Just think of it as, "This is the first time in history that AU has dropped from the #1 spot."

I was making a joke that didn’t stick, not criticizing your timeline. Sorry.

As in, change this from a football field to a basketball court?

I did see it and it was a nice, mid-SEC finish compared to where they were in the summer. The obvious caveat to that being there is one HS OL in the class. Yeah ‘23 is supposed to be the year that changes so I’m not calling for anyone’s head (as if that matters anyway), but the staff started from behind and don’t seem to be catching up on that area yet. That’s where the “people who know how to make sure recruits end up with you” come in.

P5 needs full time refs like NFL. Year-round training in order to be able to handle the speed and level of the game. Demote or remove refs who consistently underperform or fail in crucial situation.

2-3 yard of losing seasons to purge the program followed by replacing the coach with someone who knows how to recruit in the SEC backed by people who know how to make sure recruits end up with you or at the very least not at your rivals.

Bo.

I live to serve.

Ah, I had read somewhere they were doing the full season, but don’t recall where. I’m sure the national games are blacked out and locals as well. I’m an Avs fan so I don’t have to worry about local blackouts like I do with the Braves.

Does that include Bird himself?

ESPN+ (as much as I despise ESPN) is becoming a great value. All NHL games this year (it was just the first half of the season last year) and all PGA events that used to be on the PGA Tour service that was $10. It ESPN did people no favors confusing everyone with the “+” part of their listings. ESPN+ is the separate subscription. SECN+, ACCN+, and other “+” channels just require you to have a cable/streaming service provider that carries the non-plus version of the channel, i.e. SEC Network. You just log in to the ESPN app with your TV provider to get the “+” channels. You also get game replays which you can watch anytime as soon as the game ends for about a week (maybe longer) after it airs live.

And 100% should have a statue.

Well 9-31 isn’t exactly lighting it up, but they did hit some to kill some Morehead State runs at times.

Wouldn’t be surprised if most of that top 20 class they signed this week were starters next year. I don’t think there is an SEC quality player on the roster right not outside of Honesty Scott-Grayson based on what I saw in this game tonight. The post play is rough and the team is very small all around. Harris was left with zip by the previous staff so she’s going to need 3 years at least to try and turn this around.

Now I want him shirtless when they build the statue…

I don’t think Coach Prewitt would approve.

Nothing public.

Yes. That's why sentence 2 starts with "Sean." Apologies for the derail. Loved what I saw out of Hunter as well. The AU RB room looks as strong as ever, in spite of the concerns over the spring and summer of how thin it is.

Wasn’t a “find” per se. Sean reached out because he knew the RB room was thin. Was set to walk-ok at UK and after taking to the AU staff, decided to walk-on there. I hope AU locks him up because he will be on scholarship somewhere next year. Loved him at HT and was thrilled when I heard he was heading to AU after shockingly not getting offers at at P5 schools. You’d think any ACC school and probably 2/3 of SEC schools could use him.

They were good when they were able to “recruit” like uat does now.

This is good. This is very good. Another HT WR on the Plains!

I know squat about evaluating HS kids, but watching him play I'm happy if he lands at AU. He had great body control, good size, good speed, and pretty good hands.

Yeah, that's why I was a little bit leery of the info in the first place. Kids around here that high up land at uat, but I am not sure how hard they are pushing for him.

The 19th could be interesting
