Dang can't win em all, and I still like the talent that Sark has been able to add to the WR room through the portal with Bond, Golden, and Bolden along with the young guys like Wingo, Freddie, and Parker 🤘🏽 

Don't forget the '23 class. 

He’s not leaving HS early to ride the bench this season. Williams wants first team playing time.

This logic makes a lot of sense.  Only possible reason that he would ride the bench is if NIL can fill that void of playing time.

Would have loved having him, but he was never coming here imo . Question now is does he want $ from Freeze or wins from DeBoer? And yes Bama will pay as well for him.

As far as Lacy, never was concerned whether he came or not. QB will never be a problem to recruit her, and if so the portal always there as well.The timeline got pushed back with QE coming back. Lacy will end up at Bama , and we will be fine🤘

Yeah but reading Bama Boards etc I think last weekend changed that. I bet he ends up at Bama. Bond leaving opened up playing time and think he would kill in that offense.

Wish he would have at least came here for 1 visit . He went to A$M to visit. But got a feeling he and KJ end up at Bama. SEC recruiting gotta love it!

I’ll be nervous about Lacey until he signs.

I don’t think Lacey is coming in either. But I don’t think that impacts his recruitment either.

No clue on the DL coach hire at this point. I know Wright was a coach of some interest, but I do not know if he had ever been offered the job - even now.

Even if Wright was the candidate and would have taken the job, I don’t see this as some botch job by Sark. Sark is perfectly capable of finding a good DL coach who can coach and recruit. It’s not like they don’t exist out there.

I don’t say that to sound cavalier, just that I think people need to be patient and let the end result tell the story. And as of right now, there is no end result until someone is hired.

 

 

I bet Kacey and Williams are realizing even at the same school maybe they would only play one year together at best.

Now Ryan will have to hope for some QB and OC.

Chip Brown posted that Sarkisian has talked to two DL candidates today.

I never really had high hopes for Williams and totally understand why he would go with Bama or Auburn. We have some really good young talent and transfers at WR so this doesn't sting as bad.

What's great about what I am seeing from our program now is we are becoming a preferred destination for elite recruits rather than the last 10 years of hoping and praying we can get one 5 star.

I took recruiting during the Mack years for granted. I won't be doing that anymore. I love this team and the culture Sark is building for his players.
