Good News Thread

[Bamabuzzard]

As I said in another thread, the players who left eating their grapes and sitting in flashy cars just galvanized those that stayed. They lit a fire that mire than likely e the fire that burns them at some point.

Tennessee is in pretty decent shape right now, bad as I hate to admit it. The barn on the other hand has MUCH bigger fish to fry. Carnell Williams.....Caddy....the biggest barner cheerleader on the planet...the one who stepped in after the Harsin disaster...him....HE doesn't want to be there anymore. He weathered some very tough storms there. He rode it out with them and now even he threw his hands up and said goodbye and good luck. That speaks volumes. So if they think that Saban retiring automatically turned us into Vanderbilt and them into Georgia....then they have somehow actually grown stupider

He was a redshirt freshmen last year at Washington he is 6-6 226 lbs. played at Folsom high school in California.

I wonder if he’s ever been to Reno

... I gotta say, Cajun, that's really a stretch. 😄

... and, by stretch, I don't mean 99 to life. 😉

Jake Browning is probably who you’re thinking of. Jonah Williams is also a Folsom High alumnus.

Jonah Williams is who I was thinking of. Thanks

The good news is Bama is still Bama and has risen from the ashes before and will do so again. The program is bigger than any single player or coach. Step away from the edge and give it time. I'm excited to start the new era and can't wait for Spring training and the regular season.

2 players have tweeted "Big News Coming Soon!" I can only guess this is good news. Just don't know what. Anyone know what it might be about?

Mbakwe has been with Ryan Williams most of the day. I really hope he’s back on board. Signing Williams could be a huge momentum swing for us right now.

That may be it.

Would be huge if he recommitted and then canceled all remaining visits.

Five-Star Plus+ WR arrives for Alabama official visit

Quote from Williams in the above article:

“I’m very interested in the new hire. Looking at his track record and what he’s done with offenses and how explosive they were,” Williams said. “That’s definitely something of interest to me, and I’d love to stay home. He told me that I was a priority for him with the way his offense is set up, and I would fit right in and make a lot of plays.”
“He knows what it takes, and he’s going to continue the culture and the Alabama standard. It’s not going to drop off one bit, and he just wanted me to understand that I could have a big role in that. I have open eyes and I want to hear them out. It’s just about building a relationship as fast as possible because I have a relationships with other coaches around t he country, so if that’s somewhere I’m considering, I need to have that. I love Alabama, I was committed there for a year for a reason. They definitely still have a shot.”...

Good news is Caleb Downs went to Ohio State instead of Georgia.

Quote from Williams in the above article:

Well, it sounds like CKD and staff are showing him how he would fit into the offense and the track record of his offense. Relationships are big, because it makes kids feel at home or not. That seems to be the priority #1 for him. So they need to get it done.

I’m a little older than you and I remember when good seasons were few and far between. This program was in the wilderness after Stallings and before Saban. We have been incredibly spoiled over the last decade and a half. I feel that we have a coach who has what it takes to follow a legend

mea culpa. I felt like the team was in good hands and was set to win.

i remember the Bryant years very clearly and everything in between. The good aspect of our situation now is that we will have renewed interest in the team and we will enjoy wins with gusto rather than a yawn.

One last reliance on Saban and his judgement would be to understand Saban would not let a poor choice take over his team…My guess is he’s fully on board with DeBoer.

It will eventually come out that Cadillac didn't leave on his own, he was shown the door. Stay tuned...
