[Glocker_Alum_2005]

SIAP ...Johnny Manziel and Colby Covington are coming to Tuscaloosa for Bama vs. Vandy https://share.google/vJ4rUr69nnAcogOCa
Does this all but guarantee a Gump victory?

Has AP talked about what we are still looking to take for the recruiting class? Sorry if I missed it.

I assume a TE, 1-2 DL

 

[CAVPUT]

We're winning a title in the next 2 years

I'd settle for a final 4. Just think I'll wait to see how Mr Ament handles the competition and physicality of this league before getting too fired up tho.

Their dirt daubers they don't want ****, they just want to **ck it up for you.

Lol

This needs to be played every Kentucky week from here on out

+ maaaaybe an OL if the right one is available

Seems we go portal RB if we take one this cycle.


Not taking a tight end and RB in one cycle seems a bit odd imo so personally I really hope we land at least one of those. Gives us a potential offensive hole in a few years otherwise

 

[zhangliao04]

Can you imagine the feeling if you wrote that check?

Dang it…got got.

I'd be more worried about the Arkansas game if they hadn't beaten UT last year. I believe the older players will be dialed in for the game and a measure of revenge.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Believe it’s a fairly common thing to happen when the state you live in introduces a new professional sports team

I didn't have a favorite NFL team before the Titans showed up in Nashville. And today, I still do not have a favorite NFL team.

A 100 rating?!

Did Barnes seriously pull a kid who's going to go #1 overall?? This season is gonna be fun

Faith of a mustard seed….No mustard bottles this time

I know for sure DL, specifically interior guys. Also they'll take the right OL, but not a "have to take" I think TE/RB also would be areas they'd take guys if the right guy is there.

Seems like a "playmaker" is desirable...that could be TE/WR/RB or ATH though so pretty wide open...

This was from Hubbs on 99.1 a day or two ago. Overall they just want quality pieces at this point.

I agree. I hope they take a TE and RB. We nailed TE last class. And Morris looks like a future star at RB.

Arnold, Raoila, Manning, and Heaveamleava...

Thanks! I would rather take 1-2 OL from the portal and keep what we have. Hopefully we can land a TE and RB.

I like ZZ, but we may have upgraded at PG too.

Yeah, I get the vibe the staff really wants to keep what they have as much as possible. But I think most folks expecting at least 2 OL gone to the draft so there will be some sort of need even if no one else leaves probably.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Not sure I'd say "upgraded" at least from a production standpoint...I will say we've got as talented as a PG with a bit better scoring skillset and size.

Ja'Kobi shouldn't be a fall off at PG...and he really should be an upgrade as a scorer from that spot.

 

[chavisut]

Arion really did save the day. For sure game-tying TD. Peeled off his guy to bat this away. Give the man some love.

Dominic Bailey bull rushing the guard into QBs face was big time too.

It would also be nice to not have to face all time great teams and players in the elite 8. That could help too.

It sounds like they would take either if they like the guy enough. They recently offered an Indiana TE commit Parker Elmore but he's an in-state guy so we'll see how that goes. If they don't find a guy they like in the class, they'll add a guy in the portal at either position.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Sue Bob should pay ME for coming to Beckley. The toll booth makes no sense and is actually insulting.

We’ve crushed portal recruiting for OL. That’s the only reason I say grab the rest form the portal.

What happened to the Kentucky commit? We move on?

I remember one time I got into my car and the stereo wouldn't work at all. I couldn't figure out why for days, until I washed it and was vacuuming out the passenger side. I noticed a magnet stuck to the dash panel. I took the magnet off and the stereo started working again. . .

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

I'm more shocked that he's Republican

I'm not considering Finebaum profits off of misinformed people saying crazy sh!t
