@CharlesGPower 1m RT @AlabamaTrack: Tony Brown clocks the fourth-fastest time in school history (7.83) to finish third in the finals of 60-meter hurdles

The great thing about that time is he would have finished 8th at last years NCAA Indoor T&F with that time. A top 8 that included 4 seniors, 2 juniors, and 1 sophomore with better times. Not bad for a kid who is just recently started on hurdles 3 inches higher than what he has been running on for the past 4 years.

In regards to his performance and thinking not a big deal because the UA T&F program has been subpar, well interesting note. The current record for fastest time in the SEC Championship indoor meet was set in 2002 by a senior from UA, Ron Bramlet with a time of 7.52. He also won multiple NCAA championships in track outside as well in hurdlers. His 1st 3 three years after leaving UA he was ranked in the top 10 in world. Some if TB and MH are go on to break hurdle records at UA, it only means the program will be one of the best in the country.

Yep and Big Cam is overrated, and they dodged a bullet with missing on Tony Brown...I could go on and on and on

Mine and Garfield's personal fave is regarding all the BS about Eddie Lacy not being offered because LSU coaches thought he wouldn't qualify when it was really a miss and Les and co didn't have faith in the kid to improve his grades the way Bama's staff did...but they still think Bama did something against NCAA rules (and something LSU CLEARLY wouldn't do at all in their minds) to get Lacy qualified and in

That is all fine and well, but we are missing the obvious with them.... Mo Claiborne. He reads on a 6th grade level. How did he get in?

Oh I know...its so hypocritical and you can't tell me Tyrann Matheiu isn't any better representation either

@Rise_then_Shine: To all the schools recruiting me. I haven't locked down all my schools yet. It is still open to everyone!!!

A great number of SEC football players probably read on a 6th grade level. If his wonderlic score is indicative, Mo reads on a second grade level or cannot read. Wonderlic, Inc. claims a score of at least 10 points suggests a person is literate. Mo got a 4. Which (unless he blew it off) means he can't read and is even poor at guessing (technically picking "c" for every question would result in a score close to 12).

No show = must not love his state, ie traitor
Show = trolling LSU, ie traitor

Either way, "don't like the way he handled his recruitment"

I'm getting to the point that I'd rather just read this recruit thread and only pick out highlights on the SECRB, currently there is way too much homerism, especially LSU fans.

I'm starting to think sometimes that LSU has two recruiting boards

5* OT Martez Ivey and 3* FB Chandler Cox are visiting Friday.

Besides DTs and Ends, what are must have positions in this class?

I think we will make TE and FS a priority. We also need some OT's and some slot receivers.
