Seriously Kamara is built for this offense.

He could be 1a and 1b with Hurd.

This would be an incredible get.

Come on home Kamara!

Exactly!! If Butch had more time when he was hired, I think he would have been able to convince AK then, but he ran out of time. Hopefully, AK sees that he is tailor-made for this offense this time around. Also, he would get to play against Bama for 3 years with a chip on his shoulder...I like it! Come on home to the family, AK!

Kamara would be the perfect player to host prospects that are also considering Alabama.

True, it worked with Lorenzo carter, if you believe some of the stories out there.

The bottom line is that Bama is competing for Natties every year and they are getting multiple players drafted every year. They will still have the luxury to pick and choose the best players in the country.

I agree with everything here, especially the bama part, but I gotta say we'd be piling up alot of rb's in one class.

They just missed out on a qb.

Didn't they just sign a highly rated QB.

They don't have one committed for the 2015 cycle. They had Ricky Town committed until they hired Kiffen. Last cycle, they got David Cornwell and Fl St transfer Jacob Coker. Bama fans say Saban likes to have a QB every year, so I guess they are still searching.

It's all cyclical. They were shyte in the 90s through mid-2000's.

kiffen may be the missing piece to the puzzle...

What puzzle you say?

The mystery of what one thing will be the linchpin to the undoing of the saban dominance of college football :)
A little awkward wording, but I think you get the drift

While I'll agree with things being cyclical the bammers were a pretty good team throughout the 90's 1 nattie and 2 sec championships plus they played for the sec title 5 times out of 8 in the 90's. Now LSU is a team that has done a 180 since the 90's and who'd that start with , Satan.

I agree with this. I think people overstate how far Bama fell. They had some individual years that were awful, but they mixed in occasional good years. While we haven't had any exceptionally awful years (eg 8 losses or more) we've been irrelevant for much longer than they were. We've spent 1 week in the AP top 25 in 6 years. That's depressing. I don't think Bama's had a stretch like that since before Bear Bryant.

LSU definitely did though. You are right there.

How? We have 4 capable RBs right now. One of those will be gone before AK steps on the field. Take Reid and AK this class and call it a day. Take 2 more in 2016, and then we will have legit SEC RB depth.

Ya, we certainly are below capacity.

I was thinking the other day about how often a premier SEC RB starts as a freshman and makes it all the way through his junior season as the starter without having a season ending injury. Lattimore amd Gurley come to mind right away, and I couldn't think of one SEC RB who started as a freshman and didn't have a major injury before leaving.

I'm sure they exist, but the point is RBs have a shorter careers than most, no reason to wear out the tires with too many carries when you're not getting paid.

Bingo. Injuries happen too frequently at the RB position.

I feel like OG Baby avi will finally be able to move on with his life if Kamara wears orange.

Lol, Flat Top!! I've said all along he would be a Vol...never said it wouldn't be 2 years after he graduated from high school. 😋

And trust me, I do have a great life outside of the Vols, but I do love my Vols!

Just spoke with Treyvon. It isn't AK's gf just a really good friend of his. He seemed like it was kind of 50/50 flip a coin whether or not we land him. He'll be hanging out with AK this weekend.

We got three rbs in the 14 class. Adding AK next year, w/o any RS, would put him in the same class. That would be 4 soph rbs. Thats alot.

idk...maybe they RS Paulk or Scott.
