That or we could end the charade that these guys that change schools every year give a rats arse about the education aspect and just end the enrollment requirement altogether. Let’s just call this a pro league that is sponsored by universities.

It’s funny that you mention that. I was talking about that exact same thing to my son last week. That used to be a real danger, being academically ineligible. I’ve personally not heard about it in years. Guess kids are just smarter now?

Hahahahahahahahaha

What does that say about him?

That he didn’t expect $aban to retire thus bringing in Julian Sayin who even Noland knows is better.

He jump from OSU to the cocks but couldn't break in the starting rotation

You think he is competing to take the starting job from Sellars? No, he thought he would transfer to USCe and Sellars would be going to the NFL and he would be looking at starting. Sellars surprised everyone by returning. He also CAN return the year after. Sellars is the paid and established QB1. Do you guys even pay attention to Meta? He has said over and over that when you have an established QB1 in today’s game where he cost you 3.5-5m to lock down, they aren’t having a QB competition. That person is your starter period.

So there are two major surprises that have happened with the teams he has picked. We don’t have that issue. We don’t have a NFL qb coming in. Brown WILL be gone after next season. We will absolutely be looking in the portal again next year for a qb.

Take a look at that back up from USF...knows the system and if he wasn't able to compete at the SEC level do yo think this staff would have taken him here at AU?

---

Yeah the kid has potential, but let’s call a spade a spade, he isn’t projected to make it to the NFL. He MAY could, but under no circumstances am I prepared to put all my eggs in 1 basket especially a 3 star that was the 61st rated qb in his class, and rated 1094 in the portal.

Also I find it interesting you bash Noland for not sticking it out to compete with 2 NFL QBs, while you are absolutely fine just handing the keys to the kingdom to some unknown QB who has a famous dad because the coaches think he can. Personally I’d rather sign as much talent as possible and let the best man win. And like him or not, like his decisions or not, Noland is talented.

I really don't want anyone that we went after that HF was high on. I don't think he had them right in the personality dept. Skill level yes but probably not in the head space. Too many games & not enough seriousness

---

You do realize we went after ALL the top players in the country under Hugh don’t you? We didn’t get a sniff from some as I’m sure they saw through his nonsense but Hugh was high on every single top 100 player. Now do you really want to abandon top 100 players because our former coach wanted them? If he could have signed the top 100 kids every single year he would have. Saying you don’t want “ANYONE” that Freeze wanted is about the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen on here. Not calling you dumb but that stance sure is. I get it though, wanting a clean break.

Kaz....

Bill Kazmaier, worlds stongest man, was on campus for a while to help with the strength program.

Regarding Bill Kaz, I used to go to his gym in Auburn on occasion back in the late 90’s. I remember seeing him around town sometimes too. He was a mountain of a man, even at that age (50s?). Truly impressive. Certainly inspiring at my young age.

the Chinese place?

if so, i have a funny story about that

I was wondering if we would target the center from USF. Getting him and the Ohio St guard COULD stabilize our line.

That’s a big addition.
