Title: Bama is basically going into their bowl game with 1 scholarship QB Post by: Volznut on December 10, 2016, 04:25:33 EST Bateman, Barnett, and Cornwell transferring.
Title: Re: Bama is basically going into their bowl game with 1 scholarship QB Post by: BanditVol on December 10, 2016, 05:26:46 EST Yes, I read that several days ago.
Here is my take...all these guys were highly rated. I believe Barnett was the no. 1 pro style QB of 2015, Cornwell was the no. 4 rated pro style of 2014 and Bateman was the number 3 QB of 2013. Not sure what recruiting services those ratings are from, and of course they can vary....but they are all certainly talented passers. So....it's not that unusual for a talented backup QB to transfer, but three in one season is very unusual. If you are that talented, and you have had to sit and watch Jalen Hurts pretend to throw the ball, maybe you are even more butt hurt than a typical backup QB. How could any one of these guys, all of whom probably have large egos, possibly sit and not think "they're letting that guy in before me?". LMAO! I would transfer too.... :dielaughing: There is little wonder that Satan was upset earlier this year when Barnett announced his transfer .... in September....which is also unusual. It also makes you wonder if hiring Kiffin isn't finally biting Satan in the arse a bit. Because it looks to me like Hurts is much more popular in the locker room, suggesting ole Lame has lost control of his players to an extent. Yeah, I know, Satan can keep both him and them in line, but...see above about how upset he was that Barnett transferred. I think the Hurts thing kind of crept up on Satan. And yes, I know...it's not really "Hurt-ing" them this season, is it? Well, not yet. :biggrin: We all know how down the rest of the SEC is, and USC senior is playing much better now than when they faced bammer early in the season. Which is to say, bammer has rarely been behind this year, and has likely faced their easiest schedule in years, maybe the easiest of the Satan era. Let's see what happens if they get behind in the playoffs. Hurts is NOT the guy you want in that situation. :naughty: Title: Re: Bama is basically going into their bowl game with 1 scholarship QB Post by: BGHarper on December 10, 2016, 06:59:34 EST They're both staying through the playoffs.
BG . Title: Re: Bama is basically going into their bowl game with 1 scholarship QB Post by: Tnphil on December 10, 2016, 09:02:20 EST Yep...Saban said the other day they would be with the team until their season is finished. Of course if school starts where they are transferring before the NC game if they make it I wonder how that effects things?
