Champlin moving to cover Alabama
Drew Champlin ‏@DrewChamplin 1m
...Of note, I'm transitioning off my current beat this week. Enjoyed covering UAB, Samford, JaxState, etc.
...Moving to the Alabama recruiting side, also assisting @ByCasagrande and @Andrew_Gribble with team coverage
...This fully takes place June 2, but doing a little bit of both this week. Great 19 months covering UAB, first 15 were much more eventful

Aww, crap. I knew he was doing too good a job for us to get to keep him!

Well done Drew, I miss you already. I was just thinking of writing to tell you how much I appreciated your good coverage.

Now I have to post it in your good-bye thread. Sigh.

It ain't easy bleedin' Green.

Why the ? in the title. Seems to be a done deal. His bosses recognized he was doing too good a job to waste on UAB.

Best of luck to him. They are paid based on clicks and traffic. A post about UAB gets 100 views and 3 comments. A post about Saban's haircut gets many thousand views and hundreds of Bammer and Barn comments.

Original posting was from a tweet that I didn't want to misinterpret. Removed it...

Thanks for all the hard work, Drew! I liked the video interviews and recruiting updates from Twitter that he did for us.

I am hearing his replacement is Soloman Crenshaw. That's the scuttlebutt anyway.

Going to miss Drew, he's a great guy. Crenshaw would probably do well for us.
