Root out the ones solely in it for the money.

The rest come together as a team and play for each other and not a paycheck.

I could be jaded at this point but I feel like that’s about 85 percent.

Maybe one guy there who isn’t related to the Saban flip that isn’t a bust

Brockermeyer as well. Went from buried on the depth chart to a starter. All the rest either went nowhere or are too early to tell.

Tommy Brockermeyer, the 5* on the list, barely played at TCU and medically retired after the 2023 season.

James, however, still plays for TCU. He wasn't a 5* though.

I was about to make a joke about you sounding like Dabo, but damn if that bastard ain’t in the playoffs.
