Godspeed Jalen.  We wouldn't be SEC Champs without you.

I hope he goes to a well coached team where he can play a lot.  Such a team may not have the greatest talent but could be a place where can shine.

I agree, McB. I will certainly miss him but I hope he goes somewhere where he can drive up his NFL stock.

I just hope he chooses wisely, and doesn't pick a school where he'd be dead to me.

This.  He CANNOT  go to another SEC school...

He will probably wind up at Texas. RTR!

Well, he can go to Kentucky, or Vandy, or Missouri -- Bama won't play those teams next year.  (Bama plays TN and SC in the regular season.)

He won't go to GA -- they're set on QBs.

I think Jalen's best fit in the SEC is at Florida -- Mullins runs the kind of RPO system where Jalen would thrive.  (I'd rather see him at Florida than Oklahoma.)

But I doubt Jalen remains in the SEC.  For one season, maybe he goes closer to home and plays for a Texas school in the Big12.  Or else he goes all West Coast and joins the PAC12.  Jalen could look like a superstar playing the defenses in these conferences.

If you're going to play with 2 guesses, then it's either OU or Arizona.   :-X

To narrow it down, my Texas schools would be TCU or Houston -- since ricky already has TCU, I'll take Houston.  And if you're going PAC12, Arizona is only a possibility if Tate transfers.  I think UCLA is more likely with Chip Kelly.  (Another possibility is Jalen follows Locksley to Maryland, but I think it unlikely.)

Houston or UCLA

Jalen is trying to see the country in a week.  He's visiting Maryland, Miami and Oklahoma so far.

I understand the feeling. I had jobs in which I changed locations for a promotion. The minute you find out you are transferring out, it's almost impossible to keep your focus on your current assignment. Your mind is on moving, finding another home, calling the new location to talk to your new boss, etc. I am sure the coaches tried but their focus was split. Been there, done that.

Exactly.  It takes a special coach with laser focus, someone like Kirby, to maintain their edge while working at a job they're leaving. 

Saban of course is put in a Catch 22 -- go with the coach you've had all season or throw some new guy into the mix.  Neither choice is ideal.

I think this is the real answer and for CNS to have won all the NCG's he has with so many different coaches it is unreal. RTR!
