re: New timeout rules in college football, crackdown on faking injuries

I can't remember which game or the player but Bama did fake an injury this year. Just goes to show you what's going on here now.
Not saying it was OK, but pretty sure it was during a play in which the referees had improperly managed a substitution by the other team.
It seems like this new rule still leaves some wiggle room for teams to take advantage. Hopefully it does crackdown on some of it though.

Well, that’s exactly what they’re getting because they do deserve it… at least from an entertainment standpoint. And that’s what college football is: entertainment. It isn’t just the brand that brings in the cash. It is also having highly talented players that fans can follow on their way to the NFL.
This is what every athlete wants to believe but it just isn’t true.
Ryan Williams cannot transfer to Alabama A&M and expect to receive the same level of exposure or demand. Nico can gladly transfer to Tennessee Tech, and me and the other 20 people who come to the games will love watching him, but his NIL funds from Goodys ain’t flowing in at the same rate as they are from the collective in Knoxville.
The athletes deserve a cut of the revenue but less than 1% can actually make a claim to move the needle on creating actual value for their school. It is generally the school creating the value for 99% of the players.

Jarin Stevenson —-> Donyell Marshall
Jarin is the 2nd coming of Robert Horry- especially Horry in the NBA.
Both are undersized bigs that can guard smaller guys and occasionally use their length against taller guys. Both look like a baby giraffe when they try and drive, and both can knock down 3s.

He’s been solid but really, over Sears and Lewis?
Sears is an incredible guard, but as a pure PG, he is not as formidable. Philon is a better distributor and when Philon gets deep into the lane he’s much craftier than Sears at finishing.
Lewis was fast and maybe more dynamic in the open floor, but Philon is more polished and a better defender.
Lewis on this current team would be awesome to watch though.

If you switch their supporting casts, it could switch people’s opinions.
Personally, I think Philon is incredible and the best PG Bamas had since Sexton. JD unfortunately had to play with less around him. Philon was the much better penetrator. For as athletic as JD was, he struggled to get past defenders.

It’s kind of weird to see a first team all conference team that would lose to every other teams regular starting five.
One big man and 4 pgs doesn’t seem like a typical all conference team.

So you saw the SEC being historically the best conference of all time this year?
Finishing Top 4 in the conference with an expected top 8 tourney seed and being in the Top 10 all season is hardly something to bemoan.
You haven’t watched enough Bama basketball to be so pessimistic with this year. Every coach since Wimp would be clamoring for a huge raise based off this year alone.

They’ll like be a #1 seed and will face that same pressure in March. Better to learn it now than then.

He’s really been our rock offensively for many seasons. He’s gotten better defensively as well. If we make another final 4 what say you?
Perhaps a bit controversial but he isn’t even the best PG on the team right now. He is a much better scorer than distributor.
He should go down as the best player in Bama history. I don’t think it’s fair to assign him to PG or SG, maybe just call him the best guard to ever play at Bama.

It’s amazing how much better a WR can look when the QB actually throws him the ball. He was criminally underused in Denver.

The other 10 games they were pretty solid
The UGA game and 2nd half of UT were not solid. But overall they played really well this year. With better pass rushing they’d have been lights out.

Planning to go to the game on Sunday. First game at Coleman for me. What is a good section to sit in? And, where is parking for bball games?

Missouri instead of UT would probably make more sense there. No way UT would want to risk their guaranteed spot, but MIZZOU was 9-3 like those others.

This team is so deep, we redshirted guys of Rylan's talent level. I'm not saying he wouldn't play at all, being a third year guy, but how many minutes could he possibly get?
Wrightsell had multiple games over 30 minutes. I love Wrightsell, but he’s not far and away better than Griffen.
Your original claim was that he wouldn’t have gotten much more than what he’s getting as Kansas, and that’s just not reasonable.
re: Tide Hoops | Recruiting
Posted by SECFan413 on 12/9/24 at 5:48 am
You claimed he wouldn’t even see 20 minutes.
It’s reasonable he wouldn’t have averaged over 25 each game this year, but it wouldn’t have dropped below 20.
Don’t deflect from your poor thought.

Yeah, I doubt it. And he knew that. That's why he left.
A 3rd year guy who fits Oats style as well as anyone only playing about half the game is doubtful? Not a good take on your part.
He averaged over 25 minutes last year. It’s reasonable to assume he would’ve seen less this year, but in some games it would’ve been more. He probably assumed he should be getting Sears type minutes, and I’m sure sure Nate was honest about the plan for this year.

Yeah but if Rylan doesn't transfer to Kansas does Philon flip his commitment to Bama?
They play different positions, but I agree, I’d much rather have Philon.
It’s just asinine to suggest Griffin wouldn’t have played more and contributed more if he had stayed.

He would’ve probably played close to 20 minutes a game, especially games where he heats up from 3.
Bama is definitely missing a John Petty type guy this year that just gets unconscious from deep at times. Rylan had moments that approached that last year. He would’ve played a major role right now with Youngblood having been out and Wrightsell now done for the year.
