The Albert Means Story:

I still can't believe that Bama is crying and blaming Fulmer for the Albert Means debacle. Jackie Sherrill (Mississippi State), Houston Nutt (Arkansas) , RIp Scherer (Memphis), Jim Donnan (Georgia) and Phil Fulmer (Tennessee) all reported wrong doings to the NCAA. Stating Lynn Lang (Means' H.S. Coach) want $200K for Albert Means to play for a school.

But to this date there is zero accountability for wrongdoing by Bama in the eyes of their fans. It was all Phillip Fulmer's fault.
Lang brokered a deal with several Alabama boosters in the Memphis area where he received $30,000 from the boosters. The remaining $170K was paid after Means officially signed with Bama.
Lang demanded $6,000 in cash from a Kentucky booster in the presence of a Kentucky assistant coach Claude Bassett for Means to visit Kentucky.
In similar fashion Lang received $4,000 for each visit he arranged to Georgia and Alabama.
Jim Donnan gave Lang $700 out of pocket.
Rip Sherer promised free law school tuition.
Brad Lawing (Michigan State) said Lang demanded $200K to play at MSU, and that Lang would repay $50K that had already paid for Means.
Houston Nutt stated that Lang told his assistant coach that $200K was required to secure Means' enrollment.
Albert Means testified in Lang's trial that he never took the required standardized test for college admission. Means went on testify that Lang had another student take the test for him.
Federal Prosecutors provided evidence that Lang tried to sell Means to eight schools:
Alabama
Arkansas
Georgia
Kentucky
Memphis
Michigan State
Mississippi State
Tennessee
But because Fulmer testified, it's al his fault. Zero accountability for the Crimson Tide.

^^^ And that's why you can't trust a Gump on the officiating crew or anywhere around the University of Tennessee. The hate is real.

Updated for VQ War Room list. Apologies for not adding the rankings for all of the new additions this morning. I've italicized the ones I've seen elsewhere who were not in the War Room list, and will also come back and add any new ones from the 247 list once it's posted.

Needless to say this is an insane list from both a quantity and quality perspective. You can't keep saying "best list ever" because it's both hard to quantify and also can get overused. But the amount of talent on campus across 3 classes - including once again the bulk of our #7 2024 class - is incredible. When you realize that 2026 prospects are starting to commit already, and that the large majority of those who don't will commit next summer after the Dec-April UV cycle followed by the May-June OV cycle, it's clear how important these back to back UF/Bama game weekends are. These are going to pay MASSIVE dividends when you start seeing these names pop up again on campus for those Junior Days and then for OVs and they'll be back for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th times.
