Being honest - this one hurts. Hill is legit

It's so nice to finally have a coach who can recruit !

I'm beginning to think no one is safe with Deboer and this staff at the helm. No sarcasm intended!
Now we know why Grady wasn't pursue or push after the reevaluation. This staff has their targets in sight and are relentless in getting them!

Agreed and good point on Grady SJC. It seems we have only lost one battle (Sharma) over the past 45 days and everybody seems to be picking the Bama "hat".

Given OSU’s recent history with defensive linemen the fact they wanted him means a lot.

The OSU people seem to think the lack of Jack/Wolf defenders on their defense is why he chose us over them.

Auburn, Tennessee, LSU and Georgia, among others, are in a state of DeJa'Vu thinking "oh no, not again."

Their defense, or Alabama’s? Bama’s two edge guys are gone, and if there was ever a chance to get very early playing time it would be with a new coach, new scheme, and little returning experience.
