Why can't the kid just "quit" football, graduate, then enroll at Georgia? If he quits football at Alabama Nick Saban has no say in where he goes to get his masters and just so happens to start playing football again.

His eligibility doesn't end when he "quits". It ends when he exhausts that eligibility. And you have to be eligible to PLAY for another team. Your proposal doesn't work.

Except for throwing his stuff in the trash, after reading the article.

Tell him to clear his stuff immediately, and then I have no issue

I agree. Throwing away pictures he had of himself with his deceased former teammate seems a little overboard. If you're gonna clear out his stuff, at least put it in a box for him or something instead of indiscriminantly throwing it all in the trash.

Brandon Johnson is smooth looking WR... Especially for a freshman.. That group as a whole should be much improved

Yes he and Callaway look like classic WRs. Johnson runs routes similar to Chad for sure. I'm excited about them as a group. Preston is sure the Alpha there though and looks elite.

I doubt it. Players held Barnett all last year don't think this year will be different.

What happens when we actually blitz off Barnett side to neutralize that BS? I can guarantee you Shoop will use Barnett to free blitzes up. He'll also move him around too. Plus the rest of the line will eat this year. Might as well enjoy the show! 😁

Felony possession of stolen gun... "You are family"


Wants to transfer... "GTFO and trash his stuff"

Exactly. I am amazed at people that do not see the hypocrisy of little Napoleon in just about everything he does. Especially UT fans on here. Add in it's OK to let a guy transfer to Mizzou - they are bad. Go to UGA - not a chance.

That's a luxury that NCAA coaches have, under the scholarship restrictions

I mean, he wants to transfer in conference. You'd be hard pressed to find a coach who allows that
Click to expand...

Just means he has talent or wants to go to a talented team.

With Saban allowing Chris black to go to Missouri, the conference part isn't the actual issue.

Someone that really stands out to me so far on the practice field has been Justin Martin. I had to double check who that tall lanky cornerback was on our team. Dude looks legit.

I know not everyone goes to the FF, this is from the practice thread.

I'm working with Daniel Lewis and Rocky Top Insider this fall camp. I have been making the practice videos as well as shooting and filming. First off, it's been a blast being out there. It's like a dream come true. Being able to see my favorite team all time up close.

Anyways, here's some of my observations from what I've seen at practice the last 3 days.

-My list of absolute freaks: Kongbo, McKenzie, Hurd, Byrd, Evan Berry, Gaulden, Vereen, Barnett, Phillips

-Byrd, Callaway, and Brandon Johnson are looking very good so far in terms of newcomers. Byrd is also practicing some kickoffs and he's just as explosive, if not more, than Berry. Callaway isn't the fastest receiver, but his hands, hops, and hair may be the best on the entire team. Brandon Johnson is catching almost every single ball thrown to him no matter what. Also, Preston and Jauan are having solid practices. Preston made a very nice grab the first day and had a few good ones out of the air on a crossing route today.

-Kongbo, McKenzie, and Barnett are going to eat up offensive lines this year. I don't think I've ever seen a more physically built man than Kongbo. He's got the upper body of a strong D-lineman and the legs of a good linebacker. McKenzie has slimmed down and he's definitely a few steps quicker. Barnett is plowing through guys. Also, it's worth noting Kyle Phillips had 2 sacks the last 2 practices (that's according to Shoop). The entire defensive line is just built like beasts. Very intimidating to say the least.

-Ryan Johnson in the O-line will be nasty. Marcus Tatum has to get more aggressive but he looks like he's gonna be a good one.

-Trevor Daniel boomed a moonshot very close to the very corner edge of the 1 yd line to Callaway who showed great athleticism by catching the ball while turned around.

-Dobbs has more velocity on his throws. Guarantano is turning heads and will be the future of this program. Nice throwing motion; seems to know where to place the ball.

-Bob Shoop and Mike DeBord have to be two of the smartest minds in the game in their positions. Dead serious. I've been able to hear them on the field and their football IQs are out of the roof. I don't expect Shoop to be here long, as I think bigger teams (possibly even NFL) may come calling. The man is absolutely brilliant. Players are listening to him intently and they seem to respect him. Also, Coach Martinez is hilarious and scary at the same time.

Not surprising. When you quit your job, they don't let you keep your desk and cubicle. You can't keep coming in to the office to hang out, etc.

Sure, Saban could have been a nice guy, but we all know how he does things, and it's just like the working world

The only employers that make you clean out your desk immediately are tools. Most companies want you to give a couple of weeks notice to transition your job and give them a chance to start a replacement search. I've quit 2 jobs since graduating college and both times gave 2 weeks notice. Both times the employer let me work the 2 weeks.

If the story is as described then Saban was being a tool. It's not unheard of in the working world to have to clean out your desk immediately, but it's far from a given that an employer will treat people that way.

Trash your locker or trash your reputation (Kamara), spurn Saban and you're gonna get trash.
