We’ve covered the issue of players transfers many, many times within these pages.

In basketball, the most promiscuous transfer sport — just over 20% of all NCAA players leave their original program — Alabama has been a beneficiary (Tevin Mack, Corban Collins), but more often than not has been on the receiving end of a business decision (Braxton Key most recently, but see also Trevor Lacey and Justin Coleman, for instance.)

In football, where Alabama stacks blue chips along the two-deep like a drunk sailor in Tunica with pocket aces, the Tide has more often than not lost talented players to other programs.
