Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (A disaster followed by.... not sure)

[Ketchum]

I think we were mainly debating this topic in say a 1 - 3 year horizon as NIL and the Portal totally shake out. The debate being will/will not these big changes in CFB motivate Saban to retire earlier than reasonably necessitated by the natural effects of aging. And some of us saying - only if he loses the sizable competitive advantage he has created at Bama and starts losing a handful of games every years.

Otherwise, "Father Time" is likely to get him in the not to distant future - although he looks to be in pretty good shape for being 70.

He's in great shape for 70.

Xavion Alford transfer sucked thought he was going to be a good player and it was our biggest hole arguably last year. He was walking into a starting job for his hometown team, instead he leaves for a staff that was walking dead, and now he got a new one that doesn't know him and will replace him with a portal transfer quick.

That and the high end D line talent we got that year that hasn't really put it all together stands out. That group was more than just some mid 4 stars, 5 stars and high end 4 stars should be at minimum good starters or your best players.

It wasn't as high end as you remember.

I'm going by Rivals rankings that you just posted, not my own memory. Or are you now saying 5.9 is not a high end player?

It's not really.
