Nick at the gang in New Jersey today to talk with Gary in hopes of him making a visit. Mom's earlier comments not promising.

Here.

I like our effort but just don't see it happening. Michigan and Harbaugh will be the lucky recipients of this guys talent.

It's not boot camp but it's called structure and discipline Mom.

Well at least Mom and The Man can talk.

I'll say this: her perspective of schools in the south, especially Alabama. If you are afraid of playing for the best, then its' not for you. I get that she was trying to look out for her son, but still... be open mind, and understand a degree from Alabama carry lot of weight as other schools.

Very strange comments from the mother. Would prefer that her son have fun than work hard?

Does she ever once mention that the decision is his in the end? Starting to wonder if she is a little too involved...:cool2:

That is what I thought too. She is saying how good of a school Michigan is, which makes me think it will be hard work in the classroom, but then says it is a lot of fun.

Bama has a highly regarded business school as well. If we can get him on campus, we might have a shot.

Mama's boy. LOL

Boot camp? What the heck does she think Jim Harbaugh has? You think Jim is all fun and games? Sounds to me that Harbaugh has sold them a bill of goods....did he spend the night at their house too and play board games with them? You better know what you are getting upfront, because if you think Harbaugh is going to be fun.....you are going to have a rude awakening.

Hey, Coach Saban and the process is not for everyone......but I have seen a lot of coach Saban's players win Championships, get drafted and graduate! More than most places.........

I have been in the Army, 24 years...what does she know about boot camp--has she been in the military? Its football and college, you have to work hard if you want to be better than everyone else or successful........

I played football (not college football), and other sports, and went to the University of Alabama and graduated. I also went to Basic training 24 years ago.......I would have enjoyed playing football for Coach Saban those months of my life, instead of Basic Combat Training.

Kongbo now visiting next weekend instead of this week.

A BOL premium article said we are turning up the heat on Mikhail Carter - big DT from GA.

Getting the last visit can be good but was hoping he would be here this weekend with the other big targets and commits.

NoNC4Tubs · Jan 20, 2016

What weekend is the Hulk going to be on campus? (Would be a huge plus if it coincided with Kongbo's visit.):cool2:

Good news, though - Bone just tweeted Jamar King will be on campus this weekend instead of next.

Tiderollin32 · Jan 20, 2016

Yep maybe a blessing in disguise for Kongbo. With less people on campus he can get more of a one on one type situation with all the coaches rather than just being another player on an official. Love that news on Jamar King because I believe this is his first real encounter with our staff and facilities.

Good point. Much more individual attention paid to the players next weekend than this weekend.

It also gives the staff more time to feel out how they feel about all the DL prospects and if they need to put on the full court press on Kongbo.....Not sure they want 2 JUCO DL though, but they may feel they cant pass on Kongbo regardless of what happens with King and any other HS DL. Kongbo wants to make a difference immediately.

Bama was said early on they would sign 27-28 .....but now with a lot of guys returning that they thought might leave....probably changed the numbers plan. He always works it out, so if needed they will go over 25.....

King and Kongbo replaces Reed and Robinson... I like that.

Good point about the JUCO thing but I think they are both definitely takes no matter what. Sort of like when the staff took reed and pettway out of JUCO in the same year. And the way we rotated the d line immediate help is a big plus.

Yea that bigun was there last weekend. That is a big boy that someone has had to feed at home. Wow, I'm glad I didn't have to feed him. He is definitely a space eater and once he loses some weight will be a good one.
