Nick Saban Is an Evil Wizard

I.E. Nutrition, I thought John Ivy worked in very close capacity with our programs?

Cant fault Bama, if so I wish we would do more of the same. But basically I dont need to scout Julio Jones for two years to figure out the guy is worth taking. He was a five star and so was Trent Richardson. In the end they probaly offer Rivals 100 players just like everyone else does. Saben is consumed by football where as Mack has a life outside of it. Probaly a reason why we donate more than Alabama does. Cant have it both ways I guess?

I lost all respect for you when you named your newborn son Greg Davis DFL.

Isn’t our former running backs coach (Ken Rucker) currently an adviser / nanny to the football team? I think we were one of the first schools to do that, which I find to be a good idea (McGee notwithstanding). You have another coach on the payroll who works with the football players and doesn’t count against the number of “real” coaches.

OU may still have an offer for Brown, but they effectively ended their chances of getting him when they accepted Brandon Williams’ commitment. I fear TCU about as much as I do Baylor. Quick, name the last 5-star recruit to sign with a mid-major.

IMO, the only real competition left for Brown is ourselves. If we can somehow manage to avoid stepping on our dick for another 10 months, we’ll have our RB. Easier said than done, when you run the ball like we do.

Good to see you back.
 
That’s a big advantage for Bama. Smart, evil. Very Saban. Yet we can’t have Muschamp recruiting (with one year grace period) because he’s a coach in waiting. God and the NCAA mock us.
 
Malcolm Brown may still have an offer for OU, but the Sooners aren’t going to double up with the best RBs in the state.
 
Mysterious –
 
The recruiting breakdown is an advantage. Rivals identifies talent some, but they’re also reliant on offer lists to guide them. Alabama competes in a much more cutthroat recruiting environment than we do, so getting early ID on sophomores and juniors is big.
 
It’s also a form of quality control as much as identifying some diamond in the rough.

Per the recruiting news: your boy G. Hamilton tweeted today that Bama is going hard after the Klein Oak triumvirate of Stevenson, Hughes, and DE Jon Lewis. I’ve never heard of Lewis, but apparently he doesn’t suck. If they’re going to leave the state, hopefully it’s not in conference.

Stevenson might turn out to be a miss by the staff. I’ll be comparing him to McFarland.

Also, apparently LSU is higher on Nathan Hughes then they are on Cedric Reed. I thought that was interesting.

Reed seems likely to grow in to a DT. Could be why programs would covet Hughes over Reed. Both will be good players in my opinion.

I see Hughes as a pure 3-4 DE.
 
Max Stevenson hasn’t played in an offense that uses his talents, but he’s a 6-5/6-6 220 pound kid that can really run. Shirt him, stick him in a weight room, and spit him out at 250. If he has hands, you’re talking about a future Todd Heap type.

I don’t think John Ivy works with the football team. He has worked with Eddie Reese in the past, and possibly our track team IIRC, but I never heard of him doing stuff with football when I was there for grad school.

But either he or Ed Coyle should be doing at least some advising. I know Todd Wright has used the most current sport nutrition info available his entire time at Texas.

Hughes and Stevenson are examples of how one school cannot get all of the great players in Texas. There are just way too many, and that’s a good thing. They have the potential to be really great players and Bama is smart for going for all 3 of them. Looking at our commitments, it’s really a smart move by them. I think we will be facing Bama some more in the near future.

Fuck Nick Saban in his douche bag, unsmiling face. Can you imagine going to the football field and constantly have to see that sour puss of his? Jesus Christ. It’s a good thing he’s coaching in HickTown USA where they put up with that shit. What exactly does Alabama half, besides mobile home and rednecks? Jesus, what a shithole of a State.

Bama has everything you could ever want in a football program.

As for the Klein Oaks kids and the available talent, it makes me realize that as soon as we stumble in recruiting for two years in a row, we will fall back into that same hole it took us more than a decade to climb out of despite going thru 3 coaching changes.

They half a BCS trophy.

“if Green’s Dad and Uncle won’t let Russell go to UT, do you really think they will let
Green?”

Agree, CTJ. Also, word in SA is that Alabama is really going hard for Brown.

Alabama is not getting Malcom Brown.

i’m not sure that Texas skimps on anything. and just because Texas isn’t doing what ‘bama is doing doesn’t make us stubborn, or dumb, or whatever. if ‘bama is the only school doing it, then they’re the only school doing it. the other 119 don’t. besides, you can still only practice twenty hours a week. it comes down to execution and heart. always has. always will.

False. A whole shit-ton of it comes down to talent.

Execution and heart over talent!?!??!?!?

RAOFLMAO !!!!

besides, you can still only practice twenty hours a week. it comes down to execution and heart. always has. always will.
 
So it’s not preferable to have six months to study for an exam vs. one week?
 
Execution and heart? Well then, here’s my 2010 Top 3:
 
1. Navy
2. Army
3. Air Force

As for the Klein Oaks kids and the available talent, it makes me realize that as soon as we stumble in recruiting for two years in a row, we will fall back into that same hole it took us more than a decade to climb out of despite going thru 3 coaching changes.

 
Uh, no. That pretty much tells you the opposite. And we have comparatively stumbled in recruiting under Brown and it’s resulted in disasters like…10-3. Gasp.

Thats an understatement.
