Rumors are flying around that LSU DE (and Mobile native) Sidell Corley is looking to transfer to Alabama. NOLA.com reports that Corley (along with two academic casualties) are no longer with the team, meaning Corley has either given up football altogether or is headed elsewhere. Sadly, the murder of his mother by her estranged husband could be the impetus for this decision as "being closer to family" is one of the several reasons floating around for his decision to leave the LSU program.
UPDATE: Corley is indeed transfering back to (the state of) Alabama to be closer to family. From the Press-Register (emphasis mine):
Former McGill-Toolen standout Sidell Corley was released from LSU's football program Wednesday and will now look into an immediate transfer to Alabama or Auburn, his father told the Press-Register.
Corley Sr. said his son plans to apply for a hardship waiver from the NCAA to allow him to play this year, and would be willing to pay his own way if it would help him catch on with a program.
"We're going to try to get in somebody's camp here in the next couple days," Corley Sr. said.

Really
sad situation for him. He went to my HS (McGill-Toolen). I remember the Murphy-McGill game his senior season, the guy was in Murphy’s back field almost every play. He was a man amongst boys. Whatever he choses I hope it works out for him.

Whatever he chooses, I hope it works out for him. (ill finish that for you) at Alabama…
Scoring against Alabama will be like birthing a child: rare, painful, and messy
He
was VHT as a recruit and Florida was after him something fierce. It was a LSU-UF battle for him. I think had Saban been in the picture he would’ve been ours.

Funny
you mention that, I just heard he qualified on the radio this morning. Hold on a sec, I’m going to go post a fanshot about it…

I broke that
story almost six hours ago……..wait…….what?……….nevermind
I don't know much about him
but I wish him the best! If he were to come to the good guys, is he a good enough player to make a significant contribution to our team? Thanks!
I know about the 85 scholarship limit, but are there any limits to total number of players? I saw it reported that we have a 105 man roster, is there a cap?
Yes.
I believe the other 20 make up the scout team…OTS/Todd/Pete/Kleph/Nico can qualify that.

105...
…is the limit for D1/FBS. This article outlines who is not on the 85, and the rest are walk-ons.

It's all
scholarship players plus the next highest walk-ons on the depth chart.

BENNETT: Dead? You thought wrong. Ever since you had me thrown out of the unit, I've been waiting to pay you back. Do you know what today is, Matrix? Payday.
Ahh
duh. Thanks BG!

This limit changes when the season starts.
I know Utah had 120 on its roster at one point a few years ago. They took a bunch of walk-ons once the season started.
Closer to family
doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Baton Rouge to Mobile and Tuscaloosa to Mobile is about the same distance. Advantage Baton Rouge because you have interstate the whole way.
But...
…Phelon Jones has transferred to Alabama (a close friend of his), and as a Mobile native he likely has closer friends at the state schools.
Not
just a Mobile native, but HS teammates.

AND
theres not this thing called an interstate between mobile and T-town???
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!
Not directly.
Taking back roads (non-interstate highways) can shave 30 minutes to an hour off of the trip.

Yup

They were...
…always Saban’s players…they just didn’t realize it.

Well, he hasn't won with them yet
they have yet to play anything with Alabama…so maybe in a couple of years.
Although damn fine retort, sir.

I guess recruiting JUST high schools is getting to be a bore for coach...
He is starting to recruit other universitys
