Man, Sampson is gonna be something.

Rucker looks like a damn bullet and his best 100m was 10.76.

Edit: Just watched his hudl videos...Sampson has **** your angle kind of speed. If he stays healthy he could do some things, especially in the return game.

So Jaylen Wright ran 22.3 mph in practice once he got here. And he claims he's been timed at 4.28 in the 40.

Jaylen's fastest 100m time is 10.85 (that's nearly 0.4 slower than Sampson).

And the 60m translates more to the 40 time than the 100m speed. So a guy with 10.48 100m and a 6.9 60m (indoors = harder) is very easily going to be a 4.3 40 type guy. Like Sampson's speed is potential "record breaking NFL combine" speed already...straight outta HS.

Nick Saban brought to tears after Kick Six among details on Alabama coach handling tough losses in new book

On Nov. 30, 2013, Alabama coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide were on the wrong end of one of the most famous college football plays of all time. The Iron Bowl was tied at 28 with 1 second left -- a second that Saban had lobbied for and received after review confirmed that running back T.J. Yeldon stepped out of bounds before the clock hit triple zeros. On the final play of regulation, Adam Griffith's 57-yard field goal attempt fell short and into the hands of Auburn defensive back Chris Davis. Davis scampered down the left sideline as time expired to give Auburn the 34-28 win, the SEC West title and bring an end to Alabama's quest to three-peat as BCS national champions.
Saban's response was stoic as he walked off the field. It was as if he was in as much shock as the 87,451 fans packed into Jordan-Hare Stadium. Those emotions boiled over into tears in the locker room, according to "The Leadership Secrets of Nick Saban," a new book by AL.com senior sports editor John Talty released on Tuesday.
"You walk in and everyone is crying. Fifty percent crying and 50 percent tearing up," former Alabama running back and kick returner Christion Jones says in the book. "Coach Saban was in tears -- he could barely talk. His face was red. Everyone was emotional; it was a funeral moment."

I want to make Saban cry.

Also, a lesson in leadership:
Saban's first year at Alabama in 2007, a season in which they lost 21-14 to lowly ULM. According to the book, an unnamed defensive leader stood up in the locker room and unleashed a profanity-laced tirade about the lack of focus, taking the Warhawks lightly, slacking in the film room and staying out too late during game week.

That wasn't good enough for Saban, however.
"That's a great speech," he said in the locker room, "but it was about three days too late. You should have had the courage to say that on Tuesday or Wednesday when you saw this going on. Anybody can say it after the fact."
The Tide lost the final game of the regular season, but then reeled off 13 straight wins to establish the foundation of the Alabama dynasty.
"When stuff was out of line, it was getting addressed right then," Antoine Caldwell, a team captain in 20008, said in the book. "There was no more after the fact or let things slide; we were addressing things immediately. And it makes a world of difference. When you draw a line in the sand, it permeates through the team."

I wish he would have gone to any other program.

I honestly can’t even listen to those guys because of the one guy that constantly interrupts Kyler.

I try to listen, but watching a home video of someone checking their hair in the camera and eating pasta just gets too much. At least act like you're treating it like more than a personal skype session.

And the problem is that they have a small group of commenters that create an echo chamber about how much they like it, so the lack of quality production will continue and they'll never grow past the echo chamber. Sucks for Kyler because I really like him and enjoy his takes.

If he’d just ditch Reed for a real cohost or or at least edit out when Reed shouts at his dog, sister or mom, it’d be a drastic improvement
