No invitation have been sent out for Yea and I think Red Elephant is pretty much gone now.
There will probably be some big name boosters who I’m sure will get to attend and a few of the staff members at Yea will be there and are supposed to report the happenings.

That's not surprising. He was a starter DL with good size at a Big Ten school. You aren't getting him without paying real serious money.

James Smith is probably getting that from Ohio State so if he ends up being better than him then it’s a win.

To hell with James Smith. Dude was always showing up on tape for the wrong reasons. Personal fouls, loafing, etc.
Hopefully Thompkins wants to play his way into the early part of the NFL draft. But i really think this DL has tons of potential. Somebody is going to step up and show out.

I bet most of Ashton's drops occurred in the Iron Bowl... thankfully. They probably would have won by two touchdowns if their receivers didn't drop half the passes that they did.

Pretty sure Thompkins was brought in specifically because he was an upgrade to Smith and I believe he is a pretty big upgrade. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him rack up anywhere from 6-10 sacks this year.

I stand corrected. I thought a lot of the REC was absorbed once Yea became a thing. That means they’ve just been a specific chapter talking about it.

I understand why Smith was a 5*, he has that upside.
I don't believe he was playing at the level he wanted to be paid at so NIL era hard decisions have to be made.
Maybe in a contract year for the NFL he plays consistently to his talent level, but I don't think the coaches would trade Thompkins for Smith and its likely Thompkins is a better system fit due to size, etc.
We'll all see how it plays out.

Healthy Ty might've ended up as 1.1 in the NFL draft if he showed he could make the vertical throws regardless of the offensive line.
We only saw that Ty until he got broken in half at South Carolina. The Ty we got for parts of the rest of the season were barely functional despite being one of the grittiest and toughest performances I've ever seen from a Bama QB.
Ty Simpson 2025
65% / 3,567 / 7.5 / 28-5 / 145.2 RTG
Jalen Milroe 2024
64.3 / 2,844 / 8.9 / 16-11 / 148.8 RTG
Long story short, I would take Ty back in a minute and he's one of my all-time favorite players for what he played through, but there are reasons to believe that the two guys we have competing for the job could actually end up being as good or better than the "average" game we got from Ty last year which wasnt on par with the other elite NFL 1st Rd guys we've had.
