You tell me you're lonely, I know how you feel Leaning up at the bars, rocking back on my heels She's a wild bird that wanders, too easy to stray I knew she had to lose me to find her own way Oh, Corey, I'll be coming soon Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon

This sounds great and I would be in favor of this, however; I am not a lawyer, but I have serious doubts about whether this would stand up in court. For instance, if I am a college student (non-athlete), am I not allowed to transfer from school to school at will? I would think so. It might slow down my obtaining a degree but as you well know, many of these student athletes don't care all that much about college degrees. Don't get me wrong. I am an Alabama Fan and I started this thread to express my misgivings about the Proctor situation. One would think that a group called the NCAA would possess a certain amount of intelligence but this doesn't seem to be the case. The ever divided US Supreme Court actually ruled 9-0 against them fairly recently. I get the impression that soon the NCAA will not exist.

I assume they can but I can't say for sure. Belecik was a frequent visitor to Tuscaloosa. It is hard for me to imagine Saban (his friend for about 50 years and fellow Croatian) not introducing him to players.

Yes but I heard Coach Ferentz say that he went off with the bulk of the NIL money that Iowa had. It is apparently legal but it does appear to be somewhat sinister. Proctor has all the potential to be great. Tbh he looks more like a dominant RT to me but I could be wrong. As a Bama Fan I just hope the kid has his head on straight.

Jermaine Burton is VERY talented. He would have much better numbers with any of the previous four Alabama QBs. MUCH better. Playing with Milroe at QB makes him tougher to rate and will more than likely cost him in the draft. The only caveat is that he is said to be a bit of a head case. I think that if he has himself together he would be a very, very good target for Josh. Jmo.

Agreed. The good Bama players do keep on coming. The Lions had Williams, Branch, and Gibbs help them get to the Super Bowl. I posted my opinion of this class about a month ago. It isn't their strongest class by any means but there are some very good players there. Dwayne Haskins was pretty good as well. Oh wait, different school. https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4040616/dwayne-haskins

Very true. Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Davonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle all pretty much suck. Oh, and I forgot who led the NFL in passing yards in 2023, and who took the Eagles to the NFC Title and the Superbowl. Those two are also very dicey.

I heard that Cornelius Bennett was OK. They have 2 corners who will almost certainly go in round one.

Stats are pretty good. I like it. Maybe this will make McDermott hesitate to draft a first round safety. Fingers crossed.

Your friends tell you There's no future in lovin' a married man If I can't see you when I want you I'll see you when I can If lovin' you is wrong I don't wanna be right If lovin' you is wrong I don't wanna be right

And I'm not so sure how to feel about this. Last season as an incoming freshman he was a 5 Star and a Top 10 overall recruit. He has unreal strength but weighed in at 360 lbs., perhaps more. He was good, but far from the best Alabama has seen in recent years (although only a freshman). Imo, he needs to lose some weight. He transfered out when Coach Saban announced his retirement and signed with Iowa, his home state. Why he is coming back is not clear. Also, the kids in Tuscaloosa are busting their asses working out. Is he working out in Iowa? Who knows? Why should he? Can he even if he wants to? The portal rules are now screwy. If I am correct they are allowed unlimited transfers. Also, he almost certainly got money to come to Iowa. Does he return it? How does this work? Yeah, I just don't know how I should feel but at this point I am somewhat skeptical. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/iowas-kadyn-proctor-expected-to-re-enter-transfer-portal-return-to-alabama-for-2024-college-football-season/

Have a blessed day!

So true. I've seen folks call for a 1st round safety. Amazing.

Your paragraph above would seem to be a more than sufficent answer to the bolded question, or am I missing something?

Well this job Ive got is just a little too hard, Running out of money, lord, I need more pay. Gonna wake up in the morning lord, gonna pack my bags, I'm gonna beat it on down the line. I'm going down the line, going down the line, Going down the line, going down the line, Going down the line, going down the line, Beat it on down the line.

I was responding to the scenario that the poster raised. My preference is WR, however; top quality OTs are worth their weight in gold, and obviously players get injured. Also Dawkins, a fine LT imo, is huge and will be 30 next month. He would seem to be a pretty decent candidate for an injury. With Josh Allen at qb, protection should be our #1A concern, with 1B being weapons. Now, we can certainly waste another #1 pick on a corner (to play in a zone), an easy to find safety, or a MLB. This is what I expect McDermott (notice that I didn't say Beane) to do. I consider it to be counter productive but this is his history and he even trades up to waste picks (another thing that would fail to shock me). In any event, taking a LT (assuming the top WRs are gone) would be fine with me. Of course, this is jmo.

I called your mama about three or four nights ago I called your mama about three or four nights ago Well your mama said, "Son, don't call my daughter no more" Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I'm spending my money on other women You taking money from someone else

VERY good question. I don't know anything about the OT you named but if he is thought to be a fine LT and is still there, I would say grab him.

Both were excellent periods. The early 90's were great and stayed that way through much, though not all of the decade. In 89, Jerry Garcia was sober, or at least close to it. The Dead concerts in Philly, Buffalo, and the Meadowlands were superb. A case could be made that 1967-1972 changed the entire musical scene.

Wow, I thought she was a Chiefs fan. Did Kelce get traded?

Alex Van Pelt!!! 😮🙂

Well, look where we got Jauron from!!! And for unaware posters, you knew Jauron would suck as a coach and said so almost the very second Levy signed him (Jauron was like his clone in many ways). The two of them had a special team/secondary love fest and ignored OL and QB and yes, some fans defended them.
