Alabama ...Shame on you for not getting this kid signed immediately and allowing him to go this long without signing anything. I was confident in this staff until this new and now I'm questioning everything.

 

[Justneedme81]

Hey I been drinking ... I'm sure I'll apologize in the morning.

 

[TideatMileHigh]

Hey I been drinking white claws ... I'm sure I'll apologize in the morning.

My man...

 

[bamafan9201]

Rumors floating that if Smothers does go to Texas that Bama would end up with Raleek Brown instead, Smothers posted his Bama commitment picture again...gonna just let the dust settle on this.

I will say, if I'm the staff, I use this as a lesson. Nothing matters until the name is signed on the line, don't settle for a "commitment" push for a signing now.

 

[Slickmullet]

Man, this staff seems like some total goobers sometimes . How is he not signed already? Our run game was atrocious last year and there has been 0 help brought in for the o-line so far.

 

[Bamaclam]

I once fudged on my resume and said I was efficient with Excel. Got called out on it a year into the job when given as assignment. LOL

They probably wanted proficient but used the wrong word. LOL.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

They better have Smothers' recruiter get on the job and have his ass fix this situation, snuff out the rumors and avoid a choke job.

 

[Bamaclam]

My man...

Get the Kirklands brand at Costco . They are half the price and just as good according to my wife.

 

[bamafan9201]

Also this is a master class chess move by Texas last night...I thought about this going to bed..

Who is on campus during this crazy decommit/visit news? Cam Coleman who Texas wants and they're probably the most likely candidate besides Bama so they pull this stunt because Bama didn't get him to sign. I gotta give them some props here. Even if we save Smothers now, we look worse to Coleman and may lose him

Think about what you are saying here.

Would you rather have a situation like that which happened with Ross at LSU where you had the staff telling a kid, "take or leave it." The guy who takes it? That isn't going to be the one you rely on in November.

This kid is making a decision that impacts his life from now until the day he dies. He chooses not to sign because he hasn't made up his mind. But, the staff are "total goobers" because they didn't pressure him into doing something he wasn't sure about?

He's not signed already because he doesn't want to sign yet.

You made a similar comment about the offensive line the other day. Tell me who is a part of the offensive line when spring camp starts.

Is the humidity really high as of late in your area? I ask because the slick mullet looks like a bad perm on a humid day; frizzled.

#sextonseason

We have a decent grasp on a lot in coaching searches and hires based on what we know about guys like Jimmy Sexton. Experience has taught us a few of the ins and out's of their game.

Fortunately, some of these players have the same agents. It doesn't keep them from getting their ass in a sling. Williams at UW has the same agent as CJF and look what he and his advisor tried to pull with LSU.

I say that to say this.

We don't know a lot of the advisors and agents who are running the game now. For all we know, the rumors Tim speaks of that need to be quelled could be coming from Smothers agent; or some advisor in the background.

You just never can tell where the strings are or who is pulling them.

 

[#80]

These guys are free agents and have options so you have to expect them to be weighed.

I humbly come here to ask everyone for forgiveness. The Bama standard liquor had me messed up last night. I said lot of bad things about the coaching staff. Please take me back and I promise to be semi good with y'all.

[footballer]

I think I need to invest in a neck brace. Avoid the whiplash of so much back and forth of player movement.
