A lot of smoke that FSU (and Clemson) may have unlocked the ACC grant of rights
Posted by Amarillo Tide on 5/2/24 at 3:05 pm
I watch a lot of You Tube college football related stuff and seems like everyday there’s something about FSU’s current court case to get out of the ACC grant of rights.
They seem to think their chances are good. I wonder if all that’s wishful thinking though. If it DOES work out, you can guarante...

Love the guy’s quickness and that he doesn’t give up on the play. I can see why he’d get an offer....

We have zero depth at corner and yeah, we could start a true freshman at corner but that’s a big risk. Apparently the staff agrees we need at least one more CB, so there’s that....

As far as Pritchett, if he was arrested, it was probably more than just a few miles over the speed limit. I know in some states, if you’re doing 20 or more mph above the speed limit, you can be arrested.
I have no idea how fast he was driving but if he was doing 80 mph down the strip (even at 4:0...

I don’t claim to have any “inside” information, just my gut instinct. So many of these kids (especially skill set players) come in and expect to start from Day One. Some of those type guys can’t take the bruised ego that they’re not quite ready.
I still contend that some of these guys (not all, b...
What SEC coaches are on the hot seat this season?
Posted by Amarillo Tide on 4/29/24 at 4:08 pm
My guesses:
Sam Pittman-Arkansas-I think Sam is a pretty good coach and a decent man but unless they make it to a bowl game, he’s out.
Billy Napier-Florida-I think it’s do or die for “Sunbelt Billy”. If they don’t make it to a bowl, I think he’s out.
Anybody else?...

Hopefully he’s a diamond in the rough. There were a number of highly regarded DBs out there in the portal from P-5 schools, so this one is a bit of a head scratcher....

I would have thought they would want someone from a Power 5 school. There were a number of pretty good ones out there, so this is a head scratcher....

Pretty safe bet CKD has a better eye for talent than any of us do. People forget, Coach Saban signed some guys that “the experts” (sarcasm) didn’t know or didn’t think much of. Josh Jacobs is one that comes to mind....

All these LBs being signed kind of reminds me of one of Coach Bryant’s early recruiting classes (1964?) when you could sign some crazy number of players each class (90?), something like 40 out of 90 had played fullback (?!?!). Of course, most switched positions at Bama but that’s a weird stat....

Not the clear leader? Uh, yeah, he was. Brailsford didn’t even play and for all we know, he may never play again. I find it a little hard to believe that Brailsford was “guaranteed” the starting job over Brockermeyer when Brailsford has practiced very little.
Hell, true freshman Joseph Ionata may...

I don’t understand Bama pursuing such a mediocre safety like Ed Woods from Arizona State. I guess CKD sees something but to the casual observer, pursuing this guy is a head scratcher when there are more talented DBs out there....

I’m sure there is a method to the madness but I gotta admit, I’m a bit confused why Bama is going nuts with all the LB commits. ...

McClain is a 24K head case and not worth the trouble. HOWEVER, I guarantee you some school will roll the dice by signing him, hoping he “keeps it together” long enough to produce on the field for 1-2 years before he does something crazy like robs a bank and gets caught selling crack to 5 year olds. ...

I’d seen video of him in HS (played for a small private school, can’t remember the name) and while the competition wasn’t that great, he was clearly a pretty good player.
He could probably thrive at a school like Samford or Western Carolina or maybe the Division II level....
