Lol I can see that, are you gonna make a big deal about my commit? Seeing how I was basically saying if he leaves big deal, and not calling anyone out , like you are. But if that’s your thing, have at it

The potential BIG suck is a lot of the perennial top ten or money schools may just sit back and wait to poach not just first and second year stand outs from programs, but they may keep an eye on schools that have built reputations on catching "diamonds in the rough" in the recruiting process and step in to take them away.

Kind of sucks but glad we've got plenty of time to recruit another. Also, Bama or A&M never seem to utilize their TE's much.

Alabama has had a few TEs go in the first couple rounds. O.J Howard was the 12thish? overall pick.

Did you really name a player from 8-10 years ago? And I'll bet you had to look that up. TE might be the lowest drafted position coming out of Bama under Saban.

They have bigger bank accounts for players than we do

Now, we're talking some truth. I agree

My buddies dad helps them with NIL deals.

No didn't look it up, otherwise I am sure I could have done better than 12ish with my pick.

Edit: It was 6 years ago, since then Alabama also had Irv Smith Jr drafted 50th. Going to Alabama (if that's where he goes) has nothing to so with utilization in college otherwise he goes to Iowa.

Both of his kids are really high on Walter's. One is a former IU, NFL player, trains the top players in the state of Indiana and also has a positional coach offer from Purdue and the other is a Purdue undergrad, AAU Indy heat coach and NFLPA agent.

We're in a good place with Walter's. A ton of top talent are high on Purdue and that has come from Walter's young vibrant leadership.

They've also won a few more national championships.

 

[New Pal Boiler]

They've also won a few more national championships.

And… how do you think they procured the players to win all those championships?

 

[Poprudy]

They've also won a few more national championships.

Yes, but most 5* recruit could care less if it didn't equate to an NFL contract. 3*'s they're going for the Championship.

Any odds on him being in the portal in the future?

Probably not, as he most likely takes that $50,000 XFL deal.🤣

If the NCAA does not install a HARD CAP asap like the NHL has which has successfully been upheld, COLLEGE SPORTS will just be a side show of the haves playing the have nots since we do not have Billionaires willing to dump money down a hole with no bottom!

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Honestly, looking at the roster, we're pretty stacked with solid guys with upside. Could be as much about playing as anything else.

Shame that Alabama pumps out better graduates who make more money, huh?

It’s simply sidewalk alums who care more about winning than the academic reputation of a school they didn’t go to.
