That's what I am saying.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.
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?". If Miami is good I get the pitch. Win here and have fun, win there and it ends after Saturday. But we suck.
The other thing is, who are you going to attract with that pitch? Guys who want to party and probably aren't serious. Which is the teams we were fielding.
The only thing you can do to s*** on Alabama is discuss immediate playing time. It ends there.
My brother’s the same, it’s annoying. He entered an international risk tournament last year because he thought it would be funny, then won. Then he entered the international Excel championships to be funny and finished 7th. He’s always just been naturally good at picking things up.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.
Sayin posted a video making fun of a Rumph speech after he committed to Bama. Can’t remember what he said exactly, but I guess he was right.What is the Rumph connection regarding this? Can't decipher much from an Eddie Murphy gif
There's a video, that goes as follows:What is the Rumph connection regarding this? Can't decipher much from an Eddie Murphy gif
I wonder if this would have gone a different way (Miami going all out for him) if this were a Spring Portal event, rather than winter.They liked him. They worked him pretty hard during the last cycle and some thought he’d eventually flip. I never bought it lol . I don’t expect them to pursue him now though.
This is the reality side of NIL. This is the part I believe that will reel this thing back in from getting too far out of handWhy would he? Lol. This has now become a business; these Student Athletes & everyone who supported this new form of payment wanted these kids to be treated like employees, well….

Mistake not to go after an elite kid if you have a shot. And I love Nickel.
I agree with you on the personality fit, but I highly doubt he’s gonna get run over by the refs and other coaches when he’s been coach of the year and made a National Championship final.All good, sir. I just don't think the cultural fit will work out - interacting with the boosters, keeping the boosters in line, recruiting blue-chippers in the south, fund-raising, etc. Remember what Slingblade Billy did immediately at Florida, he refused to honor the commitments, he forced all the recruits to resubmit video to him for evaluation, and he ran off the QB commit that Mullet left him.
I don't know, sometimes these know-it-alls come to a big SEC school and immediately dig a hole for themselves.
The thing that concerns me with Deboer is not his basic coaching ability. It's the fact that he BARELY has any P5 experience. He is going to be run over by alums, other coaches, the refs, just about anyone/everyone associated with the SEC. He might be a great teacher and builder of men, but I don't think he has the gravitas to be the Alabama coach. Bear did. Gene Stallings did. And Nick did.
Just about nobody else at Alabama has had that same powerful presence for the last 75 years. Three success stories, and a bunch of failures.
It was something like "who wants to hang out in Tuscaloosa" and the kid rolled his eyes, and this earth-shattering event caught fire online because people really don't have lives.Sayin posted a video making fun of a Rumph speech after he committed to Bama.
