TigerVII 108 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 AUwent was right about RW. AU would have been better served by spending the time and NIL money on a portal QB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,823 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 4 minutes ago, ScotsAU said: Can’t say he didn’t either. Nobody has any real idea why he recommitted. Even if RW says something publicly, that may or may not be the real reason. Yeah I can’t think there’s any value at all to still try to look at this fallout from an “insiders” or rumor perspective. Basically all rumors other than the pro-Alabama ones appear like they will be completely invalidated. The victor gets to dictate how history went Maybe it was money, maybe it was a leave it or take it offer, maybe it was a complete troll job by Ryan. Maybe it was always 50/50 and this last visit just locked it in for him. No one will ever know except him and his 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there been an announcement that our staff wasn’t spending time & NIL on a portal QB? As I stated weeks ago, this was one single recruit that they could allocate time to because ENSD was over. AU lost no other recruits by spending time & resources on him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roe4christ 948 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Look at it this way. We have more money now to spend post spring on any remaining needs. I am not upset with this. If we didn't have the stacked WR's class we just pulled in.....maybe but I think this actually could be a good thing. Not making excuses for losing him, it would have been a good get but in the long run, I think this is not that bad of a thing. Now we move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardin Drake 1,911 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I would have loved to get Ryan Williams, but there is no way I would take him over Cam Coleman. He may turn out to be a superstar, but 5' 10" receivers seldom do. Very happy with who we have. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yngwie1995 2,232 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 These turds acting like it was DeBoer that recruited him. The guy was obviously in love with bama, or the money. DeBoer didn't do **** in 2 weeks, other than convince him to $tay. They're gonna run with this false narrative. mod edit: DO NOT evade the profanity filter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,416 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Don’t forget … in this day of transfers you aren’t just recruiting these kids as freshmen but also future transfers. Always leave the door open for the future if the kid has been honest with the staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ship has pretty much sailed unless u grab in the second window. Unpopular opinion. Hoping WW wins and takes his lumps this year. The receivers and him would have cohesion for 2024. Hank Brown would work as well in this situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it appears they're working very hard on the 2025 class - weekend visits and all. They just didn't take the opportunity to upgrade from Thorne (at least before spring practices anyway).
