Definitely hyperbole. To exaggerate a point.
Right now Louisiana is signing 1, 2, and 3-star athletes while Alabama is signing 3, 4, and 5-star athletes and yet because Louisiana players hit the field, Alabama found themselves in need.
Look at the situation when Trey Amos signed with Louisiana in 2020. Alabama had signed13% of ALL 5-star athletes over the previous 10 years.
Trey Amos would have never hit the field if he had signed with Alabama out of high school.
And that has to be a selling point Des uses.
Get out of those talent graveyards if you want long term paydays.

Renewed my season tickets.
Much to the chagrin of the folks in front of me.
Re: The Portal Strikes Again
Question I have is who are now the likely starters that will replace Amos and Pedescleaux?

They took Brown from Southern knowing Pedescleaux could leave after graduation. He will be in competition with a few others including Flowers. Flowers is the heir apparent unless they have a position change in mind for him. You lose experience with Pedescleaux, he wasn't the greatest athlete on the field.
Amos hurts more because this was his first year as a full-time starter and he is just going to get better. Anderson has a shot at one corner and a few others are in the mix. Don't be surprised if a JC transfer is added during the summer.

What if we chose to not put up with the BS and not spend our money on this (R@P. That is a choice. If the NCAA decides to let the P5s destroy the sport I don’t have to support it. If all the rest of the universities don’t stand up and defend themselves then shame on them. I am about to start treating college football like the NFL on the patio and on the TV. It’ll save me a grand or so a year.
Re: The Portal Strikes Again
I reluctantly renewed my tickets this year. Pretty sure this will be my last. New stadium(lol) or not..

Pedescleaux hurts a plenty. The guy was a hell of a ball player.

So how is Mike's ironclad grip on keeping the culture of all for one & one for all in place looking right about now? There's one can of bull crap we can throw out the window.
