Saban is such a fucking bullshit artist.  Hey Nick, we do.  It's called the IRS.

Also also, if the clown show has moved on to all time greatest series, Dallas is the fucking archetype for a bunch of shows being discussed. I’ve seen the whole series 3 times and it’s amaze balls. @SydneyCarton is this board’s Cliff Barnes. @texifornia is this board’s Sue Ellen. 

I've seen it twice all the way through. Hagman regarded it as a comedy and says you should too. As such it kicks ass in every direction.

On3: Top Performers from All-American Bowl Week

Spoiler

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Saturday saw dozens of the nation’s top prospects play in the nationally-televised All-American Bowl inside the Alamodome. The game was the culmination of a week of action which included four practices.

On3 was on hand all week to take in the action. Here are our top performers from the week, which combines what we saw in the practices and in Sunday’s game.

All-American Bowl Roster Breakdown | Day 1 Top Performers |Day 2 Top Performers | Day 3 Top Performers |Ranking the Quarterbacks

On3 MVP: Mykel Williams – Georgia
Mykel Williams came to the All-American Bowl as the No. 4 overall prospect in the On300. He might’ve out-played that lofty ranking at the All-American Bowl. The 6-foot-5, 265-pounder was dominant from start to finish. Williams has a complete skill set as an interior pass rusher. He combines high-end first-step quickness and plus length with quick hands, a catalog of pass rush moves and a motor that runs hot. William’s 1-on-1 session during Thursday’s joint practice may be the most dominant stretch we saw from a prospect in either national all-star game. Williams’ fantastic week carried over to Saturday’s game. He lived in the backfield all afternoon, showing his ability as an interior pass rusher while also playing some on the edge. Williams finished with several plays behind the line of scrimmage, including a sack against his future Georgia teammate, Earnest Greene. In all, the five-star’s showing was among the best we’ve seen from a defensive lineman in this setting in a few years. 

2. WR Isaiah Bond – Alabama
Isaiah Bond was a two-way player at Georgia powerhouse Buford High and has been ranked as an athlete for the majority of the cycle. The 5-foot-11, 175-pounder has one of the best track profiles of the cycle as a state champion in the 100 (10.48) and 200 (21.05) meters. We saw that speed transfer over to the field, and then some. Bond was the toughest cover at the All-American Bowl. He regularly got deep on opposing corners, often roasting the competition. We were also pleasantly surprised with Bond’s route-running ability and technical ability at receiver. He can continue to hone his ball skills, but looks to be further along than expected. The Alabama signee looks like one of the top deep threats in the cycle. 

3. QB Drew Allar – Penn State
Drew Allar was the top performing quarterback during All-American Bowl practices, showcasing his advanced passing talent and skill. The 6-foot-5, 230-pounder has the best arm talent in the 2022 cycle. He has plus arm strength with the ability to easily drive the ball to all levels. Allar delivers from multiple arm slots and can layer the football, resulting in easily catchable passes. There were multiple occasions throughout the week where Allar would throw prior to a receiver showing himself to be open. While he didn’t stuff the stat sheet in the game, we saw Allar make some high-level throws over the course of the afternoon.

4. QB Cade Klubnik – Clemson
Cade Klubnik received the most in-game reps of all quarterbacks and took advantage of the opportunity. The Clemson signee didn’t have trouble adjusting to the increased speed of live game action. That shouldn’t come as a surprise given his experience playing top competition in the state of Texas. Klubnik showed off his mobility and accuracy, hitting a few nice passes while moving to his right. While he doesn’t have the natural arm talent of Allar or Brown and entered the game running third in our quarterback pecking order, Klubnik was on the same page with his receivers and had by far the most productive game of the bunch.

5. EDGE Dani Dennis-Sutton – Penn State
We didn’t get to see Dani Dennis-Sutton take quite as many reps as Mykel Williams or Marvin Jones Jr. over the course of the All-American Bowl week, but the Penn State commit impressed on snap-by-snap basis. Dennis-Sutton had an outtanding showing in 1-on-1’s on the first practice. He followed that up by being disruptive in Saturday’s game. He easily beat Ohio State signee George Fitzpatrick for a big sack in the first half. We also saw Dennis-Sutton show off some explosive strength in setting the edge. The future Nittany Lion is a high energy prospect with impressive speed-to-power.

6. QB Devin Brown – Ohio State
Along with Allar, Devin Brown looked like one of the top physical talents at quarterback in the 2022 cycle throughout the week. The 6-foot-2. 5, 195-pounder excelled as a downfield passer, showing the ability to rip the ball to the second and third levels at All-American Bowl practices. Brown showed easily projectable arm talent and movement ability. We didn’t get to see the Ohio State signee take a bunch of reps in the game, but there were a few occasions where you could see his physical talent on display.

7. S Devin Moore – Florida
We thought Devin Moore had the best week of the defensive backs at the All-American Bowl. The Florida signee is a bigger player in the secondary at 6-foot-1.5, 190 pounds. Moore excelled as a cover safety. He’s a natural mover with good speed for the position, to go with the size. The Gator signee made a number of plays on the ball throughout the week. We also saw him come down with an interception in the game. He currently ranks as the no. 84 overall prospect in the On300 and played up to the ranking.

8. IOL Earnest Greene – Georgia
There were several jumbo-sized offensive linemen in the All-American Bowl. We thought Earnest Greene had the best week of the group. The 6-foot-3.5, 350-pounder showed off his versatility while working at left tackle for the West team throughout the week. He pairs a wide base and long arms with advanced technical skills. Greene announced for Georgia during the game and projects along the interior long-term. With that said, he has some resemblance to your typical Georgia offensive linemen like Jamaree Salyer – big maulers who can play multiple spots on the line.

9. RB Nick Singleton – Penn State
It can be difficult for running backs to impress in non-contact all-star practices. That was not the case with Nick Singleton at the All-American Bowl. The 6-foot, 210-pounder is the No. 1 running back in the cycle in the On300 and On3 Consensus. He certainly played up to that ranking. Singleton has an elite burst that is on another level from any running back we’ve seen over the past two weeks. The five-star quickly gets to the second level and showed the top end speed to pull away from the secondary for long scores. We were also impressed with his pass-catching ability out of the backfield. Singleton has soft hands with the ability to adjust to inaccurate throws. He didn’t get many touches during the game, but Singleton looked like the nation’s top running back prospect in practices.

10. EDGE Marvin Jones Jr. – Georgia
The current No. 1 prospect in the On300, Marvin Jones Jr. entered the All-American Bowl with something to prove. Jones answered the bell, turning in a strong week of work. The 6-foot-5, 250-pounder was the top EDGE in practices. He flashed top notch flexibility and curvilinear movement in rounding the hoop. Jones is not a finished product and will need to continue honing some technique and his finishing ability. With that said, he was certainly among the more disruptive defensive players on hand throughout the week.

Additional notes
+ Similar to Klubnik, we saw Gunner Stockton fare a little better in the game than in practices. Stockton was able to use his mobility and power run element to help in leading a touchdown drive for the East. The Georgia signee is a tough, physical player who is not shy about taking on contact. He also showed a strong arm throughout All-American Bowl practices.

+ Kentucky wide receiver signee Barion Brown wascertainly one of the fastest players on hand at the All-American Bowl. The 5-foot-11, 170-pounder also showed some open-field wiggle in the game with several nice plays in the first half. Brown went out with an ankle sprain, but returned for a catch in the fourth quarter. Kevin Coleman surprised the recruiting world with his commitment to Deion Sanders and Jackson State in the fourth quarter. The four-star was among the more technically-refined receivers in San Antonio. Ohio State signee Kyion Grayes also impressed with his route running ability. Grayes got wide open on a double move in the first half and likely would’ve scored a touchdown had Klubnik’s throw been on time. C.J. Williams committed to USC during the game and showed off some strong hands and polish, coming down with a diving touchdown on a throw from Klubnik.

+ Ohio State defensive line signee Caden Curry had an active week at All-American Bowl practices. We saw the 6-foot-2.5, 240-pounder carry that over to the game. Curry is a high energy, aggressive player with some refined technical skills. The initial quickness effort level showed up on Saturday as he made a few plays behind the line of scrimmage.

+ After Greene, we thought Notre Dame Billy Schrauth had the most consistent week among offensive linemen from start to finish. The 6-foot-4, 295-pounder played multiple spots on the West offensive line. He impressed with his hands, reactive quickness and competitiveness on a daily basis.

+ Rayshon Luke had a big day. The 5-foot-8, 156-pounder showed off his elite track speed in scoring a few touchdowns en route to being named the All-American Bowl MVP. Luke also announced his commitment to Arizona. He joins some other top SoCal prospects including Tetairoa McMillan, Keyan Burnett and Noah Fifita in the Wildcats’ class.

+ We thought Texas signee Jaylon Guilbeau and TCU signee Kyron Chambers were the top two defensive backs for the West team throughout All-American Bowl week. Guilbeau was had the most active ball production in coverage at practices and jumped a Drew Allar pass for a near pick in the game. Chambers was a late add, coming in mid-week. He hit the ground running in practices and had an interception in the game.

+ Joshua Burnham (Notre Dame) and Lander Barton (Utah) and were two linebackers who impressed for the East and West, respectively. Barton was the On3 MVP for the West team on Wednesday while Burnham was the East’s On3 MVP on Thursday. Barton showed the ability to drop into space and carry receivers downfield. Burnham took control of the East defense and caught our eye with his movement skills and instincts.

Thanks to this thread I finally watched Rio Bravo today. It is an extremely entertaining watch, nice work everyone.

Also Angie Dickinson, my goodness.

You just watched Rio Bravo?  Anyone in their 40's should have seen that decades ago. Ain't on the boobtube much anymore though.

Rio Bravo was Howard Hawks' and John Wayne's rebuttal to producer Stanley Kramer's 1952 rebuke of the Hollywood Blacklist, High Noon.  Kramer was known for his polemical films like Inherit the Wind, Judgment at Nuremberg, The Defiant Ones and Guess  Who's Coming to Dinner.  Wayne was incensed by High Noon as he was a huge supporter of the Blacklist.  So he approached Hawks and HH adapted Rio Bravo from a short story.  The result is diametrically opposed to High Noon.

Looks like aggy has it all figured out:

 

NIL Facts you won’t likePosted on 1/9/22 at 5:02 pm

Let’s ASSUME that the NCAA goes against the SCOTUS ruling and decides to somehow limit money to players.

It’s an almost certainty that the legal eagles in Texas will immediately file an injunction and bring the case to court.

And even if the NCAA wins ( a huge if, they probably will lose) A&M will have two or three recruiting classes come and go before a decision is ever final, because it will go all the way to SCOTUS, because the court will need to clarify their previous ruling.

In short, it will legally take years to figure this out. Years.

So like it or not at least for the next few years this is the way it will be and it very well may stay this way. But even if it doesn’t it won’t be changed for a while.

So. Deal. With. It.
 
Other teams have been doing it illegally for decades. It finally becomes legal, our staff takes full advantage, and suddenly everyone else bitches about it. I guess that’s what happens when you become a threat to them. I’ll consider all your crying as a compliment.

There are a lot of hokey John Wayne westerns, but this one is top notch and the best of his more lighthearted movies.   The Searchers and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance are his best movies and both in the running for best western movie ever.  They both have a very different tone than most of his work, though.  He’s basically Captain Ahab in The Searchers, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance was an anti-western 30 years before Unforgiven.

I will scattershot the rest of our recruiting topics as well:

1. All the Harry Potter movies are good, except the second to last one was rather unnecessary - they could have done Deathly Hallows in one movie instead of stretching it to two.  Also, Prisoner of Azkaban is the best story in the series, but that’s also when the movies started hiring different directors who wanted to put their own artistic spin on things.  The first movie is the most faithful to the books and probably captures the tone the best.

2.  Downtown Abbey is my favorite modern drama, which was very surprising to me.  I avoided watching it for years until finally giving it a go during the pandemic.  It’s great on rewatch, too, since you can be entertained by the dialogue and subtle little interactions seem momentous.  It doesn’t really matter if you already know the plot, although the plot twists and soap opera aspects are fun on the first watch.

3.  Breaking Bad is better in the last few seasons than the first part.  The first two seasons are kind of boring except for certain moments.  By the last season it’s completely off the rails.  Ozymandias is the most intense tv episode I’ve seen of any show.

4.  Mad Men got boring for me.  It’s also a dialogue show, but it’s more depressing and repetitive than Downton Abbey, and it goes on too long.  I was hooked on it for a while, but around the time Don marries Megan and Layne kills himself I just lost interest.  I never even finished it.  I saw Pete Campbell get punched and called a grimy little pimp, and there was nothing left to root for after that.

5.  I guess we might recruit more players?  Or we won’t?  Anyway, Whataburger sucks now other than the fries, In and Out and P Terry’s have always been overrated, and you might as well just order burgers from actual restaurants.  Call ahead or get Door Dash.

Middle of a mad men rewatch… Actually kinda agree with you on the downturn with Megan marriage. What an absolute ass whip of a woman/character who wasn’t close to top 10 of dons gal pals in looks dept. Really when Ginsberg shows up is when it all turned, no racist.

Early Entry: Ewers, Allen, Murphy, Brooks, Blue, Finkley, Guilbeau, Bryant, Hutson, Brice

 

Bledsoe and Brown were also considered possibilities, but are reported to no longer be ready to enroll early.

Add LTG as a spring arrival 

IT mentions Jordan as an early enrollee as well

27 Signees + 2 transfers + 1 hopefully Devon Campbell puts 2022 Roster additions total at:   30

Room for 2-3 more players

Sark said in a presser that the number is now 36

Also, I think Sark learned the loopholes for massaging the numbers from Bama

That's crazy - 36/85 = 42% new roster. In one season almost half of the roster will be turned over.

Don't forget Lewis probably ends up somewhere else.  Hopefully the Drew Sanders rumor comes true in the next day or two and need a Safety, LB, and WR.

Scoop:

 

RECRUITING

Texas looks to put a bow on an outstanding 2022 class during the second signing period on February 2nd. After nabbing Larry Turner-Gooden on Saturday, the Horns still rank No. 5 in the On3 Team Recruiting Rankings and with one marlin left on the hook, they could potentially reel in a No. 4 spot when it's all said and done. The month of December was certainly the strongest in the Steve Sarkisian era. Pretty soon, the full focus moves to the 2023 cycle with junior day two weeks away.

OL Devon Campbell, Bowie (Arlington, TX): Nothing new here. IT still expects Texas to be the pick over Oklahoma February 2. After Larry Turner-Golden committed, Campbell will likely be the only other addition before the 2022 class is put to bed.

However, Texas continues to swing away at Jacoby Mathews (Ponchatoula, La.). While there has been some confidence on the Texas side, IT isn’t very optimistic. Mathews will make an official visit to Florida this weekend. LSU and Alabama are still right there. Texas A&M is still in the picture too.
