As well as an inside look at Bama's recruiting evaluations, etc.
I've read that this was an attempt by the city to take the property without using eminent domain, and having to pay fair market value for it. I don't know if that's the really the case.
The framers of the Constitution weren't anticipating crimes such as this when they included "no cruel or unusual punishment".

Yeah, I was looking at our transfers just now, and figured he's the most likely candidate. He looks imposing.

And this an endorsement? That the worthless rabble-rouser honed his oratory skills there?
His high school highlights looked impressive. Wonder why his college stats are so low?

How do obese people wipe their azz?


Typically, with toilet paper. Although, one at our hunting club used a charcoal sack once when he got locked out of the club after the morning hunt.True story.
We kidded him about that incident for quite a while.
I saw there's a RB from Gardner Webb in the portal. Carson Gresock. He had 1000 yds rushing, and averaged 5.5 yds per carry. 5'11" 215 lbs. I wonder if he got a look from Bama? Seems like the type of small school talent we would be targeting.

I believe Crowell is that guy, but he will only be 17 years old in the Spring. 


I don't think that's the case. I've read he was held back a grade in elementary school, so reclassifying actually just got him back in sync with his original class.

Because he was Boned in the USA.

But, why? What implications?


I didn't read the full article since I have no desire to sign up to the Long Island Press. I suspect they're referring to the added stress that will be placed on the health care system. Blacks and Hispanics have greater complications related to maternal health than Whites. They also tend to have more children than Whites.

Yep. I assume Huff but that’s only speculation based on what I hear in radio.


That's the obvious choice. Message board speculation has also mentioned Brandon Jones (Missouri OL coach), Matt Luke, and the Iowa OL coach (George Barnett).
If Golding was really stupid enough as alleged to directly text the player instead of going through an agent or other contact, it's a pretty clear violation.

Alright. What sponsor do we want on our uniforms for NIL?


The most profitable ones, it's the only logical choice. If it's allowed by the rules, we've got to play the same game as everyone else, or fall into irrelevance.

In the case of Smothers he wasn’t an unknown. He led the ACC in rushing YPG


I was thinking more about Ian Duarte. But would Texas have offered Smothers if we hadn't? I think it confirmed what they thought about him when he committed to us.

2 sacks for Proctor sounds way low



Yeah, I don't know how it is that low but I also have trouble thinking of a game where he got owned constantly.


How many pressures did he allow, though? Ty had to run for his life pretty often, and the plays were disrupted. Sometimes Proctor's man didn't get the sack, but he set someone else up to make it.

Possibly, but in the short run, teams will use it as a tool. Especially if they're in your own conference. It's a win win for them, they get a good prospect, and deny their rival a prospect they need.
Good evaluations are important, but there is a limit. Other teams with a bigger pocketbook (or greater need at that position) can just watch who you offer, and swoop in to snap them up. They use your evaluator as theirs, essentially. It's already happening this portal cycle.
