He has quickly become one of my favorite play by play commentators. One of the few bright spots of ESPN

To SMU

Was thinking about our biggest needs left in the portal likely being interior DL and LB.

Coincidentally those are two positions where we brought in 3 freshmen at each position that will all be here for spring.

If you’re managing to how you want to use your last few roster spots, wanting to ensure you don’t lose anyone in the spring portal that you might need, and also looking to give these freshmen a lot of early reps to see what you’ve got… this is the way to do it.

If the guys in the 2-deep are not ready, you bring someone in over them, if they are you can look at just adding more depth, or maybe 2 of the freshmen look like they’ll be ready day 1 and you can use that roster spot elsewhere.

We need 10 DL (including Buck) that we can count on. Right now I’d say we feel really good about Keldric, Blocton, and K Crawford. I think we feel decent about Dallas Walker, Zeke Walker, Chris Murray and Bobby Travis. And we are expecting Amaris to earn his NIL payday. That’s 8 not counting Waller, Phillips or any of the freshmen.

At LB we need 6 guys we can count on. Right now only Woodyard and Riddick really fit that description. I am sure we think Atkins can be a contributor and the coaches have seen what Barber can do for a year now. I believe we will move Joe Phillips inside since Buck is getting crowded. We can see what the 3 freshmen are ready for but this is the position I think we are most likely to look for an immediate contributor, likely a starter.

We're about a 10 point fav on the road. Don't know much about them.

Didn’t realize Elijah’s brother had joined us too

Streaming on Prime now. Pretty good sports movie. Guy demonstrated incredible perseverance. I’m probably partial to it as a former wrestler, but I think even people unfamiliar with wrestling and his story will enjoy it.

We are set to speak with Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl following the No. 1 Tigers rout of Mississippi State, 88-66.

Follow along and refresh for all updates.

*** You can't be anything but impressed. I thought our crowd was amazing. Students set a record for attendance in the building. Our first-shot defense was elite tonight.

*** Says it would be interesting to see what changes MSU would do if they meet again.

*** Chaney and Cardwell blocking all those shots. They really worked hard at defending without fouling.

*** Denver Jones: This is the second time Denver was locked on Hubbard pretty good.

*** Mentions Miles Kelly and Chaney were +35 in plus/minus

*** On keeping Hubbard and Matthews from scoring a field goal in first half: CBM, Miles, Denver, etc...are elite defenders. They just locked in, bought in. When MSU started making a little bit of a run, it was because we weren't locked in as much defensively.

*** On players stepping up and impression from team: We only turned it over 10 times and they had 7 steals. They turn you over. Our assist to turnover ratio wasn't great. Denver Jones made some 1-on-1 plays. So did CBM. Thinks the top 7 played great.

*** On Chaney bulking up: We look at film from last year, his hair is a little different, but the man is 25 pounds heavier this year. Mentions again that Chaney is his hardest worker.

*** Pearl says he trusts the guys to step up without Johni. Probably going to miss Johni more on the offensive end.

*** On the amount of runs they had in the first half: I think the fact that Chad, Tahaad, Denver and Miles, if they can see it, they are making it. The three-point shooting for those guys is off the charts.

*** Mentions Denver had 3 assists and no turnovers.

*** On Miles: Says he is getting more and more comfortable with his teammates and with the system. He understands what his role is and his importance.

*** On CBM 20 points on 11 shots: He's starting, and he's training locked in at practice. CBM has things you can't teach. There is an it factor in sports and he has it.

Do they seriously not realize this is the best roster Deboner will ever have at Bama? The coping has begun
