It is different now, and Saban left because he hated the greed and chaos of NIL and unlimited transfers. I had never heard of a college general manager until Courtney Morgan flew in with DeBoer- the only assistant on that first flight. Courtney and that position on other teams insulates the head coach some from all the bullshite of dealing with player agents, NIL arrangements, etc. It really us a different world from Saban’s.

If it was schemed right

Good point. If Grubb valued the run, he would scheme for it. But he loves fancy pass plays.

Prioritizing guys like Allen and Clowney, is a huge reason for the success.

And those two were ranked somewhere between 60 to 100. Oats is amazing at finding the right recruits for his system.

Think of it as on the level of football in Alabama

Last time Bama played BYU in basketball- about 2 years ago in the NCAA Sweet 16, Bama blew out BYU by close to 30 points.

Alabama 10-2

No one takes the SAT at most of those schools, it’s usually the ACT.

Correct. They may accept SAT scores, but most all prefer the ACT, which is more an achievement test than aptitude.

We definitely have players, but need to get out if that zone and play man- we have the talent to do that.

I turn 74 in September, so having passed my “three score and ten,” I am trying to rekindle the enthusiasm I felt as a boy reading the newspaper reports from the Skywriters Tour, back when all we k ew was what those reporters told us about fall practice. Good old days.

Oxford is the best college town in the SEC- and I say that as a Bama grad. Baton Rouge is a dump. Lane is just an immature boy with a Tinder account who can’t find satisfaction, peace, and love in his life. Too bad. He is a good coach but sold his soul to his ego.

Disagree. Playing an SEC game in Boutwell should be great. Not a bad seat in the house. Plus they just beat us in the SEC tournament, so we need to put a whooping on them.
