We keep hearing from the player. Any official word from the Alabama Football program?

Yeah. It could very well be nothing I wouldn’t bet on him coming back because we’re all speculating based on that Pate tweet, but I’ve had people (regular people, not insiders) say they legit saw him Tuscaloosa.

Well, the portal is closed until April 15th, so I don't think coaches or the Alabama football twitter account can release any "official" statement about it.

Downs is taken care of in a way Iowa can’t.

It's also kind of weird that Downs follows the Alabama football Instagram account but not the anOSU football Instagram account.

Some ppl understandably will have some reservations about KP after he left but getting him back is a big W.

He's a high quality prospect but he was soundly underdeveloped by the prior staff. He's raw though...but he's got a year of baptism by fire behind him.

Im interested to see where CKD wants him on the line. He could go to RT, but we dont have an heir apparent at LT. Or do we?

I think he's playing tackle for sure. My guess is he will play left tackle but the scheme will do more to accentuate his strengths and mask his weaknesses.

He took his lumps. I’m sure he learned a lot. I think it’s a win honestly.

what's to stop him from taking Ohio State nil and then playing for Bama? The fiction is that nil isn't tied to any school, so there shouldn't be anything in his nil contact that says he has to play for Ohio State

I imagine they write the contract in such a way where it never explicitly requires enrollment at Ohio State and participation in their football program but certain obligations of his NIL contract cannot be fulfilled in practicality without it.

For example, the podcast or radio/tv interview segments must be recorded at a location on campus that he will not have access to as a non-student/non-athlete.

'm fine with that, I guess. He has the potential to be great, especially if the new staff can help him with foot quickness.
move him to right tackle, he's plenty fast for that already. Coach up Pritchett for LT, he's the quicker of the 2. Plus no one is going to want to touch him cause if the stds

The literal first thing that went through my head after I read the headline. I knew he missed her desperately, and was going to go back only to find out she'd banged 10 different dudes while they were long distance.

ask me how I know...

it still hurts...

Does it still hurt because you are her and it's from running that train?

She won the corn shuckin contest at the county fair 3 straight years... that should make her a 9 on anybody's list if they have any class at all.
