The recent Transfer Portal news hasn't been kind to Kalen DeBoer and Alabama.
Along with losing key players such as Isaiah Horton, Qua Russaw, James Smith, Keon Keeley, and Wilkin Formby, among others, it has been a slow start for adding the pieces the Crimson Tide needs in order to jump back into serious National Championship contention.
Alabama recently missed out on top offensive line target Jacarrius Peak, who signed with South Carolina on a visit before he could make it to Tuscaloosa.
The same thing happened with Tennessee transfer Jordan Ross, who was scheduled to make a trip to Alabama this weekend.
