remember himsaying he could go to Alabama and be another Groves. He instantly became on of my favorites


He ended up better than Groves because of his run stopping ability. I saw mock drafts of him in the top 5 but he later dropped like a rock because he didn't hold up well against it.

I'm liking the Allen pickup, but he's gonna need to put on some weight. I've seen him listed as low as 225 lbs, and as high as 245.

I stopped reading here. It's hilarious that people can't have a decent conversation without this shite.



You and I can, and have in the past, have a decent conversation about this type of stuff.

You had to have seen my post about schools negatively recruiting against Alabama when it comes to black QBs. Why is that not taboo? Just because we've never had a black QB play lights out for us means we won't ever start one? Dameyune Craig used that shite against us with Winston last year and it got zero play around here.

Look, I'm all for doing whatever it takes to get a great player, sans cheating, but sometimes we don't know all of the facts. Not everyone we are recruiting for the Jack spot is promised that spot. I'm sure they are told they could "possibly" play that position if they play hard and earn it. There's nothing wrong with telling a guy what positions he COULD play if he signs with us, as long as we make it clear that they would have to EARN it.

I sure hope you will be able to get over the Hackenberg fixation. Maybe all it will take is for Bateman to win two NC's at Alabama before becoming a first round draft choice 4 or 5 years from now.


The only way I can forgive Hackenberg for his treachery is if in 3-4 years, when Drew Brees retires, he gets selected by the Saints and leads New Orleans to another Super Bowl title. If he doesn't do that, he will always get a after his name.

Now, if Bateman does like you said and brings home multiple NCs, I could make an exception.

You have more stipulations for a conversation than my wife by the way.

UT just offered also FWIW

According to Jon McNamara of BadgerBlitz.com, our Wisconsin site on the Rivals.com network, Immokalee (Fla.) defensive back Mackenro Alexander has been offered by Tennessee. Mackenro, a three-star safety, is the twin brother of four-star cornerback, and former Tennessee commitment Mackensie Alexander. Mackensie told McNamara that the offer 'could be a changer'.

Mackensie originally was commited to UT.

3 star DB and may move up after summer camps but I doubt he would ever get an offer from UA

Alexander is headed to the last school he visits. He's been committed to UT before and decommitted after a month.

Technically, I live in Caledonia so I guess I could go with a "Confederate."

I remember thinking "wow, if this guy is even CLOSE to Groves I'll be ecstatic". Groves was awesome. Upshaw ended up better. I'll take it
