    You're thinking of a different guy. Eli Ricks is the guy Bama got from LSU. Desmond (Dezz) Ricks is Eli's younger brother who was a true freshman in 2023. He reclassified from the 2024 class a month before signing day.

    They aren't related at all. Eli was at Mater Dei or some other Cali school. Dezz went to IMG from Virginia.

  2. You guys are off base, Terrion Arnold is really really good. He'll have a brain fart here and there, but he's really good in man coverage and great in run support. It is so rare for guys who can cover like him to be a plus in tackling on the edge. He can improve in zone, but most Saban guys don't really major in that.

    Even with the penalties, he's worth the pick.

  3. He's like a slightly more explosive Johntay Cook with better hands.

    I think Cook runs better routes though. Similar athletes.

    I can see what Vogel meant when he tweeted the interchangeable thing.

     

    If we get Bolden, he'd be the jitterbug/make you miss guy of the group.

    he has matured so much from when he came here with that fat face, ugly beard, and mullet. i’m honestly more impressed with his growth than most any player i can think of, due to his stardom and exaltation from the time he was 16 years old. the kid who showed up looking like he didn’t take himself seriously has grown into a much more mature and professional young man. its one thing to grow like that when you’re an underrated, unappreciated 3*player from BFE, Texas, but its whole nother thing to work on yourself and improve that much when you’ve been put on a pedestal your entire life.

    there’s 1,000 ryan perriloux’s for every one guy like Quinn. when he got here i did not think that QE had what it took to take himself seriously, and work his ass off as if he *wasn’t* the chosen one, but insyead a no-name guy who would have to bust his ass just to get PT, and he has summarily proved me wrong in that regard. i struggle to name another player in his position who’s shown the willingness to humble himself, work, and grow the way Quinn has. and because of this work, QE is now in a position to where he can truly achieve legendary status, both at Texas and in college football as a whole. really proud of him, and extremely excited to see the final product next season. Hook em Quinn! 🤘🏼 

    Omg Derka'ed.

    I'm kidding, solid post.

    I think it's between us and Auburn, with Auburn being the team he grew up liking.

    He's just going to A&M out of respect for Holmon (lol despite comments above) and getting a small bag for the visit.

    Just IMO based on reading forums.

    His dad played at Auburn, and his family is full of Auburn fans. He's also closer to Auburn location wise.

    Thought he got away with a travel there too

    Definitely did. Had this game on as background noise and was resigned to the loss as we choked down the stretch. Big time win. Unexpected.
