Why so disgruntled? You must be an alter.

Alters usually are once they get called out.

FYI Wiltfong said he asked one of the DL coaches who the best DL in the country is after having watched these guys compete. He answered "Siaki Ika"

100% CB picks to Bama....

I sort of like Ika more than Tuitele. I think Ika has a higher upside. If he sheds some weight, he could be unstoppable in the middle. Tuitele seems a little overrated from what I keep reading, more of a project guy that could be good 2-3 years into his college career vs an immediate impact dude.

If you change Tuitele with Ika and I think Tuitele will be fine I just have a preference for Ika. That’s a hecka class!! You dropped Chaney and who else to get us down to 15?

---

I think Turnage would flip to Ole Miss, if Bama landed Hill and Dent.

That class would break the records for total score and number of 5-stars.

Gotcha

Tidal you my boy and all and I know we are in on everyone you mocked, but that is a level of optimism for a class Sam Spiegs would be proud off. Hope you right though.

I’ve heard people say Bryant might pay his way? If need be. Is this true?

I've only seen speculation that Tyson might not go on a FB scolly. If he doesn't, I think it would give us a way to use Jordan Davis' unused 2018 initial counter spot. Here's how: Since Musika & Hatcher joined the 2018 class on scholarships, we now only have 26 signee spots for the 2019 cycle, counting the one unused we still have left from 2018. We have a 27th initial counter spot due to Jordan Davis not qualifying, but his signee spot is gone. If Tyson pays his own way he'd technically be a walkon and non-counter against signee and the 25/85 counter limits. If he gets some kind of non-athletic scholarship, he won't count against our 26 signees limit. But when he plays in his first game he'd then count against the annual 25 inital and 85 total counters limits.

Maybe USC makes a run at Thibs and gets him. Maybe To'oto'o goes to Washington. Even if we didnt get them, it'd still be an Epic class.

Spoke to soon on Sanders.

Maybe on Carter too.

Vibes feeling more like Sanders to Bama.

Carter might wait or might grab a spot at ATM.
