re: Class of 2026 Football Recruiting

I'm just ready to move back home.

The worst decision I've ever made in my life was leaving Prattville in 2020.

I did it for financial reasons and we've made a lot of money since the move, but life was so much better before the move.

My wife has told me multiple times that she may never forgive me for moving us to Texas. shite, I may never forgive myself. Other than HEB this place sucks.

Without Daniels, they’d have a losing record.

Honestly, this reminds me of that other project (Prince?) that committed to Auburn.

We’ll see if Hugh can develop him but I’m personally meh about this

It worked out pretty well with Prince Tega but, man, no one had any idea what to make of him when he came in. Signed as a DE and currently doing the “cup of coffee in the big time” regarding the pros.

I traveled for twenty five years on my job in the energy sector. I decided to retire and stay home full time and work as a realtor. You had recently moved to Prattville. I remember you telling about the experiences you had with your realtor. So when I became a realtor and Covid hit, I was being asked to do a lot of video tours. I showed people every flaw I saw. I especially would comment on how the house smelled. Because of reading your experiences, it really helped me provide clients what they wanted. I have had a really good five years and a lot of my success is because of reading about what happened to you. Thanks and Roll Tide!

This was probably answered so sorry if that’s the case..but why is Ryan Williams waiting until February to sign?

Have to wonder if a kid who wants NIL is going to sit around and be developed or will he be chasing a check every year.

He wants to sign on his 17th birthday (although I guess there could be other reasons not publicly mention (e.g., maybe he has to wait until then to confirm he'll have enough credits to graduate on time?)).

Unless the judge says he has to do community service hours on Fall Saturdays, I don’t think these legal problems will keep him off the field. It is really how he responds to these charges. If he’s guilty, he should plea now and take his lumps in the Spring.

This stuff makes him sound like a real piece of shite though.

The current system, or more accurately, the lack of one is not sustainable. The school's need to come together and agree on some basic sanity checks.

Portal allows free movement every year, but only during certain times, those times need to begin after the natty game and end before fall camp. No one should be transferring during the season.

Recruiting/Contacting players on a current roster should be considered tampering outside of certain time periods. the NFL has a rule similar to this. Punishments for this need to involve lengthy suspensions for the head coach (not the lackey assistant who did the deed). Repeated violations should result in show cause.

as for the money. Right now there is no limit. Many college players are going to have to take a significant pay cut when they go to the NFL. The NFL salaries are kept in check by the cap. College has no cap. In theory a super wealthy guy could buy Vandy the entire All-American teams, all three levels. Assuming everyone is for sale, which it seems everyone is today. At some point that will need addressing.
