Just goes to show that if you sign enough of these problem players, regardless of how talented they are, they will eventually become a big problem and a huge distraction for your program. Not surprised because Jimbo recruited the same type of players at FSU and still couldn't dominate the ACC when it was a much weaker conference. Just goes to show that character still matters! I just can't believe A&M were dumb enough to give him a guaranteed contract when he was mediocre at best most of his time at FSU.

See! It feels good to admit it.

He had flashes of greatness his freshman year.

But is easily injured and motivation seems to be lacking.

Someone will take a chance in him. I hope he gets his head right.

Would be such a waste of talent.

About time. Kid has talent, but is not a good team mate. From somebody at TexAgs

So you know who you're dealing with:
He didn't play the Ole Miss or Miss St games even though he was cleared.
Practiced the next week and played because that's when he was due to get paid.
Then didn't practice or play against LSU. Hasn't practiced since.
Waited to enter the portal after he got paid on December 15.

Good riddance.


Same could be said about Juice Wells. shite teammate.

doesnt mean it will be the same at the new stop....also doesnt mean Ole Miss wont try to grab him

Alabama seems to do a better job than anyone of keeping the troublemakers somewhat in line and at least semi-productive

I think Nolen announces after Lane's presser today.

Wish Stewart had been in the portal a week ago but I think this one was done before he entered.

Lots of UGA rumors with Stewart on our end. He is extremely talented but needs to be in the right role. He will struggle with physicality/press coverage on the outside, he needs to be able to operate out of the slot in the middle of the field.

I could see UGA or Bama. Good for him, we don't play either team.

he needs to go to the Pac12. he'd be a biletnikoff winner in rileys offense.

Eh, there isn't much going on here. Hardly any true clubs...mostly a dive bar scene. I think the general approach is just making a young GTA be their life chaperone for 3-4 years.

A&M would he better off with less Divas on the team. WRs who are willing to block are more valuable to this offense.
LOL that’s what your going with ?

Alabama, honestly, has too many slot types on the roster. They're slap-arse full of 5'11'' <200lb receivers who flourish in space without having to deal with press coverage. Alabama needs production at X and Z in 2024. Benson is a non-factor at X and Burton (at Z) has no more eligibility left.

Stewart is too talented to not take if he's interested but I'm not sure he's a fix to Alabama's depth chart at WR. Adding another talented player and aiming towards growth from everyone before 2024 is never a bad policy though.

Source? Gerry and Bobby have pretty steadfast in saying they don't think Texas will be interested.

Somebody who was there. Sarkisian was probably drunk but something to watch.

This will free up a lot of NIL he is talented just not as productive. Could have been the offense could have been his work ethic. We will see but based on the portal outs from last year and Jimbo’s lack of control I would say it’s the latter.
