Yeah there has to be some crazy stories floating around coaching circles for that guy to not get any offers.



Usually young men with that much natural athletic talent can just bounce around until they run out of eligibility in today's climate.

what is even more impressive with that is we can't play ourselves yet we still smoked the rest of them by playing the most. Nobody can say our dynasty was built on the backs of cupcakes

This is true and that’s exactly what people have been saying about Georgia playing in the East.

After Georgia, the most successful team on that list from the SEC East is Kentucky at #6, with a record of 12-22 against ranked teams. Six of the top nine teams on that list are from the SEC West, while five of the bottom seven teams are from the SEC East.

Which all means Alabama had a much more difficult path than Georgia over the past 10 years.

It's funny that the first "highlight" they show from Milroe is him taking a sack.

Thanks Alabama_Fan. I almost threw up when I got to the secondary. I'm hoping that who we brought in can play above their heads

Jackson, Mack, and Sabb don't need to play above their heads, they just need to play up to their potential. They were all top 10 players at their positions coming out of HS, and are all 4 star portal players. I feel damn good about all 3.

The other 2 will hopefully be serviceable role players at worst.

But yeah, depth is a thing, and we need to pray for no injuries.

We are only carrying one less scholarship DB (we have one less corner) than we did last season and have way more in game experience with our transfers, especially Jackson, Mack, and Sabb, than we would have had otherwise. Zabian Brown and Red Morgan have had good write ups for their springs and we all know what Mbakwe could become. You have the WF and Charlotte transfers, Moore, Smith, Hubbard and Hurley. You can't replace Downs and I wish we had Amos but I see great potential in the secondary. And looking at the guys who are transferred out in the secondary, outside of Downs and Amos, the only other DB I see projected to start is Little and that is only because Greedy Vance unexpectly went into the portal.

Just watched the trailer twice and I don't know how they determined that UGA had more seconds than Bama. Sure doesn't appear as so.

I personally hate conference expansions for the most part, because they usually are about money. But I'm really glad the East and the West are done because the East has been pretty awful since 2007 when UT fell off. In fact the East was never very balanced, it was always top heavy, while the West was often much more balanced from top to bottom.
