Quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Cooper Bateman were working with the receivers while David Cornwell was throwing to the tight ends. Blake Barnett was present.

That last sentence speaks volumes. Saban talks about using camp to figure out which guys they are going to work with, since they can't afford to burn valuable game prep time on guys who aren't going to contribute to this year's team. Unless there is an illness or injury that we don't know about, it looks like that decision has been made at the QB spot. It's the Cooper and Jalen show until further notice.

At this point in time, it is not surprising to see Barnett at the bottom of the list. He has a long way to go with his game but never say never.

Hate to see this.  He arrived so enthusiastic and ready for "early playing time".  Highly rated QB who wanted to play at Alabama.  Hope it works out eventually.

He'll probably transfer.

Think we were all trying to avoid saying that.   :-[

Yeah, don't see him sticking around if Bateman and Hurts are 1A and 1B. I hate it for him. He's been very enthusiastic about Bama since he committed. But if Hurts is as good as everyone is saying he is, he's gotta be the guy.

It really would be a shame for him to transfer after all he has done in helping Bama recruit.

Well when he got sick the one time it may have taken more out him than he wants to think. As long as he is healthy he is still Alabama family. RTR!

This is why bothers me:

After 21 practices, there was a noticeable change along what appears to be the first-team offensive line. Bradley Bozeman lined up at center, while Ross Pierschbacher moved over to right guard. Cam Robinson was at left tackle, Lester Cotton was at left guard and Jonah Williams was at right tackle -- just like we have seen the last 21 practice sessions.

This is interesting. Bozeman was the backup center in the 2014 season, but has been seen at guard exclusively during the previous media viewing periods. While we don't know what went on behind closed doors, this seems to be an odd change to make after camp. I'm sure Saban will be asked about it in Monday's press conference.



That's an understatement. Who has been at center? Did he get hurt in practice?
