Darrington Sentimore to Transfer?

PrintThe offseason attrition continues, with defensive lineman Darrington Sentimore looking to transfer in the latest round of "where can I get playing time?" Per TideSports.com
A source close to the situation said that Sentimore's reason for transferring is related to a disciplinary issue, and that the former four-star recruit has had disciplinary problems in the past. Sentimore has not been formally dismissed from the Crimson Tide program, nor has he ever been publicly suspended.
Sentimore is a redshirt sophomore, seeing some mop up time but making very few contributions so far despite looking the part the past two A Day game. With the defensive line looking to rebuild and generally featuring zero star power going into 2011 the loss of a fresh body that was at least looking like he could develop into a solid contributor is a blow to depth, but if this is, in fact, a disciplinary issue (which is speculated in the TideSports.com article and on the Twitter) then perhaps its best for all involved.

It's better than the Shula years...
When nobody was leaving and we stunk.

Question:
Are other successful recruiting teams having these issues as well? We’re seeing good talent leave over playing time but what’s strange is the youth of some of them. Sentimore and Grant had plenty of time to win a job and both would have surely had a role on the field.
We can say “the best players want to compete and are confident they can win the job” all we want but this kind of thing will be used against us in recruiting. I don’t think it’s anything to panic about, but it is something to watch. More importantly in the short run is how this affects our depth quality.
Sports are a culture's way of getting at 5 or 6 great men... and then assuring that their greatness remains petty.
Not as big of a surprise given the recent suspensions, but it looks like we can add Robby Green to the list.

I was hopeful as anybody, but did anyone really think that Robby was ever going to see the field again?

Rumor
Heard he couldn’t behave. Something about fireworks being shot in Bryant hall?

Dammit.
Sentimore…dammit, Robbie.
That is all.

If this is truly about Sentimore's discipline,
then this is quite surprising. The article confirmed what I thought — that he had not been suspended. We were all hoping he would contribute, but if his discipline is shaky, then it’s probably better that he transfers.
Green’s exit is not surprising at all. We all wish he could have straightened up, but he was suspended for entire YEAR and then through spring by Coach Saban.

I would rather have someone with a little less talent that is willing to give 110% every day than someone that has more talent and no discipline.

I agree !!
those kids who dont take it seriously and have a ton of talent come in and half ass it. Then you get a kid who is half the athlete that the first one come in and bust his ass to improve and is there for the love of his team….. well give me that dude everytime when it comes to a clutch situation. The guy with the heart is gonna make whatever sacrifice he needs to in order to build the team, while the other is going to do whatever it takes to make himself look good.
I only want the team that wants to be there.

Exhibit A: Javier Arenas
The harder he got hit on a kick return, the quicker he would get up and trot off the field. Heart.

Trust in The Process.
I do hope we get good D-line play, though. I read somewhere that that might be important in American Football.

What is happening....
in T-Town? To many defections. Are these guy freaking out about the hard work outs coming up? Maybe Carter is on the way, and Malone knows he will get limited playing or no playing time at all?
The kick is up it is in the air...its got distance...its good, its good, its good, its good, Van Tiffin has won the ball game...Alabama has beaten Auburn. Van Tiffin has kicked 52 yard field goal and the STATE of Alabama is CRIMSON!!

I heard that its..
..both Sentimore and Robbie Green got in trouble and the player council voted them off the team. Person who told me is pretty reliable and wouldn’t say what it was over work email.
…grain of salt
heard same thing
but wasn’t going to post it due to the strong hate around here for anything that doesn’t have a 100% chance of being true and an outlined thesis supporting it.
Heard green was in trouble again for the same thing he got suspended for, and sentimore was in trouble for that now too. Player Leadership Council voted them off team and Saban agreed with their decision.
