I wouldn't assume that.   Weren't we saying the same things about the Orr boys before they BOTH played significantly as Freshmen at TCU & Wisconsin respectively?

Yeah we were. But usually holds true though. The Orr kids went out and took playing time.

Great to see a decision with some drama, where NT is in the mix, where God is thanked, where emotions are shown...and then the North Texas hat gets placed on the lid. GMG

And didn't Bama's entire starting DL get drafted?   Who's to say Raveon can't come in and do the same?   Who knows?

No one knows. But Bama has some studs and for him to crack that 2-deep would be an accomplishment in its own right. I'm honestly not sure he'll be able to do that. If I was a betting man I'd wager against him. Let's just say that.

Some NT fans argument for him to come here is that he is not good enough to play at Alabama?  That sure should sway him this way.    

Obviously, Alabama if they offered thinks that he can play there.    NT is not a bad situation for any player and playing with ex-teammates has to be a draw.   Still with Alabama and Nebraska coming in late, it is a long shot for NT.

Agreed. When bama gets in the picture with any recruit it becomes a long shot regardless of who we are.

Not saying he isn't good enough to play at Alabama. Keep in mind that their 3rd string QB from last year has a great chance to start here. I'm saying that the competition for playing time at Bama will be much better than the competition here. Bama brings back:

Jonathan Allen - Senior All-SEC in 2015 

D'Shawn Hand - Junior Played in 8 games in 2015 with 16 tackles and 3 sacks

Dalvin Tomlinson - Senior played in 14 games and had 34 tackles

I'm a big fan of his. I'm hoping that having Wyche here along with Ekeler's relationship and the opportunity to play along side of Bryce English might sway him our way. Having said that, it is really hard to say no to a program that is the reigning national champ who has only 18 losses in the last 9 years and for a coach who has 5 NC rings. 

I am, however, very excited that we got in on a D-line player before Bama and the Huskers. Ekeler is out there eating.

Our loss, but I can understand what might have led him to make that decision given the facts. Had he chosen someone else I might be really pissed. Best of luck to him and I hope he sniffs the field in order to get a look at the next level. I think Bama sold him on that narrative.

EDIT: But Wait! I was just teasing guys. Raveon!!

      A few HSO's

      1: One big problem with the NIL (aka pay for play) is that the universities are what draw the fans, not the players. People argue that "they deserve a piece of the pie", etc., but the big money comes from rabid fans and alumni of the schools, not from fans wanting to watch certain players. I wish they would form a minor league football and see how much interest there is...wait, we already have that. It's called the XFL, USFL, UFL and the players don't make much money ($5,500/wk) and there aren't many fans at the games. Put the Rengades in Alabama uniforms and the Stallions in Auburn uniforms and you'd sell out AT&T stadium. Why, because the players don't matter, the universities are what matter (as it pertains to attendance). Another example is the NBA D-League. What kind of money are those guys making? (I'll save you the Google search, they make $25K/yr). I have to assume that's peanuts compared to many of the NIL deals players are getting. If you want to get paid, go pro. Nobody is making you go to college to get a free education that will benefit you for the rest of your life. 2: I hate the argument that "coaches make big money and can leave for another job whenever they want to." See the last two sentences of the previous point. If you want to be able to do that, go pro. Make it your career just like the coaches have done. There are a very limited number of head coaching jobs at the college level and these coaches have put in LONG hours and worked their way up to the positions that they are in. Nobody was giving them millions of dollars when they were a GA busting their tail for nothing.

      Those schools you mentioned have already reached out to The Big 12. Also Louisville and Pitt have 100+ year historic rivalries with Cincy and WVU respectively. Keg of Nails and Backyard Brawl will both be owned by the Big 12 soon enough.

      If they wanted to join the ACC, they would have joined with Cal and Stanford. We already tore the Pac 12 apart, the ACC is next.
