Unless he cancels his Oregon visit we likely won't here anything new on him until after the weekend.

haven't all the spring semester enrollments gone by? Weird to wait so long considering when he hit the portal. He might not be able to attend spring wherever he goes

Think he is a grad transfer. But either way if guys need to get in for spring the schools will figure it out, they make their own individual rules.

Absolutely awesome!

Puts Bama at between 80-83 schollys depending on the status of specialist.


Our roster is ravaged! Threadbare I tells you!

This now gives Husky Harsin 2 more top 100 commits after 13 days on the job than Original Recipe Harsin got in 2 recruiting cycles. Interesting.



I think Auburn fans may have mis-measured how much they won in the Saban retirement.

I think the only probable winner in the SEC was Georgia. Nick Saban has single-handedly cost UGA 1 national title directly (2017), 1 indirectly (2012), and at least two more CFP bids (2018 and 2023) where they would've been the #1 overall seed in one of those years. They thought they'd broken their personal demon by winning the 2021 season's CFPCG but turns out even in Saban's final season he could haunt their arse. Alabama may continue to be a great program but I find it hard to believe any man could damage an opposing school here as much as Nick Saban did to Georgia. People in Athens probably got on their knees and praised God for Nick Saban finally retiring.

So yeah, basically any other school is still dealing with a school that is going to haul in top talent and have a deeply entrenched and well invested-in program.

Nothing we ever did to UGA under Saban was worse than what we did to the corndogs on 1/9. Not even 2nd and 26.

Nope 21-0 decimated an entire program and fan base to the core and they still haven’t recovered. And to make it 100 times worse it happened in the dome lol.

IMO, Kalen DeBoer will out-coach Kirby in every encounter they have. He's just smarter and a better in-game coach. UGA may win some because of overwhelming talent or good fortune, but rarely because of coaching. Kirby is a good coach, driven, relentless and ruthless like Saban, but just not on the same level as a coach with CNS, even less so with CKD.

CKD is a tremendous in game coach and calm. Kirby is a hot head with a dorky haircut. Offenses like the ones that DeBoer and Ryan Grubb employ are the ones that always give Kirby/Saban defenses fits.

And to make it the most embarrassing game of all time they thought they had the GOAT defense that year, and then our defense only allowed them to cross the 50yd line ONE time and then pushed them BACK across the fifty on the next play resulting in never actually crossing the 50 yard line. Funniest shite of all time.

Like the night Leonard was supposed to win the Heisman versus Bama, but instead Henry won it vs LSU. lololollolol

It was bad, but I don't know that it was THAT bad. lol

In the 12 years since:
1 National Championship
1 SEC Championship
1 SEC Runner Up
9 AP Top 20s
6 AP Top 15s
2 AP Top 10s
2 Heisman winning QBs

They did go from a perennial Top 10 team to a perennial Top 20 team after that game, but their last 10 years would still be the best 10 year stretch ever for half the SEC.

This Michigan OT would fit the Grubb offense pretty well IMO. Lots of length, but will play around 310 not 350

Noah Carter is so athletic he was playing offense and defense the last couple seasons. Makes me wonder if he could be a huge safety closer to the box in this new 4 2 5. Would put another run stopper on the field that has the speed to cover ?

I wonder how much that is amplified by SEC Rant being a stomp spun off from Tiger Droppings?

I feel like Alabama did a lot more impactful damage to Georgia than LSU. Sure, Alabama knocked LSU out of the running in the regular season several times but it still was the regular season. Alabama largely denied Georgia their aspirations in championship games. Alabama pretty much halved Georgia's national title total during the Saban era at Alabama.

Saban pretty much destroyed the sec and caused a dozen or more coaching changes including 3 at LSU, 1 at Georgia, 4 at Auburn, 4 at TN in his 17 yrs. It’s been glorious especially as a life long Alabama fan in Louisiana less than an hour from LSU campus.

Good lawd, I just saw where he measured 6'4 240 at the All American game

Still points remains, we are LOADED at OLB, and we are thin at TE so I wonder if he is going to land on offense.

He returned two punts for TD this past season, and caught some passes. Guys on BOL say he is a top 100 player, and was trending upward at the end of the season. Projecting him as an early contributor at least on special teams. Big dude.

ON3 guys saying DeBear has told him he is going to play defense, but I would not be shocked at all once they see all the OLB's on the roster to see this kid switch to TE

Any good ones outside the incoming freshman ?

We must be grading these TEs differently, because they have been well below average for a while.

Meanwhile, who exactly is he gonna beat out at OLB ? We have 4 seasoned 5 stars and two top ten players nationally at OLB.

I'm just trying to find my dude some PT ?

I did just hear Travis Reir tonight on podcast compare him to none other than Deonta Hightower though so... if it's like that then I guess he'll find some PT
