Here's a look at how Ole Miss and Alabama look on paper via their high school star ratings.

I don’t believe we do. I feel like he committed so more teams would start offering NIL deals. It can’t have anything to do with our OC.

Nate Oats has harped on the defensive end of the floor more than the offensive side, which has surprised the newcomers, including Rylan Griffen.

Feagin gives insight on his top-five ahead of his Nov. 20 commitment.

I spent Friday night at Brookwood HS as many as you may have noticed, in an effort to talk with him about everything Alabama, who he is working on recruiting, and what his thoughts are on his potential future in baseball.

Things shifted a bit in regards to my plans on Thursday night when I found out that he was injured, and would be at the game Friday but would not be playing.

Lonergan has had one opinion thus far on his toe injury, and will receive a second one on Tuesday before deciding which next step to take.

A surgery would likely end his senior season, while playing through it and letting it naturally heal may be an option as well.

Lonergan was truly bummed watching the game from the sidelines, especially when time was running out and the game was much closer than it would have been had he played.

There's also been a renewed push from one of his former top schools, Georgia Tech. With them recruiting his teammate, Bryce Dopson (Alabama track target, GT has offered in football) the staff deciding to shoot their shot with Lonergan.

Unless something drastically changes at Georgia Tech (they beat UGA, develop big NIL money, etc.) there is nothing for Alabama fans to worry about on that end, but they are going to keep pushing.

Full story to come, but wanted to share.

I just looked at the Polls and all is not lost, yet, although it is a long shot scenario. I just hope the team can bounce back from the disappointment, but it would not shock me if we lost again this weekend. Here is where things stand:

• Georgia (9-0)
• Ohio State (9-0)
• Michigan (9-0)
• TCU (9-0)
• Tennessee (8-1)
• Oregon (8-1)
• LSU (7-2)
• USC (8-1)
• Alabama (7-2)
• Clemson (8-1)

In front of us, USC must play UCLA and Probably Oregon in the PAC 10 championship game. Lets say USC loses that would move us up to 8.

LSU must play Texas A&M, Arkansas and Georgia. If LSU loses, which they probably will, we move to 7.

Oregon, what if they lose to Oregon State and then beat USC, we could move to 6.

Tennessee is not going to slip up, so they are probably in.

TCU loses to Texas and in the BIG12 Championship game. , we move to 5

All of the above scenario's are probable, but could happen, so now we are looking at a big fluke, of what happens if Michigan or Ohio State stumble in one of the last two games, which is not going to happen, then beats the other, but loses to Illinois in the BIG10 championship game. I would say with 99% certainty that the events will not happen, but then again remember 2007. I think the best we can hope for is to advance to #5, but stranger things have happened.

I guess I am kind of like an aide the General Lee right before Lee went to the Appomattox Courthouse, thinking there was still a chance that Grant would surrender, so call me an idiot, but I( will keep hoping until the Fat Lady sings. The final song may well be Saturday.

I do not hide the fact that I can not stand having BoB as Bama's OC, but he gives me all the ammo I need to continue to despise his play calling. When Bama gets into the red zone there are not crossing routes, no rub route plays, no moving BY out of the pocket, no motion that confuses the defense. Just line up and ask your players to beat a man one on one in and area that is easier to defend because of the stinking field of play.

Heck on the 2-point conversion plays, why not run a few rub plays to get a man open. If they call the penalty, you just back up and take the extra point, it's worth the risk of the refs calling it because you still have at least 1 point in the bag. I haven't gone back to look at LSU's two point conversion play, but when I saw in in live time, I thought they ran a pick play. That was a great designed play that put stress on the defense. We just hope BY can run around until someone pops open.

Since the second quarter of the Arkansas game, Alabama's Offensive has really only operated on the basis of the individual in play adjustments of our QB's and their audible ability. We have a QB that is on a pitch count in practice and we call upon him to throw the ball 51 times against LSU and we wonder why he gets arm tired? Think about that and who is responsible?

It is time for him to go

our best 5 looked like bradley, griffen, miller, clowney, and bediako. burnett will settle in and be fine and sears has got to quit forcing everything. miles and gurley did not look good. pringle will help off the bench. when our shots start falling, we will be hard to beat. getting welch and quinerly back will help our 3-point shooting. going to be a fun team to watch. roll tide

During Wednesday's SEC teleconference, Kiffin talked about his relationship with Saban and the challenges Alabama poses prior to Saturday's game in Oxford.

Who can come up with the most realistic intriguing bowl matchup? I’ve got one that’s been playing out in my mind.

1) Alabama used their length, athleticism, and team speed to dominate Longwood in every aspect. This is the best defensive performance I’ve seen from an Alabama team in a while. They forced a really good shooting team to 27% shooting and had 8 blocks. They altered a lot of shots as well, and also did a great job hedging and communicating on screens. You didn’t see many guys get lost or left wide open.

2) The freshmen dominated. The freshmen combined for 48 of the Tide’s 75 points. Brand Miller’s debut finished with 14 points and 14 rebounds. While he didn’t shoot the ball well from deep, he has such length and athleticism on both ends. The shots will fall for him. Jaden Bradley, Noah Clowney, and Rylan Griffen all performed phenomenally.

3) Alabama shot the ball poorly from deep (3/28) and committed 19 turnovers, but chalk that up to first game rust and having a brand new team. They had a lot of great looks and several were halfway down and out, but there will be better shooting nights ahead. Alabama dominated the boards 62-35 and scored 48 points in the paint.

Overall a great result against a team predicted to win their conference. A lot to clean up, but you don’t want your team playing their best ball in the first game. Next up is Liberty at home on Friday.
