    It’s looking like Oats is gonna keep Alabama in top 5 territory consistently. When you’re talking about the top of the top does location really matter?

    He’s got an OV to Marshall, but his parents won’t be able to make that trip. He’s leaning toward us right now. A good word has been put in for the Illini 😉

    My guys who play AAU practice 2 nights per week and then play 2-3 games per day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Kids play without learning how to play. See Charles Barkley’s rant about zone defense recently.

    Is the zooker still ripped 15 years later? Does he have any eligibility left? What’s his NIL number? Can we do player/coaches to fill out the roster?

    I have a strong, athletic secondary handler who is also a phenomenal passer, and a really strong guard who was my best post player as a Soph last year, and will be my best overall player next year.

    Won’t the fat TV checks help with this over time, I stress, over time? Like, in theory, we won’t need as many donations to the athletic department, and we can encourage donors to shift some of that money to our NIL pool? Not being top 50 means football is in the “anything helps” stage.
