It was such a stupid move on his part to go to Bama in the first place. He's a DT QB who'd most likely be starting at Oregon right now.

Word is he wanted to be at SC but Ricky Town was the center piece to come in after Kessler and maybe Browne if he didn't beat Max out. Add to that, Sam Darnold as the capable back up / project in his class who's a better athlete and a leader(who would be perfect for ND's system by the way) and finally, he had no idea if Costello would pick SC right behind him so he bolted he didn't want to compete.

He chose ND and then Bama to get out of this market where he wasn't getting any respect.

I will admit, one of the few QB's I felt was more overrated than Barnett was Travis Waller. Had he gone to Oregon, he would have been in the catbird's seat for QB. Instead, it opened Oregon up for Waller and possibly saved Nd from taking him instead of Wimbush... if you can you imagine that.

So depending on who gets the SC job and depending if he thinks he can beat out Darnold down the road (which I think he wouldn't), I could see him going to SC, Oregon or even Cal with Goff leaving.

One thing is for sure, Bama was a bad move if he planned on staying but if he puts in a year there and then wants to transfer, it looks good on the resume.

He'd also be pushing for time at Notre Dame (he ee'd, right?).
Long term though, I love Wimbush.

He'd be the back up right now because there would not have been a Wimbush. The Irish were given a great gift when Barnett decided he needed "more".

Right. I meant that had he come here, with last spring under his belt, he could well be pushing Kizer for the starting job. I'd rather have Wimbush though.

I hope she's getting nailed by every surfer in Cali while he's playing grab ass with Joey Freshwater.

Top career highlight for Barnett so far...probably ever.

And that's just cause she's so damn hot.

Must be embarrassing asking your parents... or the bag man... for the cash for that rock.

SoCal boy goes to Alabama and hooks up with a New Jersey surfer? Makes sense.

He's been dating her since he was in high school.

What are you talking about? Perennial bench warmer gets hitched to Skylar Diggins.

You bite your tongue, sir!

Daniel Smith was the best damn blocking-only, when-he's-on-the-field-it's-a-dead-give-away Wide Receiver this team has seen under BK.

Bench-warmer my ass.

Congrats to those two.

A lot of guys in his situation get distracted and start thinking they're sampling ice cream flavors. But this kid has a good thing, recognizes it, and is sticking with it. Good man.

I was in Cape May last year and was randomly sitting next to this chick on the beach all day. I later learned that she was 17 at the time and I would have bet my life that she was 24 or 25. Total smokeshow, it was incredibly distracting.

He might be losing the QB derby at Alabama, but he's winning at life.

Nice grab Blake.

#winning

On a semi-related note, have any of you seen Cody Kessler gf? He might be winning da most in this competition. He needs to lock this one down more than his NFL career.
