No thanks on Burton. They're fine letting him walk for a reason. 

Regarding Buchner, while he may know Rees' offense, that isn't saying a whole lot. It honestly looks like Nick Saban thinks he can just will shit to happen in college football because he's had his way with the sport for more than a decade. Go back to 3 yards and a cloud of dust and win titles? Sure, sure. Whine about NIL and the portal and make them go away by publicly pleading for the old days? You betcha! Get to add Vandy to your list of permanent rivals? Of course, of course. 

Everyone is giving him the benefit of the doubt, too. I get it, but let's see how this bold strategy plays out.

[irishtexan 11712]

What's up with Ty Simpson? former 5-star who had a chance to redshirt and learn. Just hasn't put it together? Figured they'd roll with him and let him take some freshman lumps. But does he just suck too? Weird for Saban to whiff on highly-rated QBs two years in a row.

He hasn't impressed anyone since arriving. He threw 3 picks in the spring game. Seems like he's your basic Garrett Gilbert.

[Newy25 7916]

19 players in the portal for Colorado. I think that makes 44 players leaving this offseason now in total. It might have been easier for Deion to just start an expansion team.

[Hornlover 8945]

Alabama has a few other highly rated QB recruits that they might go after.

Buchner is the obvious one, but maybe Luke Doty (behind Rattler at USCe), Preston Stone (SMU), DJ Uiagalelei (If they could get him a transfer waiver), Devin Brown ( behind McCord at OhioSt.).

That can't be, i've been told on this very board (football board) that Ewers is your basic Garrett Gilbert.

As of this article which was yesterday, they had 20 scholarship players. Looks like it's now 19. 

 

https://theathletic.com/4447590/2023/04/24/deion-sanders-colorado-footall-transfer-portal/

These departures and roster cuts have wiped out several years of recruiting classes for the Buffaloes. Colorado’s previous staff brought in 32 new scholarship players for 2022. Only seven of them are left. Eighteen of the 23 freshmen are now in the portal. The program is down to four scholarship players still on the team from the 2021 class, four from 2020 and another four from 2019.

What they’re left with are 10 of the 41 players who started games last season. Among the players exiting via the portal, 21 had starting experience. Defensive lineman Jalen Sami and offensive lineman Jake Wiley are the only returning players who have logged more than 10 career starts for the program.

No one who is behind Spencer Rattler can be worth a shit.
Preston Stone has never been worth a shit. 
DJ a;sdlkfna;h;aowubefa;oerni has never even remotely been close to worth a shit. 
Maybe you take a flyer on an Ohio State backup?

These don't seem like good options at all.

Devin Brown would be the guy I would be after out of that bunch.

Isn't he in the middle of a competition to be QB1 at Ohio State with Kyle McCord? From the very limited research I've done it seems McCord has the edge. But Ryan Day has to at least maintain the appearance of an open competition if only to keep Brown from transferring this year. Admittedly I don't follow them too closely so McCord may be the presumptive starter. Perhaps one of our resident buckfucks can elaborate?

Yeah but that’s not for all time. Georgia has shared a conference with them forever. We are going to be the one to make them eat their own shit (really NIL and portal taking away their advantage at being one of 10 flagrant cheating schools around).

Brown was the guy we were after late in Sark's first cycle who ultimately chose tOSU right before we got Quinn. He has had some pretty positive sentiment last year from what I understand. Who knows what that really means, but I would think he easily offers better upside than Buchner.

[Newy25 7916]

21 players now in  the portal since the spring game for Colorado including a player that he brought with him. This cannot be by design now.

That makes a lot of sense, since everyone’s name image and likeness is worth about the same.

These don't seem like good options, agreed. But unless they find a way to pry away a starter from a P5 school, this is about the best I could come up with. 

We know they struck out on Maalik. Who else might be out there? AJ Duffy (FSU backup)? Ty Thompson (Oregon backup)?

[billfromlaketravis 11823]

I hope Thompson realizes track is his best sport, and he hangs it up in football. His crazy ass mother is better suited for an individual sport. 
 

If he doesn’t, oh well. Riley is gone, so I doubt he’ll hang a long touchdown down on us in the Cotton Bowl. 
 

When he skipped spring ball to focus on track, I began to get the quitter vibes. A true competitor would participate in both sports.

Grayson McCall, Sam Hartman, Devin Leary, Brennan Armstrong and Spencer Sanders were all there for the taking and Saban decided to channel his inner Charlie Strong and just hope by some miracle the QB situation would fix itself magically. That would not even have required tampering. Those guys were looking to leave. It just required effort on his part. Really bizarre how he handled this.

Did Hartman enroll at Notre Dame before Rees left? I assume that he did. He announced his transfer to ND in the first week of January. Rees left for Bama in early February.

Saban mismanaged this. He could have easily obtained both Rees and Hartman. I assume he was big game hunting Drake Maye and he swung and missed. 
 

He should reach out to McCall. He pulled his name out of the portal in January. 
 

If they roll with Milroe against Texas, we should be at worst a 3 point dog.

Isn't McCall's under-the-table issue that he pretty much stopped even pretending to play school and it came back to bite him?
