Bama's switching to a 7-DB defense next season.
Baron Browning commits to Ohio State..
It was The Game that swung him. rivalry game wins yum.

With Baron in the boat.. hopefully this will lead to Wilson jumping in the boat next..
That and I'm assuming the crowded class with Bama at LB..
It's also possible that we get Jay Tufele too.. that might lead to us losing Jerron Cage though
But imagine Wilson, Tufele, with Landers already..
We would be sitting pretty..

Only 2 DB commits too, but at least there is some (inexperienced) depth there.
More like 7 LBs.

Possibly..
That's what it's looking like for now.. he's not committing till Signing Day reportedly so we have some time to wait.
But Okudan and Browning double teaming him certainly helps in trying to get him to Columbus
I'm not sure if all that is much of a factor, but Texas is a big state lol, Houston players like Little and Chaisson would probably have an equal or greater amount of influence in getting him to choose Texas if they get those guys especially Little since they're high school teammates. THe Houston factor helps too due to Herman.

That is true as well..
If I had to guess with the limited knowledge that I have.. it's looking like
Texas
LSU
Ohio State nipping at at the moment..or about even with LSU
Worst case if we don't sign Wilson.. we still have Cage and possibly Tufele respectively..
Even If we didn't end up with Wilson.. I don't think any person could be disappointed with how the class is looking.. even now after adding Baron
Just imagine if they played that game when true rivalry games are played. At night. ;p
The Game got the highest ratings of the year and in many years of all games and it was at 12. 12 is fine.
And just imagine how much better it would have been in primetime.

lol you guys have like 10 5 star players, Would there actually be fans upset because you didn't get that 11th 5 star player?

Upset.. no because it's still an excellent class if we were to strike out on every other recruit.
Sad because we didn't land a particular recruit.. sure.
And next year is already looking to be as special and possibly more so in terms of recruiting.
That seems strange to go to
A shit job now in Baylor and to a group of 5 school in Houston.
That seems like it's going backwards in my opinion
Both have higher ceilings than Wazzu.

Not if Baylor is about to be nuked from orbit.
I'll believe it when I see it!
Have you ever listened to the Finebaum show and heard the Bama callers?
FloydtheFathead
Member
I was about to say..
They have one recruit in their current class..
Even if they don't get nuked.. they will have a difficult road to go to climb back to relevance.
Leach would turn them around quickly assuming they don't get sanctioned.

It's not going to be that easy..
Baylor is definitely not Penn State..
This makes more sense than Lane going to LSU to play second fiddle to Ed.Preview of Kiffin's staff picture when he's hired by Houston.
I want to say they aren't representative of the fan bade but sadly thats a lie

Go Ohio! I know they don't likely have a chance at all, and I'll be happy for Western Michigan if they win (and will root for them in the Cotton Bowl, which they should absolutely make if they win today), but I still hope Ohio somehow pulls it out.
I generally assume that a majority of every fan base are boneheads. Except Iowa State. We are smrt.

Holy shit, how many football players will opt out of visiting the White House after winning the natty during Trump's term?
He may never even meet a RB or a DB during his 4 years.

He would get every transfer from every big school in the conference footprint.

Nebraska looks poised to hire Top 10 recruiter and DB coach Donte Williams from Arizona to replace its fired special teams coordinator.
Yeah obviously not the entire fanbase. But there's definitely a sizable segment that hears the average Bama fan on there and agrees with what they say.
Darryl from Georgia or whatever his name is is an idiot btw. I think all the people that have created a character for the show are faking it to some extent. If not fully.
Plus Finebaum encourages it.

I'm an Alabama fan who thinks Finebaum can go to hell.

Are you talking about Mike or Lane?
Leach
FloydtheFathead
Member
I disagree..
He would be starting below zero if he decided to go to Baylor.. what recruit will decide to transfer to get their heads kicked in every week. No amount of extra play time is worth the stigma and getting your ass kicked for the 3-4 years it will take to reboot the program at least.
Immediate playing time, a proven coach/system, fertile recruiting grounds for guys that want to stay home. He'd be fine after a year or two.
Definitely.

I know you're not representative of the fanbase.
Baylor currently has 1 prospect committed for 2017. Regardless of who they get, the bad publicity they've been getting has acted as it's own sort of sanctions for several years.
All the assistant coaches that they've retained haven't been recruiting at all this whole time. So yeah, it's a dire situation for whoever goes there.

If Mike were to do this.. I think it would take 3 or 4 minimum.. and that's if Mike doesn't fuck it up.. which is a possibility.
I agree. CDY thinks Mike can flip Baylor in a flash when it's just not the case. People are underestimating just how fucked Baylor's reputation especially in recruiting. It helped Ohio State land Okudah and Browning because of it.
Baylor is not Penn State.. people have to remember that.
He said that on Russilo and Kanell too..
Helfrich is a good guy..
It's fucked because the coaches aren't trying. Leach would be trying.
Not saying they'd be winning 10 games every year, but they aren't going to be post-death-penalty SMU.
I think that Leach news is nothing but an agent being an agent.
He has basically nothing at all that Baylor is looking for outside of offensive scheme and a tie to the state of Texas. He's politically incorrect, was fired from a previous job for reasons involving player abuse, has a history of conflict with his administration, has never given much of a damn about recruiting, and has a Briles tie in that he gave Art his first collegiate coaching job.

I think Leach could turn things around but this year is screwed for whoever they get. And that damage will manifest itself down the line when those guys that would have been seniors just aren't there.
That said, I think Leach would be a good hire for them as far as scheme goes.

What's the consensus on the PSU/Wisky game tomorrow here? Am I alone in thinking PSU gets it done?
FloydtheFathead

I'm not saying that either.. if he were to come over.. now basically.. he's going to have a hard road to hoe with signing day coming up soon.
It's not going to be easy.. it will take 3-4 years at least..
