Tua Tagovailoa

I know there was a thread on here the other day about the perception of Notre Dame's QBs utilizing the graduate transfer rule. In the case of Dayne Cris, Andrew Hendrix, Everett Golson and Malik Zaire, all three played out their scholarship at Notre Dame. They were in the program for the 4 years they signed up for (Golson's was obviously a little different in the middle), but they put the time and work into the 4-year commitment. All four could have possibly returned for a 5th year at Notre Dame, but chose to change the environment by going to a different school. That is not the same as what is happening in Tuscaloosa right now. Blake Barnett made headlines as he transferred mid-season to take courses at JUCO in California before committing to Arizona State earlier this week. Cooper Bateman announced his transfer from the Alabama on Sunday: http://www.si.com/college-football/2016/12/04/alabama-cooper-bateman-transfer-playoff-status?xid=socialflow_twitter_siAnd then on Wednesday, David Cornwell announced his transfer from the program. https://twitter.com/DavidCornwell5/status/806593903885488128That could leave true freshman and starting QB Jalen Hurts as the only scholarship QB on the roster. The Tide have 2017 four-star Tua Tagovailoa committed, but it's been pretty evident he has been looking around. But the biggest obstacle could be the Tide's playoff run. It sounds like Bateman, who has his degree, won't be around and all reports state it's unclear whether Cornwell will stick around for the Playoffs.
