I would normally say we have this with Fran, but word is UNC peeps are gonna be spending stupid amount of NIL going forward with BB, like crazy time

If they're going to spend big NIL on kids who haven't played in 2 years out of HS I would let them.

Yep, they gonna spend big on both proven and potential

 

[hoopsupstate]

We’re competing with the Hosley running back too. NC just offered a first team JUCO running back too.

Not in this case.

6-6 358. I wonder if he can snap the ball.

I think he's more of a crackle and pop kind of linemen.

 

[Sdot]

He was 2nd string left tackle at bama behind kadyn proctor, who is one of the best left tackles in the country.

 

[CbusCuse]

He was second string LT all year according to several depth charts I saw. Second team LT at Alabama as a redshirt freshman? I think we definitely want to bring this kid in

Edit: Sdot you just beat me to the same post.

 

[Cusester]

Strictly my opinion, but this is where you should be spending your nil dollars. You don't need a great quarterback or running back if the O line is exceptional. Give an average quarterback a consistently clean pocket and he will make plays.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

This would be an amazing pick up. If he makes it to SU on the 21st, I wouldn't bet against Fran et al reeling him in.

 

[ImperialOrange]

Any relation to Timothy?

Yes I know... spelled different but still

 

[ImperialOrange]

Looks like these Bama players are seeking legitimate playoff contenders for next season

I strongly disagree with this.

A great quarterback covers a multitude of shortcomings.

your insight was just as good brotha…hopefully we can get him gonna be tough.

Totally agree, the old adage is true: if you have a quarterback you have a chance. The most important position in all of sports. This is exactly where you spend NIL, whether bringing in a starter or retaining one

I’m a chiefs fan since I was a kid and having to watch Mahomes makes plays this year, when his offensive line isn’t blocking is still insane to see.

This either/or mentality is irritating to me. How about we have a great QB with a great OL? How 'bout that for something to aspire to?
