Nick Saban recently expressed his thoughts about former Alabama wide receiver, Aaron Anderson.

Anderson is an Alabama transfer, who currently plays for the LSU Tigers. Saban spoke briefly to him after Alabama defeated LSU 42-28 Saturday to get control of the SEC West and commented, “You’d be playing more here than you are there” after the big matchup.

Saban talked a little bit more in detail about losing the former four-star on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

“I think Aaron would’ve been playing a lot of football for us this year,” Saban said. “He’s an outstanding player. He’s a fine young man. We were happy to get him in recruiting. We hated to see him go. But these things aren’t personal to me. I want to support the player. I want to see him do well. I want to see all players be more successful in life because of the experience they had in college football, so having resentment toward guys that do it, I just don’t do it.”

Alabama has multiple transfer plays playing significant roles this season.
