Nick Monroe is an ace.Monroe got this commitment the day after White took the Nebraska job.
Let's try and get him through one season first.since he has not really played a snap at all the issue becomes if he was medically ruled out by Ala then a medical waiver would seem automatic.
if he was hurt the first year as well he could get 3 or 4 yrs since now in yr 4 he will have played 4 games over 3 yrs.
Rooks is in portal ??? Man I always felt that kid was meant to be OrangeHopefully joined by Rooks
Does this kid fit into the defense White established?...Babers would not be dumb enough to hire a D-coordinator who is not committed to running the defense White so expertly installed, would he?...Hmmm, maybe I am giving Babers too much credit here?Another great get by Nick.
I think this kid would fit any D as long as hes healthy.Does this kid fit into the defense White established?...Babers would not be dumb enough to hire a D-coordinator who is not committed to running the defense White so expertly installed, would he?...Hmmm, maybe I am giving Babers too much credit here?
CA Monk's late night palliative...to be taken with a grain of salt and a shot of bourbon:I was blown away to see news break of landing a Bama DT from portal. He may be the biggest transfer we’ve ever gotten. Ever.
But then I read he was “medically retired” and now I’m worried it’s only a matter of time before he gets medically DQ’d here too.
Someone make me feel better please.

I would hope /think that if we hang onto the other D coaches, we'd run the same defense and not start from scratch. I'm really liking the down people we have now. The relative newbies like Jobity, Geer and those injured, look to have great potential.Does this kid fit into the defense White established?...Babers would not be dumb enough to hire a D-coordinator who is not committed to running the defense White so expertly installed, would he?...Hmmm, maybe I am giving Babers too much credit here?
Curious if he'll be a 3 down snap guy or a 2?

I'm sure he might but at Syracuse...our track record for getting them is not the best lolAny chance he gets a medical redshirt to regain a little more eligibility?

While I can't deny the potential of this concern, and even if cleared, being asked to clog the middle against the run (or stunt to shoot the gap if that's how the 3-3-5 gods would prefer me to word it) with two rebuild knees is not the best starting point, I believe the DQ is more a means to an end on the part of Bama to free the scholly from the cap. They continued to pay his tuition, and probably allowed him some access to rehab, but didn't have him on the team counting against the 85 max. Lets face it, at Bama, a player rehabbing a major injury is standing in the way of the next 5-star DT or even 4-star walk on getting that scholarship. I assume if they wanted, they could have re-qualified him and given him a "fresh" scholarship if they felt he was in a position to contribute, but they saw a full roster of 4-5 star players without that injury history as a better scenario for them and for him (allowing him to move on).I was blown away to see news break of landing a Bama DT from portal.

Yep, and fortunately for us these young people, with proper rehab over time, come back strong and ready to roll...hopefully that's the case with him tooWhile I can't deny the potential of this concern, and even if cleared, being asked to clog the middle against the run (or stunt to shoot the gap if that's how the 3-3-5 gods would prefer me to word it) with two rebuild knees is not the best starting point, I believe the DQ is more a means to an end on the part of Bama to free the scholly from the cap.

Damn. Only 13? It’ll make winning the National Championship a bit tougher if we don’t have him for the CFP.The kid could very well play 13 games for Syracuse next year, he will be 2 years past the injury by the time he takes the field for Syracuse. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think the knees should be fine, whether he is a big contributor here, who knows? But well worth taking a shot with him and if he does stay healthy could get a ton of snaps at DT.
He certainly is the type of DT that many have been looking for and Alabama isn't going to hold a roster spot for 2 years for guys, they medically DQ'ed, I am sure so they could keep his scholarship, graduate, rehab properly and move on. Everybody wins and saves face. How it works at the factories but certainly not a bad ending, kid made the best of a bad situation and I am hoping he can revive his career here at Syracuse because the opportunity is there. Win, lose or draw he should have a master's degree when he leaves here, not too shabby
