Great hire for you guys. I'm here to tell you that he's better than Kiffin.

Looks like all this "relapse" talk was false.

It's pro style but he mixes in a lot of spread concepts. It can be a lot of fun to watch. You guys will love him.

So, will it look like this year with Jalen Hurts and Tua coming in. Or does he like pro QBs better?

He definitely prefers mobile QBs now. He's the reason we have Sam Darnold here right now. Darnold was headed to Duke before he got a chance to look at Sarks offense.

Jared Maybens brother is a 2018 QB so that may be one.

If this news about Sarkisian is indeed true, you'd have to think this would help with Najee Harris seeing as Sarkisian was recruiting him for 2 years while at USCw.

Speaking of Harris, an "insider" on BOL says Najee signed his financial agreement with Alabama back in October, but they kept it quiet.

TIFWIW.

That doesn't really mean much. He could have signed them with UM, too.

Pretty sure you can sign it with more than one school. It doesn't lock the recruit into the team, but forces the team to save a scholly for the recruit.

Yeah. I guess the telling thing is we have gotten updates with pictures of the other guys who have signed theirs, whereas this one has been kept quiet.

I think those are early enrollees who are signing their actual NOIs? Or have they just been signing these meaningless slips of paper, too?

No. They can't sign an NOI until NSD even though they would have been on campus for a month. It's fricking retarded.

But these financial agreements aren't meaningless either. They force the school to honor the scholarship offer, but the prospect isn't obligated to attend the school in case he changes his mind.

The other benefit of signing one is you can have unlimited contact with the staff. No more restrictions.
