So Air Noland just gonna stay there and get recruited over in the same class or is he gonna transfer in the spring?
I would bet, 95 percent of Bama players didn’t know who DeBoer was until maybe November this year.Was listening to a great podcast that was fair & objective.
That’s exactly what the host said. He said Bama fans need to understand this is not a DeBoer issue, this is a brand issue. He said the brand is Saban, & these kids didn’t commit to Bama, they committed to him.
DeBoer has no prior relationship w/ most of these kids entering the portal, & many haven’t been at Bama long enough to feel an obligation to the school vs. coming to play for Nick. As much of a fan I am of Kalen, the fact is to these kids relationships matter, & a lot of these kids were recruited for a minute by coaches who they’ll most likely transfer to.
Also, to be frank, which I never thought about, DeBoer is still a relative unknown b/c he’s been a mercenary on the West Coast. A lot of these kids are in time zones where they’re not interested in PAC-12 after dark, or their games weren’t televised. Nor can he, at this point, name drop a bevy of draft picks under his name b/c he’s bounced around. Nick can **** near turn on the TV and point to all the guys in the NFL under his tutelage.
DeBoer is going to have to start at ground zero in essence.
Facts @Memnon already know the 5 year old OCs running new futuristic conceptsI would bet, 95 percent of Bama players didn’t know who DeBoer was until maybe November this year.
**** I follow this sport religiously and I didn’t know who he was until October this year. We all can’t be @Memnon lol
It's a mistake to go after him cause why waste funds when you don't even know if he'll be good, he's only 6 feet, and we need to win now!**Mistake not to go after an elite kid if you have a shot. And I love Nickel.
Unless Nickel EE's this Dec, he won't see the field for another 2 years barring he's the next Drake Maye. Would make sense to at least kick the tires on Sayin to have somebody to battle Poff and Emory for the 25 season.Mistake not to go after an elite kid if you have a shot. And I love Nickel.

I have better things to do than read 20+ pages of a high school qb that has no association to Miami lol. Those are also just rumors and speculations
True. Probably more linked to O'Brien preferring Sayin to Noland than "recruiting over him." Bidness is bidness, after all.Not necessarily recruited over. They are creating competition and one will beat out the other.

Got to give him credit man dude knows his ****, I’m amazed by how much his brain can contain pause dudes gifted
Lane hit the portal “hard” huh? (BIG PAUSE)! @Dwinstitles u been getting outta line lately! Well Scott wanna holla at ya!I won’t lie Lane hit the portal hard and got a lot of the goods. Surprised asf cause his HS recruiting is not great but the transfers were great. He may make noise I just don’t see them beating UGA. Yea and Bama is done. Lanning was Mario’s choice for DC here wasn’t he?
I wouldn't bet on it. At least not right away. Unless they were willing to release him from his NLI. The spring is probably a safer time to transfer once scholarships start to open back up across the country.True. Probably more linked to O'Brien preferring Sayin to Noland than "recruiting over him." Bidness is bidness, after all.
That said, if you're Noland, wouldn't you just tell OSU to kick rocks with their competition? It's understood that they will try and bring in a guy behind you. Perhaps even a 1-year rental who has already proven himself ahead of you, but to bring in a comparably rated guy in the same year as you, simply because that kid becomes available one month later, is low down.
This was probably already discussed. But I don't think Rumph's pitch was "it's lit here on Wednesdays" as much as it was the old "40-year vs 4-year" decision. I didn't hear the entire speech though.I always thought the pitch was weird from Rumph. You start at QB at Alabama and you're likely going to the NFL. The counter pitch shouldn't be, "but what are you going to do on a Tuesday night?".
The only thing you can do to s*** on Alabama is discuss immediate playing time. It ends there.
Y’all bettaYeah, bro be spot on crazy often, w/ crazy memory. I need to take him to Vegas so we can start counting cards on Black Jack! Just gotta make sure we get out ASAP
I wish I had a sponge like that fam dead ***. Dude could just get into something and be real good at it. My big brother like that, that ***** can explain star matters and planet details all this crazy ****. I just listen and be amazed.Yeah, bro be spot on crazy often, w/ crazy memory.
