And I was still kind of hoping Toot would return, but if that interview is legit, that doesn't seem like an option.

Has anyone considered that @HankHill actually hit on some inside information and DW had him silenced?

RIP Hank

Another guy was talking about how Bama signs more than 25 annually. Again, this may be something everyone knows, but I didn't lol so I'm posting for others. Is this common sense or? I mean, I'm sure they still get some type of financial aid under the table. Sooooooooo can we sign over 25 now? (This is a rumor based on the guy hearing from a player first hand), so it might be ********



Bama might sometimes have more annual 25-limit spots available than we know about. I got pretty reliable confirmation that Paul Tyson, Will Reichard and Michael Parker enrolled initially as walk-ons to become eligible for voluntary withdrawal replacement schollies that don't count toward annual 25 signings and initial counters limits, only the 85 limit -- via the following exception rule:

(Perhaps there have been more.)

15.5.6.4 Exceptions.

15.5.6.4.1 Voluntary Withdrawal. [FBS/FCS] An institution may replace a counter who voluntarily withdraws from the football team by providing the financial aid to another student who already has enrolled in the institution and is a member of the football squad. For this replacement to occur, the counter must withdraw prior to the first day of classes or before the first game of the season, whichever is earlier, and provide the institution with a signed statement releasing the institution from its obligation to provide institutional financial aid and verifying the voluntary nature of the withdrawal. The institution may immediately (beginning with the fall term) award the financial aid to a student-athlete who has been a member of the team for at least one academic year and has not previously received athletically related financial aid. A student-athlete who has not been a member of the team for at least one academic year may not receive the financial aid during the fall term, but may receive it in a following term (e.g., spring semester, winter quarter). (Revised: 4/28/05 effective 8/1/05)

Tyson is Bryant's great grandson. Putting him on scholly would be nearly pointless.

Regarding the rest, there's really nothing you can do about kids willing to walk on initially at Bama. It's not much different than Pruitt signing kids like Abercombie, Montgomery etc as walkon's with the promise they'd one day get a scholarship. Saban's just able to convince more talented kids to follow this path because he gets results.

the DC hire will be announced today around 4pm, and it is going to be good news: Kacy Rodgers will be the DL coach and Al Washington will be the LB coach and they will split DC duties. It is unclear yet who the DB coach will be but Willie Martinez is the likely front runner.
