I can’t believe I’m saying this but I miss when Bama / UGA were absolutely stacked with hard hitting NFL dudes on defense. It’s wild to me how they’ve fallen off on D despite their recruiting remaining elite.
Vernon, Devan Houston, Mukam, Gobaira, Tyson Ford, and Burnham were all 4 stars who could be significant roster contributors in 2025/2026 who busted / under performed for one reason or the other. Mix of bad injury luck and no development.
If even 3 of those guys hit we’re in a much different spot.
He got passed immediately by Hughes and then by Mullins (who really is undersized still for DT). He had his shot. I thought he would end up being a great development story but it hasn’t materialized.
ZERO mention about “maybe they shouldn’t have gotten in considering how they ended the season”. Any other program that’s what they spend the entire 4th on.
Sure, but it’s still directionally correct, and 247 tries to adjust with this with their updated transfer player rankings. Outside of Mendoza, it’s not like the rest of these guys were top flights transfers that Miami, Oregon, LSU, etc wanted...
Why OOC games are so important. They skated all year playing teams that aren’t close to the top of the sport player to player.
ARKANSAS would have the highest team talent in the B12!
While recruiting has been part of it, they’ve had horrendous luck / bad development with guys like Vernon, Houston, Gobaira, and Tyson Ford who you expect to be seniors / 5th years this coming year and contribute if not start. Literally all of those guys were 4 stars. Burnham is another guy who...
Here we go with the “thank god ND got left out”. Yeah the team that lost to them by 3 on the road week 1 definitely shouldn’t be in the playoff. Fucking idiots.
