Gotta say, that was a pretty great game to be in attendance for especially for a house packed with recruits. Any early feelings on how the visits went?

I came here to ask the same thing. Just a great atmosphere and win for recruits to see, especially after last week. And, a great game for defensive recruits to see - there is a path to early playing time as we need athletes.

If the ncaa moves to 5 years of eligibility what will be the impact on roster sizes. I would imagine players would get grandfathered in. We would also have a lot of guys that could come back
I thought Bret said about 40 kids

What starters/valuable players get a 5th year if the rule changes but are gone if rule doesn’t change?

Javari Barnett bumped up to 88 (from 85). no such thing as a big boy bump
It was pretty obvious that bump was coming before he decommitted and committed to Bama. Everyone on here was already calling him underrated. 247's own rating often lags behind the Composite. I actually think their rating by itself is pretty useless, especially since the primary reason for using 247 in the first place is the Composite. His most recent Composite score is actually a decrease. His earliest score was from July 2024 and was 0.8901. His current Composite score is 0.8889. Meanwhile, Nelsyn Wheeler's score has increased from 0.8417 in May 2025 (pre-commitment) to 0.8633 in July 2025 (post-commitment).

so, we're starting to get big boy bumps (to a lesser degree) too. never thought I'd see the day
