'22 TN DT Walter Nolen (Ole Miss)

[Vol423]

Omg wth did I miss? I really thought we could get rid of our dB coach who literally coaches soft zone coverage on every one and hey let's forget to never turn our head and look for the ball. Shoot me now if he stays

Don’t tempt us.

 

[RikidyBones]

Who is Russell Smith? Never heard of the guy before.

I listen to sports animal but also the voluntary reactions Twitter spaces. Those are tremendous

 

[butchna]

I hope we get Seaton, but based off of recent history of missing on big time recruits, I'm not holding my breath.

Shouldn’t habitually hold your breath…could lead to sleep apnea.

I’m told his asking price is into the high 6 figures to low 7 figures per season

If this is true, then he doesn't end up at bama, ga, or another school like that because they don't have that kind of extra money since they are leveraged already with the current talent, and even if they did, they already have similar talent and don't need/want to pay that type of price tag. If he's asking for that type of money, IMO, he will end up staying or go to a smaller school who will bust their budget on him. Or go to Auburn where apparently there are million dollar money trees growing behind the stadium.

Is he not eligible to declare for the draft? At that price, why not just do that?

No No No, you haven't heard? Plenty of folks on here think we improved on defense this year so it's okay to keep him and Banks... They want to ride with soft zone and teams throwing for 1,000 yds against us per game.

 

[volinbama256]

Ah you know on second thought, we don’t need the #1 ranked player in the transfer portal. I am sure Nolen is a much better “culture” for Bama.

Exactly--- and does anyone think if he's a culture problem that bama of all schools is gonna put up with that?

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

He didn’t transfer anywhere. He committed to TAMU. This is his first transfer.

When he transfers…he can’t do it again without sitting out a year. This isn’t difficult man. This is his 1 transfer. It’s why coaches like transfers because now they are locked in (unless they are a grad transfer)

I mean, they put up with dudes that slap women.

Saban defended one of his players who assaulted a woman.

You think he cares?

Terrible argument.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Why is that? He hasn't transferred in college yet.

I think you and BOT are the only ones not understanding what I said.

When he transfers from A&M, he can’t transfer again. So…..wherever he goes, he will have to be locked in. He will have to get in line.

 

[butchna]

Champion the action, even.

he was terrified!

Have a heart!

 

[volamite86]

I will be sure to take your advice under strict advisement.

Weird retort but ok

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

You think soft zone coverages are WM’s call?

Idk, what I do know is our secondary is not good. Uga secondary was pedestrian with him. But hey there's tons reasons why he's top25 dB coach in america

 

[GVol1966]

They ignore half the stuff that other schools suspend players for and if a player is mad because they lose and hit women they treat him like he’s a victim.
So yeah I think so

Martinez is a top 25 DB coach? Says who?

both of his stints here have been marked with an overwhelming feeling we cannot defend the pass well. If he’s here next year, prepare for subpar defensive back recruiting and giving up pass plays at critical parts of a game.

Bout to pick up Seaton's bag...

 

[SoilVol]

No, 1st transfer is all any kids gets that's free. If the HC is fired a kid would have 30 days to enter the portal if they like. Basically, they wouldn't have to wait until the portal window to enter.

I don't think that's true. If your coach gets fired or leaves you get a free transfer. There may also be a clause for graduate transfers.

This is how A&M's QB Max Johnson was able to transfer to UNC. He'd already transferred to A&M from LSU

He could be a beast at Oregon. Much better off there than A&M honestly.

I was thinking the same thing. He'll eat those Big Ten linemen alive.

Lazy choice, of schools, “Don’t want to work hard”!

He landed Boo Carter.
