That center had a really rough game
He posted a classy message about loving Alabama and that the fans had been great. Must have ignored the fans that piled on after the most recent game.
He's a grad transfer. So maybe he really i$ leaving becau$e of academic$.

Yeah. Kind of surprised OSU signed him after that snapping debacle
We've got at least a couple transfers coming in that have previous P5 time. I like to think that the G5 guys that Cig has recruited are going to come in with a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They're getting a chance to play in the "big leagues" now. Who wouldn't jump at the opportunity to show up teams that overlooked you while playing on a much bigger stage?
A number of the JMU guys are from Virginia. Getting passed on by VA and Va Tech, then the multitude of neighboring state schools...time to shine.

From Alabama's fan page , apparently he's been doing this on & off all year long. OSU maybe projecting him for OG or Frye may feel he can fix the snapping. Anyway, he's gets another chance to face the Michigan defensive line
Honestly…..what % of IU’s roster under Allen was Big Ten material? Starting material?
Maybe a couple of the DL? Any of the OL other than maybe Katic?
1 out of the DB unit possibly.

Aaron Casey?
Donovan McCulley?
Jacob Mangum-Farrar?
Cam Camper?
I think a lot more were B1G caliber. But these four stand out as some pretty obvious ones to me.
There were a lot of players that were B1G caliber until the coaches brought in couldn't do the job and then long time coaches lost their mojo. There is a good LB playing for NY Giants from IU that coach Allen brought to IU. There are many others that BRB ignores.
For the most part they've been All-Sun Belt performers, so I'll gladly take them. I do admit being concerned about the size, or lack thereof, of some of them, but obviously they're good football players. NTM, many of the top transfers form the Sun Belt & other group of 5 conferences are routinely going to top power 5 programs.
The ranking system has become a joke. I equate what Sig is doing to Coach Knight (bringing in Junior College players) . . . it worked out nicely for ole IU on the basketball court. Granted, not all of them are outstanding but many are simply overlooked/ignored by bigger programs simply because they began their college playing days at smaller schools. I also think the recent uptick in smaller programs having success in the NCAA tournament can be attributed to the messed up ranking system. This doesn't pan out in football because the bowl/playoff system doesn't give smaller programs the opportunity . . . hell, FSU had a perfect season and couldn't get in (despite the fact their bowl performance confirmed the NCAA's decision).
The staff coming over ran a 4-2-5.
Yes it was attack style with a rover.
