Looking forward to Looch's comments in August about how A&M backed off of Hill, Hicks, Malik, Toviano, and Baxter.

Freddie Dubose Jr. - Samuel Clemens - WR (on3.com)

"It wasn't a committable offer" - Aggy (probably)

We can sign 85 this class, but we'll probably save a few for the portal.

Can confirm

South Carolina is making their move. Might not be as big a deal as sunflower seeds, but you have to start somewhere.

John and UL had a pretty big public falling out...his name is off the stadium and he has season tickets behind UK BBall bench... I doubt he's dropping bags for UL

This is bs. $3M for a rb is nuts. Also, why would Adidas want Owens at UL rather than a bigger profile school.

When they got a commitment from Pierce Clarkson, a 4 star QB from CA, buzz picked up because his dad is a well respected QB trainer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Clarkson. That got DeAndre Moore's attention, which is why they were confident they could get Moore for $150k a month or 2 ago, although I think the final deal was a little higher. They just had their big recruiting weekend and their pitch includes a menu of NIL perks such as a room at the Galt house overlooking the river, use of an exotic car (can only use for a limited number of miles because of fears of a crash), flying family to all games on a private jet, ProRehab so if they're injured they'll still get NIL money by saying they're using ProRehab. Humana is also a big NIL contributor. They have a slide saying their first NIL deal was July 2021 and in the first year they've secured $4M in NIL money and they expect that to increase to what Texas is doing for OL. Thought it was hilarious they actually mentioned Texas in their presentation slides as to what they aspire to be. They also said they can now do legally what Alabama has been doing for years. It also appears that they are actually required to do promos to justify their NIL deals, so it appears legit. They also don't seem to be involved in the bag game (all money goes to athlete after signing and after NIL deal signed), except for minor stuff during visits. The buzz with Clarkson got the boosters to donate more, which got more recruits interested, which got more booster money, and the snowball keeps rolling downhill.

I'd be OK with Sankey reconsidering the Bjork email and suspending Saban for the week of the UT game. Not that it would affect the outcome, but just to see the Aggy reaction.

Lots of folks responding to the above article:

A top 15 finish for both track teams will probably be enough to guarantee a cup win. I'd be shocked if we weren't top 3 for both track teams though, so we should win the cup by >100 points easily.

Here's the image from the above post. You have to use the points from the sports highlighted in red. You then pick the next best 15.
