappeared in the big games. Is it time for him to move on to another team or might he try for the NFL?
    Ja’Corey Brooks SO - STAYING: Potential to be the next big ace receiver at Alabama if he can stay consistent.
    Isaiah Bond FR - STAYING: Getting better every week.
    Kendrick Law FR - STAYING: Improving, had all of his receptions in November games.
    Kobe Prentice FR - STAYING: A surprise starter early in the season, led all Tide freshmen in receptions and yards.
    JoJo Earle SO - STAYING: He needs a full year to show what he can do.
    Shazz Preston FR - STAYING
    Emmanuel Henderson FR - STAYING
    Aaron Anderson FR - STAYING: An injury kept him out all year. Bama could have used a guy like him in the slot this year.
    Tyler Harrell R-SR - ? He previously used his redshirt at Louisville and is a fifth year player. He has been injured most of this past year and did not play until October 22. Could Saban bring him back for a bonus year? If he is healthy and still has that breakaway speed, it could benefit both parties.
    Christian Leary SO - TRANSFER PORTAL: Lost in the shuffle.
    Thaiu Jones-Bell JR - TRANSFER? Passed up by younger players.

The transfer portal is madness. Saban will pick up players from the portal again and replace those leaving. Still got the number 1 recruiting class coming in also. Contrary to all the naysayers, Finebaum included, the dynasty is not over. Just got to coach 'em up.

I agree with all this and also most times when we didn't make the playoffs the next year we came back and the play or even won a NC.
I do think we need the old CNS back. RTR!

I've heard a rumor that Ty Simpson had a meeting today to discuss transferring.   That would be less than ideal.

That is not good news if it is true. 

Starting OL JC is entering the transfer portal.

25 game starter.  Something is starting to smell in Tuscaloosa, and it's not Dreamland's BBQ pit. 

December 4: Javion Cohen (OL) entered the transfer portal.

https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2022/12/alabama-starting-offensive-lineman-to-enter-transfer-portal.html

In July, Cohen shared a message from a rehabilitation facility in Massachusetts, saying he had spent a month receiving treatment for his mental health. He wrote on Instagram at the time, “the pressure we feel as athletes is unsurmountable and can be too much at times.”

Well this smells like there is a cancer in the team. CNS has gotten softer it seems. Like hscoach and I was talking the other day on here what has happen to our 4th QTR. program? The NIL and Transfer Portal has ended the love of college football as we have known it. RTR!

DJ Uiagalelei is available in the portal. 

I don't think we need him. He wasn't good at Clemson. RTR!

At this point, I think there are 9 in the portal.

Up to 10, JoJo Earle has entered.

Add Brockermeyer to the list

I just wonder what happened to this guy. He was much ballyhooed when he committed to Bama. Not sure he's ever even seen the field.

How about this?.......

Oh please, please!!!  :pray:

It's Charles Kelly from what I saw.

Over 900 nationwide.  Insane.

Total madness. My guess is Saban will pick up at least as many as we lost.

Here's a story about Jo Jo and Brockermeyer.

Something going on in Tuskaloosa.

 >:( >:( :o :o what in the world is going on at Alabama? I guess the only way the football world had a chance to stop CNS was with NIL and Transfer Portal. RTR!

Coach Kelly has accepted the offer from Deon to become the DC at Colorado.

Thanks for the update. 

Background: Coach Charles Kelly served the Crimson Tide as Associate Defensive Coordinator (and he coached safeties).  He will be Defensive Coordinator for the Colorado Buffaloes.

Well again if they don't bleed Crimson we don't need them. Our manly attitude of making the other player quit has gone away. We need it back.  RTR!

WR Holden has decided to transfer to Oregon.

"Alabama hosts, offers Maryland tight end in transfer portal"

https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2022/12/alabama-hosts-offers-maryland-tight-end-in-transfer-portal.html

Looks like a fine player.  Tall and speedy.

I do hope we get the guy from Maryland. RTR!

Dec 12, 2022:  Alabama freshman WR Aaron Anderson has entered the portal.

https://www.tuscaloosanews.com/story/sports/college/football/2022/12/13/aaron-anderson-transfer-portal-alabama-football-receiver-2022-nick-saban/69722834007/

Well we should have enough scholly's to get everybody we want. RTR!

It should not go unnoticed how Saban graduates players.  Not exactly a transfer portal post but Will Anderson (communications) and Bryce Young (psychology) both graduated this week with GPAs over 3.0.  Yes, Trey Sanders is in the portal but he graduated this week.  I haven't gone through the entire roster and compared it with the list of graduates but there aren't many schools out there, if any, with won-loss records like Alabama's and scholastic records like ours.  Really proud of Coach Saban's emphasis on prepping his guys for life after football.

While I'm thinking about it, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all CRS members and their loved ones!

Other players who reportedly found schools:

JoJo Earle to TCU (unofficial)

Christian Leary to UCF  (committed)

Tommy Brockermeyer to TCU (unofficial)

Javion Cohen to Miami (unofficial)

Well if they don't bleed Crimson then they need to be somewhere else. RTR!

Smoke Bouie becomes the latest Texas A&M player to enter the portal.  They now have 25 players in the portal.
 :o

That NIL money that was promised them prolly didn't come through since the whole team sucked.

More likely just greed ($$$) and disgust in the system (coaching).

Well if there is money in the eyes we probably wouldn't need him. RTR!

Oh, is there one who doesn't want money??  Any one at all??  Any? 

Asking for a friend.

I saw where one of the kids going to tosu said he was going to tosu whether there was NIL or not. He said he didn't need the money to go his school of choice. I will have to find it aga to post it. RTR!

 :lol:  None of them "NEEDS THE MONEY".  They've got a full ride with expenses paid.  GREED

Agreed with you Chechem. Greed has gotten college football to the brink of what we use to know it. RTR!

Wed 9:53 a.m.: Former Alabama QB to Clemson: Paul Tyson transferred to Arizona State in January and now Bear Bryant’s great-grandson is headed to Clemson.

Looks like Dabo has given in and decided to play with the portal.

Since we need wide receivers. I saw a former TOP wr recruit entered the portal from Texas. Maybe CNS can get him to come to Bama.

 :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil:

 :lol3: :lol3: :lol3: :lol3: :lol3: :lol3:

Who was this great person? RTR!

Agiye Hall   :lol:

 :lol3: :lol3: :lol3: :lol3: I don't think he makes it. RTR!

Dippre says he'll choose between Bama and Ohio State on Tuesday:

https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2022/12/transfer-tight-end-to-make-decision-between-alabama-ohio-state.html

 :popcorn2:

We need him for experience. RTR!

Wow, Florida has 24 players in the portal.   :o

https://247sports.com/college/toledo/Season/2023-Football/TransferPortal/?institutionkey=24099

Wow that is a lot of scholarships opened up. RTR!

TE CJ Dippre announces transfer to BAMA!!!

I hope this does for us what the TE does for Georgia. RTR!

WOOOT!!!!!!!  #+ #+ #+

I had heard that Will Reichard was going to return, but now he is apparently entering the NFL draft.  :(

https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/alabama-football/will-reichard-makes-decision-on-future-plans-ahead-of-sugar-bowl/

Well the new man we have coming is suppose to be pretty good I understand. RTR!

It continues!  Another 5* from A&M bails: Anthony Lucas (DL)

Also, several 4* from LSU, Tenn, Illinois, Miss State, etc.

After a victory in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, Alabama football had a long snapper to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Gabe Pugh, a walk-on from Tuscaloosa, Ala., opened 2023 on Sunday by going into the portal.

Well he must be the 2nd string snapper or 3rd team. RTR!

He was a walk-on player, so no scholly.  So we lose a free player and gain nothing.   :(

One of the top A&M players, a five-star CB, transfers to Georgia.   >:(

https://247sports.com/college/toledo/Season/2023-Football/TransferPortal/?institutionkey=24029

Well transfering don't mean much if he leaves because of playing time. RTR!

The Boogs are ranked 4th in PORTAL TRANSFERS, meaning they have gotten the 4th best batch of disgruntled players.   :lol2:

https://247sports.com/college/toledo/Season/2023-Football/TransferPortalTop/?institutionkey=24098&status=committed

Yes sir but can Freeze do anything with them? RTR!

Alabama wide receiver Tyler Harrell entered the NCAA transfer portal on Saturday, he announced on Twitter.

(https://nyunews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/ezgif-4-15d2268ee3.gif)

:lol: :lol:

I wonder what this is all about? He was said to be a possible starter with speed this year. RTR!

He was injured and never fully recovered.

Well I hope he heals well. RTR!

"Alabama lands Georgia LB transfer Trezmen Marshall"

I wonder if he will be a starter or back up? RTR!

That's a LB position where we need both.
