Lane Kiffin: 'No doubt' Tua Tagovailoa would have transferred if he didn't play Monday

My expectation is that Hurts will stay where he can have more NFL eyeballs on him. If a position move is coming, my bet is he'd choose staying and splitting carries at RB for Alabama than coming here and spitting them with Motor

I wouldn't underestimate Kiffin's relationship with the players, and he's clearly kept in contact with his former players at Bama, and having a few staff members from Bama could be some really persuasive factors in bringing Hurts to FAU.
All that to say, I'd see him transferring to a P5 school long before FAU.

For comparison, would it be allowed for say Willie Taggert to come talk to Motor and advise him that transferring to FSU and sitting out a year would be best for him?
No doubt it happens, but I am not sure how good it looks for Kiffin to be saying in the media that he is talking directly to Hurts.

Let the Jalen Hurts rumors get started after Saban's recent quote saying he wasn't sure Hurts would be on the roster:GeorgiaOwl said
Guess we have some roster space now?Posted On: Jul 19th 2018, 9:54 AM #379136
Alabama's Nick Saban unsure whether QB Jalen Hurts will be on roster for opener
I think it is highly unlikely he transfers now (anywhere) - might as well stay, graduate, and then transfer next season without having to sit out.

NOT the style of quote you expect to hear from Old Nick.
I agree, best route is to stay one more year then be free to play immediately…
If we get another year out of Kiffin, and he leaves, what says you about the odds of him landing here?
