Agreed on all that. There's no reason to offer up front money to prep school players. Can't pay him more than proctor or brailsford, roberts or even Pritchett or formby. Just to have have haywood red shirt.
You know this is what I just can't understand, kid grew up a Bama fan but looking at Michigan, I get that these times it's about money, but I'm old school, I grew up a huge Bama fan and still am so if I'm offered a scholarship to Bama I'm done but not that way anymore with highschool kids
I love OSU and Alabama, but if one of my boys was offered $10MM to play for Michigan, I would drive him there and help him pack.
Well, on to someone else......I'm sure the portal will have some
Michigan has two desperate billionaires facetiming high school kids and making promises without the coaching staffs consent. Nothing really to get.
That's my take. HS recruiting has changed dramatically in the portal era. More apt to pass on a HS player for immediate help from a college veteran in the portal and get a second shot at the same player after development elsewhere down the road.
Being that Haywood said that Bryce Underwood is his primary recruiter, I would say their interest has been recent. Portnoy and the Oracle twins are ruining college football. I can see underwood going to Michigan, he is a native son. But not Haywood.Unless he is bought.
No sense in either being surprised or getting upset. Currently it’s simply completely unfettered minor league pro ball. Just a bunch of hired hands.
Ahh. Should have though of that.
Wow. Keelon's stat line in the top division of Texas HS football is beyond incredible.
We need him to be the real deal.
Come on, life changing money and you don’t understand that? That being hype and hypocritical at least a little isn’t it?
He'd still get "life-changing money" at Alabama. The problem, as it is with all humans, is "more". We have a problem with "more".
Auburn folks do not expect starr in their class at this point. He will be signing somewhere else. From what i hear its us and vandy with bama the likley spot.
Do you mean “more” money? If he gets a couple more million at Mich he would be stupid not to take it. You wouldn’t turn down a mil more would you?
Griffin looks slow (for his 257 lbs) on his highlights video: https://tdalabamamag.com/2024/09/09/alabama-first-power-4-program-to-offer-timothy-griffin/
Poke, I agree that Bama will get Starr. Fegans will probably stay with the barn esp. with the history between his older brother and Bama but give him credit to even entertain our staff.
