I saw that. At least one LSU fan in that thread stated staff turnover is a constant at Alabama. But was immediately chastised for it.

Smith to LSU, Ruggs to FSU, Solomon to Michigan

Do we melt?

Only on the last two. And the fact that Alabama goes from trying to figure out how to fit all these WRs in a class to not getting enough.

Solomon is yours, IMO. I mentioned this before, SC has bowed out of the Solomon sweepstakes (we're going all out for Tufele). Everybody out here is saying he's headed to Bama. He might have tipped off our coaches on his decision.

247 makes final rankings of best players in 2016 season.

Criteria:

quote:

1. We’re looking for the best players from the 2016 season.

2. Production matters, but so does... 3. Ability is a nebulous term that is defined in different ways by different people. But if you see a running back that has 800 yards ahead of one who has 1200, chances are we just thought Player A had more ability.

4. Position matters. All things being equal, take the left tackle over the guard.

How do we deal with injuries? A number of players that were previously included in the College Top247 suffered injuries that caused them to miss games. For the purposes of this exercise, we decided that to be included on the list a player must have played in at least 50 percent of his team’s games. For the injured players who did qualify, the amount of time they missed was factored into their ranking

Thanks for the update.

Now stop posting Instagram pics of our boys hanging out in front of 10 year old cars.

that was just a thread by some random fan on our 247 board. It's crazy how much it's blown up.

BOL has been quiet lately. Surprised they aren't commenting on Ruggs to FSU trend.

They usually don't comment on a recruit unless they have reason to. A lot of these rumors are just that. Rumors.

If Tim or Hank thought he was FSU bound they would CB him to them.

They have him CB'd to Alabama already. It appears they still feel confident in those picks. Same with Devonta Smith and Solomon.

They're both quiet because they know about as much as we do right now.

Would be nice for our side to find Napier's replacement and go ahead and get that leaked ASAP haha.

Have I missed something with the ole miss cheating? I was looking at team recruiting rankings, and was shocked when I saw Ole Miss had 14 commits, and 13 of them are 3-Stars. I know they cheat, they know they cheat, everyone knows they cheat, but I figured the NCAA would have their thumbs up their asses like always and not do anything. But with that bad of a class, has something come out about them getting in trouble soon?

For the record Derrick Ansley is Henry Ruggs main recruiter, not Billy Napier.

Mike Locksley is likely the next WR coach. Probably why Saban would never say what position he would coach. Makes me think Saban knew Napier would be leaving for a while, but didn't want the info leaked until after NSD.

Someone is going to get a “arse chewing" for this leaking early.

Also, Nick Saban, a guy some may have heard of, has been pretty involved too. I've read that he has a great relationship with Ruggs and his mom. Fwiw.
