First it needs to be made clear why he was dismissed, because if you get kicked out of Bama that's a concern all in it's self.

Possible reasons:

He sucks
Asked for a pay raise
Slept with Kiffin's wife
Looked at Saban's daughter
Had a secret Auburn tattoo
 
I heard from a Bama fan that I work with(reputable source...alumni, son plays on the baseball team) told me that his friends that are close to the program said he didn't do so hot in the spring. He supposedly was the favorite to be the RT but his play knocked him down the depth chart. I just finished talking with him too

He was a four star JUCO kid and just enrolled this January.

So he'd be ineligible this year, right?

If so, that really sucks for the kid. Signs on the dotted line in January, booted in May.

Charles Baldwin Dismissed by Alabama: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction
Charles Baldwin's tenure with the Alabama Crimson Tide football program ended before it began, as the offensive tackle was dismissed from the program on Thursday.

Per Michael Casagrande of AL.com, Alabama head coach Nick Saban confirmed Baldwin's dismissal in a brief statement: "Charles Baldwin has been dismissed from the program for a violation of team rules."

Baldwin originally announced his commitment to Alabama as a junior college transfer last June while playing at ASA College.

The New York native explained his decision to join the Crimson Tide to Drew Champlin of AL.com: "I have a great relationship with the coaching staff and the players, and I feel they can push me to be the best player I can be."

Baldwin was the latest in a long line of talented offensive linemen Saban has brought to Tuscaloosa. He's listed as a 4-star prospect and No. 2 JUCO transfer in the country, per 247Sports' composite rankings.

Even though this was going to be Baldwin's first year at Alabama, Casagrande noted he was considered a "prime candidate" to get reps at right tackle in 2016.

In March, Saban told Casagrande he felt Baldwin needed significant development before realizing his full potential: "A very good athlete. He's got a lot of ability. He's got a lot to learn. He's got a long way to go. We're going to continue to work with him, to get him to do things right, to get him to buy into doing things the way we need him to do them so he can have success here."

ESPN's Cole Cubelic did note on Twitter that Baldwin's dismissal will likely have an impact on the team in 2016:

Alabama has the highly touted Jonah Williams ready to step on the field in 2016. Saban has never had problems finding offensive linemen who can open holes for running backs to steamroll through with ease.

Losing Baldwin will test the Crimson Tide's depth up front, but no coach is better at recruiting and developing talent in the trenches. It's not going to have any long-lasting impact as the team prepares to defend its national title.

Touted JC transfer Charles Baldwin dismissed at Alabama

Offensive tackle Charles Baldwin, a four-star prospect who was considered the No. 2 junior college player in the 2016 recruiting class, has been dismissed from Alabama, the school announced Thursday.

A one-sentence statement from coach Nick Saban said Baldwin was dismissed for a violation of team rules.

Baldwin enrolled in January, and speculation was that he would be the leading contender to take over as the starter at right tackle for Dominick Jackson, who was a senior last season. But Baldwin did not live up to expectations and emerged from spring drills as a likely third-teamer.

True freshman offensive tackle Jonah Williams also enrolled in January and was much more impressive than Baldwin; he started at right tackle in the spring game after earning a lot of first-team reps during drills. Truthfully, Williams’ quick development means Baldwin’s departure doesn’t really hurt.

Baldwin (6 feet 5, 305 pounds), who is from Windsor, Conn., starred at ASA College-Brooklyn in junior college.

Sounds like Charles Baldwin did not live up to a plug and play type so bama cut him loose. Sounds like UM's Jahair Jones whom many feel has underperformed and could be asked to move on by Coach Richt.
