Nailed it...If there is anyone left that has any uncertainties as to why CNS retired, just have them read the last four or five posts in this thread.

Hey Jess, so now it's Sunday night, 1/12/25. Are we about done with all the comings and goings for now. I can't keep track of all of it. In your opinion, did we end up in a better or worse position going into 2025.Back home from being out of town a few days, we've got the original post updated as of 1/10/25. The only two players without a destination at the moment are WR Jaren Hamilton and S King Mack.
I can’t see where/how it would be relavent in the New World Order that’s now “ college “ athletics.Is APR still a thing?![]()
I mean last year Alabama Signed Steve Mboumoua and he apparently didn't qualify and went to jr college (he resigned with us a month back). But aside from him I don't recall hearing of any player not qualifying. If you dropped serious cash for a player they aren't going to let academics get in the way. After Ohio State wins the next 4 national championships they will clamor for a salary cap and termed contracts which will essentially make the players employees which cannot be tied to academic performance or even participation and will also fall under equal opportunity laws which means eligibility will be a thing of the past. At that point college football will essentially be a direct competitor to the NFL. I can see Alabama vs Dallas Cowboys being a pretty good TV draw.Is APR still a thing?![]()

Steve qualified academically. English is his 3rd language (he's French Canadian and an imigrant from Cameroon) and he didn't pass the english proficiency test. Did a year at juco and he's good to go.I mean last year Alabama Signed Steve Mboumoua and he apparently didn't qualify and went to jr college (he resigned with us a month back).

…and he’s a physical specimen!!!Steve qualified academically. English is his 3rd language (he's French Canadian and an imigrant from Cameroon) and he didn't pass the english proficiency test. Did a year at juco and he's good to go.
I've been told we've got 1-2 more we're looking at that we are waiting on the championship game to finish up first. The portal will open for OSU and Notre Dame for 5 days after the conclusion of that game.Hey Jess, so now it's Sunday night, 1/12/25. Are we about done with all the comings and goings for now.

I hate it for ND and OSU.I've been told we've got 1-2 more we're looking at that we are waiting on the championship game to finish up first. The portal will open for OSU and Notre Dame for 5 days after the conclusion of that game.
Where’s that blue font, Jack?I hate it for ND and OSU.
I hear that Jeremiah Smith guy is pretty good. He could be a good target to go after from Ohio State.I've been told we've got 1-2 more we're looking at that we are waiting on the championship game to finish up first.

Let’s not shoot for the Moon and settle down for a Downs guy.I hear that Jeremiah Smith guy is pretty good. He could be a good target to go after from Ohio State.![]()
I found that interesting because There isn't anyone that would be interested in us. We'll see after tomorrow.I've been told we've got 1-2 more we're looking at that we are waiting on the championship game to finish up first.

Why do you say nobody would be interested in Bama? NC game is on Monday.I found that interesting because There isn't anyone that would be interested in us. We'll see after tomorrow.
I've been on TDY for so long I forgot what day it is.Why do you say nobody would be interested in Bama? NC game is on Monday.
Any backup who wants more money and or playing time who serves a needI've been on TDY for so long I forgot what day it is.
It just seem like weird fit. If we're looking at ND... who do we want off the roster? OSU? If so, I would think it's for DL spot or OL spot.
I dont know............playing time sounds goodI found that interesting because There isn't anyone that would be interested in us. We'll see after tomorrow.
Notre Dame did not get to the championship game by accident. There are definitely guys on that roster.I don't know about ND's roster, but there's a bunch of ballers on TOSU's team. If any of their receivers want a change of pace, I'd take 'em. They are so loaded a back up for them could become a star at Bama. Remember Jameson?
