Yeah, I'm fine with both getting in. I think they're both borderline.

Samuels nor Alexander will be getting in.

Lewis won't either. Getting in is a high bar.

Based on what? Kind of a silly statement, IMO.

Pick out an offensive lineman that got in with one first team all pro selection and post it ITT.

BTW, I'm not hating on Bamas NFL pedigree, that wasn't the pint of this thread.

There's a case to be made for both to get in IMO. Ultimately, I doubt either one does.

I think the fact that Samuels was nominated in his first year eligible says a lot. He'll get in eventually, IMO.

Didn't realize he was nominated. I still stand by likely no.

If Ja'waun James stays healthy and has the career I think he'll have. I think he'll make it in. That's far down the road though but he immediately springs to mind as a future Hall of Famer. Also, if anyone figures out how to us CP the right way/maximize his skills he should make it too. He's already amazing.

As for Alexander and Lewis... I think both should be in.

It's easy to attract talent when your boosters will pay six figures for prospects

Have you seen him lately? This is from April 11 (family day):



Eric will be back, imo and sooner than many think. He gets better by the week.

Don't be mad cuz you're too poor to pay top dollar for top talent.
