My little crazy, VERY seriously ball motivated girl..

This is her ball
There are many like it but this one is hers
This ball is her best friend, it is her life
She must master this ball,
as she must master her life
Her ball without her, is useless
With out her ball, she is useless
She must chase her ball true
She must chase straighter than the family
who is trying to play with her
She must keep the ball before they keep it...She will

We always stay with Sandals. Just easier for us doing all inclusive. Plus, we can visit different resorts on different islands.

Yeah, my uncle's place is really roughing it. Very little in the form of restaurants and grocery stores. To eat you have to catch it. Not hard though. In about an hour you can have a week's worth. Fish, conch, lobster.

You would think the AD would atleast make a statement publicly that they’re keeping Pruitt so it helps players that are thinking about transferring make their decision right?

That’s the puzzling part. Why is there no public statement? Unless they are waiting until after NSD.

To tell you the truth I don't see how it would be much different than it is now.

I mean how many players does Bama want... That want to be at Bama... That they don't have?

The best players play for the same handful of schools already. On top of that, I think playing time, coaching relationships, etc carry more weight than just the possibility of getting a ring.

I just don't see any evidence that the best players at mid tier schools would leave at the drop of a hat given the chance. I certainly wouldn't assume that.

Just an example: a freshman QB chooses to go to a midtier SEC team and tears it up...but the team is awful and they go 5-7. UF QB goes to the nfl and is loaded with weapons the coming season. Currently, there's no reason for him to even attempt to transfer to UF, sitting a year is 99% certain. With the potential new rule and the SEC possibly going with it, the kid could definitely transfer at any point after his 1st year.

There's also the issue of having to constantly re-recruit your own players and other schools constantly trying to recruit your players from you, especially runner-ups from the original recruitment. The coaches can't, but using players to recruit other players is completely legal and will become a huge thing.

People call this "free agency". Even the pros can sign rookies for 2-3 years. In reality, this is even worse imo. Once a good player is done with year 1, they'll be flooded with other schools recruiting them...bagmen 2nd round...etc.

I shouldn't even call it Chaney's offense. I have no idea. I don't really like Chaney, but let's be honest. Does this offense feel any different than Helton's? We aren't taking snaps under center any more. Other than that, if they swapped Helton for Chaney and didn't tell anyone, I don't even know if anyone would notice.

Respectfully disagree. Helton was a lot of run, run, PA pass deep or at the sticks.

Chaney, at least this year, tried more 11 personnel, some spread concepts. Unfortunately, he had near zero use of PA, motion, rpos, basically ANYTHING to help the offense. Also more complex...which is why every postgame the excuse was "execution"...lol. His offense needs near perfect recall & execution just to be average, unless he has an "abundance of talent".

This is only going to be good for the top 6 or 7 teams needing good players at certain positions. They should have kept the rule where it was one year for everyone. Now we're going to have Wanyas all over Twitter trying to get fans all excited.

Situations vary. He was essentially handed the keys to a Porsche that was already headed toward the top at Oregon and managed to keep it going in that direction without wrecking. That got him more opportunities, which have not panned out for him. I’ll admit, I wanted Kelly for UT when Jones was out, but I was wrong. I may also be wrong about Osovet and I actually hope that I am, but that doesn’t change the fact 99% of the people that wouldn’t mind seeing him take over as OC are basing it solely on a video tutorial.

Just sayin there are great coaching minds that have had to wait longer for their opportunity. As for the tutorial? Simple fellas like myself get themselves impressed when someone explains a complex subject and we delude ourselves into believing we understood it. When NFL personnel nerds have QBs break down plays on a chalkboard, maybe they’re going for the same dynamic? Lot of good options. Believe the dude on the video knows what he’s drawing up or think that Larry Scott could fake it.

With a new QB, Center, replacing Trey, replacing Palmer and BJ, still lacking solid TEs, limited proven LT/RT, poor pass pro at RB, etc?

I mean it's not much to ask, but this staff makes everything seem like a massive struggle too. If we had an OC that could do more with less, I'd say for sure. With this guy, we need tons of talent and experience.

With all current staff/players, I'm going to guess we improve by 4 ppg and average 25 ppg. Being optimistic. That would be good for 95th most years.

It's in flux. Technically, we have two open positions, two expiring contracts not yet renewed and several guys who're looking around. They wanted to add a defensive guy, and they've done that. How they shuffle and backfill the rest and how that will impact the offensive scheme, IDK.
Click to expand...
So we have a lame duck coach, 4 or more position coach hires to make and we didn't make a change at head coach. Also probably going to keep the same abysmal offense along with one of the worst defenses we have ever had. Our "star studed" offensive line is no more.

How is this competence?
