But the Tide are hardly the only SEC team benefiting from totally-not-free-agency. Not to kick a man when he’s down, but if Baker couldn’t get on the field last year, then he simply was never going to mature as a player enough to do so.Īlabama picked up two (perhaps three, with Eli Ricks) starter-ready players by way of transfer both Jahmyr Gibbs and Jermaine Burton could be legitimate stars. The social media maven took his Twitter-fingers to the talent-hungry UCF Knight. One of the players who just never panned out, WR Javon Baker, finally landed at another major program after trasnferring out of Alabama and then blowing his shot at Kentucky. But overall, his game seems more suited for hybrid run-stuffing rather than as a pure edge. He’s listed as a OLB, but I would almost be willing to bet he eventually moves to WDE - he’s very good at holding the point of attack, and does have some decent skills rushing the passer. Lockhart has great size for a prospect with two more years of growth ahead of him: 6’3”, 210. (Look, in Mississippi, Tuscaloosa would be both the second-largest city and the second largest MSA).

The Ole Miss commit may move to the bright lights, big city of Tuscaloosa. The Tide doesn’t have much luck prying kids out of the Magnolia State (nor does anyone else, for that matter) they tend to stay local. 27 LB Jordan Lockhart, visited the Tide yesterday, and picked up an offer. One of those typically undervalued four-star Mississippi prospects, No. So, we’ll play straight man for a change. Sadly, there’s not even much to spit hot takes about either :( There’s just not much going on folks that’s why people go on vacation during the Summer, I suppose - just not enough ‘Bama.
