Men at 25 play football. Men at 40 play tennis. Men at 60 play golf. Have you noticed as men get older their balls get smaller.


I wish that were less believable.***

I thought it was David Kamara that committed. He was part of Robert K circus when they both were committed w/Wayne Gallman.

He eliminated Clemson from his list of finalists...

In fact, he specifically said, "I just didn’t connect with the coaching staff as a whole [at Clemson] and honestly couldn’t see myself living there for 3-4 years.”

Nick Saban and Dabo are friends. I would expect that Nick filled Dabo in on some things that helped shape the decision.

This is a classic case of hindsight. While he was good in the pros, he was not a as good as Gallman was at the time. There was absolutely no reason for Dabo to take him.

Proud of our coaches here. These are the kids that programs like Georgia and Tennessee welcome. Thankfully, we don’t.
