This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

That number doesn't look right. by StetsonDan
That number must include walk-ons and/or players who enter the portal but don't transfer because Bama has not had nearly that many scholarship players transfer.
Based on a five minute search of 247's tracking of the portal, Alabama has had 22 scholarship players transfer since 2019 (their database seems incomplete for '18).
2021: 6
2020: 9
2019: 7
For reference, ND has had 22 since 2019
2921: 12
2020: 4
2019: 6
While Saban does engage in roster management (this doesn't include greyshirting or players stashed at junior colleges), Kelly does the same thing.
