IT reporting ATH Aeryn Hampton will sign with Alabama later today.

Bye bye drsma king…. I ssid this was gonna be a bunch of BS 3 months ago.
Look, i WANT recruits to go where they want. But this kid said a couple of days ago he was ‘100% coming “ to UT.”
Just go, youve done this **** for a year.

Edit: my angst is that a kid who wanted to cone hete might not have been recruited because if this. Go, get your money…but not signing day.

Is it a tactic to drive up the price?

I think we have to assume some people do that. It happens in business all the time.

If this is his true X site (seems as if there's more than one), then read it for yourself.

You’re right and I’m fine with that. If that is indeed the case, then why don’t we just pay it and move forward?

 

[Walking Boss]

I thought the same thing. Does it mean he’s been trained and taught how to extract more money?

Evan Stewart part II, maybe.

We'll see.

He’s asking for the Mack Brown curse. Did anyone warn him of the Mack brown curse? If not, he has no idea.

Guys,you got to remember we are dealing with 17 or18 year olds. I dont even want to remember all the mistakes I made at that age. Now the big money that has been inserted into the situation makes it even worse. We will be ok if we lose a couple.

Are we talking Ryan Wingo or Ryan Perrilloux?

Maybe even better off by whiffing on some kids
Team culture for Sark is non-negotiable and it’s what has gotten us to this point

Fong has been pretty consistant since he cb'd him to Tx.weeks ago.

Dion,We dont want the Herman culture back.

If I remember correctly, Hampton was the first commitment to UT class of 2024 over a year ago. And is definitely the “most often” committed recruit. DB island is no place for indecision. We have added other (higher regarded?) since he first came aboard. One who doesnt want to compete for a role, a guaranteed position, is anathema to our current culture. Several of our best players were not the highest priorities. They simply worked themselves onto the field.

Hampton has been a flipper from day one. He will live in mediocrity at bama.
We can use his spot for a lock down corner in the portal.

Normally, I would completely agree about losing a player surrounded by drama. But this is a top 20 player nationally, so he’s presumably a difference maker. And at a position of need for us next season and beyond.

I don't see him surviving Saban more than 2 years.

Imo, I think Mack and Wilson made Hampton expendable. I still wanted him to be in this class, but the DB haul this year was a plethora of riches for Texas. Two possible day one contributors or two deep guys in Filsaime and Black and three developmental ones in JJR, Mack and Wilson. Hampton would've been a developmental one, imo.

Agree! I would have wanted him, but he's farther down our priority list in all honestly

I agree that dude is expendable. I am focused on Wingo. My comments are related to him.
