Unless he means Diaz, who committed to us and is trying to reclassify.

No doubt the governor will use Medicaid funds to pay for players. Huey Long stopped Ringling Bros Circus at the border, requiring that all animals be dipped in vermin killer, so they would not interfere with LSU football ticket sales.

Diaz. Not entirely sure what is pending to make that be official.
He has to complete classes to graduate from high school. I’m sure he can do that on line- especially since OTM in Atlanta closed down- but taking the classes likely will take all summer. Collins committed in August. Diaz may finish by then.

I appreciate your optimism, so I’m going to buy your take. It is frustrating to think that possessing pot in this day and age could ruin a young man’s life- especially one like Aden who has never been in trouble.
quote:
We are getting Aden back
I really have doubts about that- even though I think a harsh punishment over pot is nonsense because we are one of only 5 states where pot is illegal. Still Aden is charged with “felony” possession, and at the SEC meetings this week Byrne sounded pessimistic about his return. That’s why I think we and Diaz, an Aden clone, are trying to work out a reclassification. Hope Aden can, but lots of obstacles to overcome.

So, IMO, they really only have one, maybe two games they have a shot at losing.
That’s true of the whole Big 10: 3 or 4 really good teams, then the rest of the conference is “buy game” teams.

Yes, and the best rebounder on the team.

Hurts’ degree is from Bama. Oklahoma transfer was only because he didn’t want to play behind Tua again. He needed to start and play in a high powered offensive system. He was right- and he is acSuper Bowl champ.

Wrong. SC is in desperation mode and spending profusely in the portal. We are loaded with 6’5”-6’7” wings, his position, so he would have lots of competition at his position and difficulty getting much higher NIL.

Key here is that the 5 years starts at high school graduation, 18 yrs for most, or 19 max, so suits can’t go back too many years.

From what I understand, both Bama and UConn moved on from Freeman - or Freeman’s agent. We cancelled his visit and invited Fielder.

Keelon looks like he will be special. If he is comfortable back there in SEC play, watch out.. Jayden Daniels 2.0.
Jayden Daniels is a good comparison. Keelon is cool, calm collected in the pocket. Completed passes all day today to receivers I didn’t see. Incredible vision of the rush and receivers downfield.

Ryan looked great today. Meadows and Morgan had big plays.

blame the NCAA for sticking their fingers in their ears while screaming "amateurism", for the last 50 years. The writing was on the wall decades ago, and they are not going to get an anti-trust exemption.
This is the source of the chaos. Dissolve the NCAA and establish NFL/ NBA models and hold players to contracts- as we do coaches.

We recruited Donnie Freeman out of high school. He could replace Bol Bowen easily. Still need a Sherrell replacement- or addition as I think Onyejiaka, if healthy, will be much stronger inside than Sherrell. Cade Phillips is tougher inside than Sherrell. Sherrell is better shooting 3’s though.
Bama girls won their championship.

We lost $10 million last year in women’s basketball. Key problem is attendance. I don’t know why, but gymnastics and softball draw really good crowds, but women’s basketball dies not.
Bama has 3 Elite 8 appearances. First was early 2000’s, then past two years, 24 & 25.
