  1. I dunno what it was like at Bama, but Sark doesn't seem enamored with freshman WR not named Ryan Wingo. I'm not personally expecting a whole lot from Lockett and Ffrench next year.
  2. I agree with you on Blue. He's fast, but the skillset that he has shown so far is a dime a dozen to the NFL. The questions on my mind are: Is there any possibility that he realizes that he is not currently a draft prospect and actually decides to stick around for another year? If so, would the coaches even be interested in that? Especially if it comes with a price tag and/or an expectation that there will be more carries coming his way. To me, it feels a little like a Keaontay Ingram situation where it might be best for everyone to have a mutual parting of ways. That's a shame. I assume he'd get drafted, but no higher than 5-7 round, IMO. He may fall into the category of "better college player than NFL prospect". We could really use him next year for all the reasons CTJ listed upthread, and to help with system continuity for Arch.
  3. At WR, does Golden count as a "portal" addition? I'm sure they'd love to have him back, and will spend significant effort and resources to retain him. Lots of moving parts at RB. I don't see why Blue would be back. I could see Gibson peacing out for a larger role somewhere. The sad fact is that we have no idea if Baxter will ever be the same or not. It will be interesting to see how that all plays out.
  4. Don't get ahead of yourself, sip. Everyone knows that Arch is going to hit the portal, too.
  5. Always wondered about him. Supposedly our staff absolutely loved him as a prospect.
  6. Miami had extra time to recruit Wiley since they don’t have to prepare for a conference championship game or the playoffs.
  7. I guess college football teams are the hot new billionaire playthings? Can't wait until someone tries to relocate the Miami Hurricanes to Las Vegas unless he gets a new stadium deal.
  8. Raise your hand if you had "Larry Ellison's secret 33-year-old trophy wife becomes a major player in NIL" on your bingo card for 2024.
  9. Often we're talking about life-changing money for these guys. "You can buy your momma a house" is an insanely powerful pitch. Sucks for us if a rival goes crazy for a player, but I'm never gonna question a guy for getting what he can get.
  10. We didn’t go head to head with OU much this cycle. Really only Fasusi who the $9.95ers now say probably won’t sign with OU. aggy and LSU both have a handful of guys we definitely wanted. For aggy, that’d be Kiotti, Kelshaun Johnson, Chace Sims, I think DJ Sanders, and maybe Cobey Sellers? For LSU, Kade Philips, Aidan Anding, and their DTs. Also probably Harlem Berry but that was forever ago.
  11. I know it's in the nature of fandom to be really emo after a big loss, but TBH I think some of them are overdoing it with the harikari act. Their losses this year are to very good Notre Dame and Texas teams, on the road at a very solid SC squad, and a road 4OT heartbreaker against Auburn. That's....not that bad for year 1 of a new coach? They beat decent LSU, Mizzou, and Florida squads.
  12. VB must have been wearing his invisibility cloak on this play. Two aggy blockers ran right past him before he detonated the play.
  13. Alright defense, sweep the fucking leg
  14. No idea what just happened but it cost tOSU 10 seconds so ok
  15. God damn it Kirby I want to go to bed
