  1. Transition is tough, it's even tougher since they specifically chose to live in Tuscaloosa to get coached by Saban. The value proposition has changed and DeBoer isn't the guy to convince them otherwise. 

    On top of that, they can make better money, live in a better town, and potentially get better development by leaving.

    Not a hard decision if that's why you came.

    That’s 7 ends who will be competing for 140-150 snaps per game. If we can’t produce consistent pressure on the QB out of that, then we’ll just be pretenders.

    I assume you're counting the Buck and Jack in your 140-150 snaps per game.

    Don't forget we had Jett Bush and Mo Blackwell rushing the passer from the SLB position at times too, so there are plenty of ways to get more pass rushers out there in the 70 or so defensive snaps per game.

    Didn't Bijan drive a Lambo? And I appreciate any player getting a car where you can actually see the road over your hood if he's going to drive it around campus.

    I think they just get the lambo for weekends here and there. That’s not their everyday driver car.

    He played with Tank Dell and Clayton Tune, two guys currently the NFL. He's not playing with those guys at UH next year. As good as Worthy was, he left a lot of yards and TDs on the field by not being able to track and adjust his routes. Golden is going to put up big numbers with 4+ other NFL skill position talent on the field.

    He played with Donovan smith, Samuel brown and Joseph manjack last year. 
     

    My point is that, in the past, we’ve seen WRs further down the depth chart (B. Thompson) whine about the WR room getting crowded. It’s good to see him supporting all the new people who could potentially reduce his targets this year.

    And don't forget Quinn Ewers coming back with two seasons under Sark's system.  It's possible that our WR/TE talent might not be as good as last years, but Quinn's experience is certainly a strong factor in the passing game.

    This is already a better WR room than last year. Will they produce like it? Who knows.

    The drop off from Sanders to Niblack is probably a solid one, but it’s hard to determine the kind of output he and Bond would have in a more competent passing offense. At the very least, he provides a different look in the red zone and on money downs. 
     

    The team needs to gel over the offseason for things to really start to take off.

    WR and DB is getting a complete makeover. They must really have some concerns about some that are on campus already. 

    Or you have an opportunity to shore up positions on the roster that would have been question marks heading into the season

    The talent on campus at these positions is young, unproven, or both. 
     

    Jabbar Muhammad would put us in position to cross train Brooks at the other db positions if needed. Having all that proven performance in the secondary and at WR makes it easier to evaluate the young guys there too.

    Iron sharpens iron.

    Honest question based on this, Nansen and a few coaches at other schools...do they not sign contracts?  I don't understand how you're allowed to accept a job and one school and then turn around and take a job at another school a few days, or weeks later.

    We did the same with Tashard Choice and USC.
