Remember, talent evaluation isn’t a perfect science. Even for the professionals. I trust the kids who want to play for the purple and gold.




Also, still have PTSD from this.

5/5 was a rough arse period.

I remember the rumor of Saban going to Texas and bring LF7 with him well

Looks like Willis is a member of the Orlando Guardians for the upcoming XFL season, and Noil is just living in New Orleans per his Twitter last two new articles on him are for a 2 td game in the Indoor Football League in 2021 and an arrest for assault in 2019.

Maybe he beat up his uncle for making him go to A&M

If I remember correctly Willis got kicked off the Florida team his freshman year. We dodged a bullet with him.

No early signing day back then. Except Cam Rob I think Les and team were still courting Speedy and Hootie and Willis. So much drama on the morning of NSD back then compared to now!

Looking back, 5/5 was one of the greatest melts.

Joe McKnight, Gunner Keil, and Landon Collins were way worse.

The Bash atmosphere took a huge hit. Lots of FU were tossed around. It was basically a morgue after that live signing announcement.
