Love it! If kids and they're handlers want big money and guarantees, prove your current market value. They have to be better than current team members, or the best available in the transfer portal. This cuts both ways. Role players, or those willing to take a traditional approach to development and playing time, will receive the value consistent with that market value.

This would be the time to get both programs for sure.

Why you gotta kill my dreams of our new tight end sized combo guard busting through the post for a thunderous dunk?! Geez man.😂

6'5" 247 combo guard, or tight end?! If he can shoot, and plays with discipline and fire, I don't care!

After being a competent qb away from a championship last season, I'm sure Day never wants to be in that position again. He HAS to beat Michigan this year. It's funny to hear Bama fans crying about O$U buying players. The ultimate irony and hypocrisy. They honestly don't deserve Deboer.

This is the key for me, is CW willing to adapt and make necessary changes? After listening to coach Cig, I don't see how Scott will just accept CW telling him he's just gonna "keep working on it." CW also needs to admit the errors made in roster construction and have a plan for properly utilizing our NIL resources to build a product consistent with our financial commitments.

You beat me to it. I remember watching Wennington go against Patrick Ewing, Ronny Seikaly, and Ed Pickney in the Big East. He was VERY skilled and crafty. The 80s lumberjack look may have lead some to think he was less athletic and skilled than he really was at the time. Nice NBA career as a role player as well.

Washington just dropped down a level with the loss of Deboer. Think they'll be more Wisky than OSU/Michigan now. They're a program we need to be able to compete with along with UCLA. Getting out of the B1G East means our schedule should be more favorable going forward for CCC. I may now have to cheer for coach Deboer's team.

I would have to board up my home and business if that were to occur!

I would tend to agree. Think they can do better. With Sexton heavily involved, there will be smoke just to drive up contracts for several of his coaches.

Mega agent Jimmy Sexton is in Tuscaloosa, so something is in the works. Bama fans would LOVE to get Kiffin. Some crazy Bama fans think Belichick would be Kiffin's DC.🤣🤣 Mike Norvell is the betting favorite, but who knows. They also think Demeco Ryans would leave the Texans because he played for Saban.🤣

Forgot Deboer switched to Jimmy Sexton as his agent last summer. There's our connection! He is also the agent for Kiffin and Sark. A Sark bidding war between Bama and Texas could be fun theater.

Just saw that. Bama fans REALLY wanted him. On to the next rumor...

Good point. As far as Dabo, Bama fans were ready to hand the reigns over to him 5 years ago. Now they're not so hot on him. Think Lanning was they're first choice, but now we see if Jimmy Sexton can get Lane Kiffin to Tuscaloosa.

Agree, but with Washington joining the B1G, Deboer will be tougher to land. I don't think he has any connections to Bama or the SEC, does he?

Hearing a ton of smoke around Lanning from alums. Need to move fast. Recruits are being poached quickly. Ryan Williams decommited. Huge loss.

Age and leveling the playing field in recruiting caught up to Saban. Absolutely phenomenal coach that was at the right school at the right time. Mega resources, along with willingness to spend on facilities and recruiting.

Agree. And add Ohio State to that list as well. Bama basically lost to a terrible Auburn team too.

I think this needs to be drilled home to Malik by the coaches. Make a move or pass quickly. He forces way too many shots into double and triple teams. Our guys need to also let those open looks from 3 fly. We still pass up way too many good looks.

Something's just different about this guy. The staff and roster he has assembled are legit. It's hard not to get excited for this season!

Not just had the ball up 2, but had a 5 on 4 fast break...

These are all good examples. I would also point to CCC's emphasis on transfers that have produced results, not guys with "potential" that didn't pan out somewhere else. The ability to catch the ball or tackle will translate. Playmakers make plays.

With those kind of numbers, he better perform, or he'll get sacked!

I guess this is why they let Dunnam walk?

That kid is a STUD. Our school played them in the state title game last season. He plays like Percy Harvin. I'll be shocked if he doesn't go to Bama, but it's a sad state when you're still shopping after giving your word.
