Alabama football head coach Nick Saban preaches staying locked in to the here and now, a macro definition of his famed “Process.” As he’s stated on numerous occasions, “play each play like it has a history and a life of its own.”
Don’t get caught up in the scoreboard. Don’t think about the next play, the next team, the next NFL Draft. And we especially don’t want to prognosticate (hypotheticals are major thorns in the Old Man’s side) about the next season.
However, I’m a glutton for punishment and while the following roster predictions could be rendered moot by January, if my current thoughts about who may leave early along with graduate attrition come to pass, 2020 could be Nick Saban’s first true rebuilding year in Tuscaloosa since 2007.
