    Gotcha but wasn’t that a foregone conclusion for about a week?

    He went to Auburn, not A&M, and he also isn't an LB.

    He said we lost Williams to A&M because of Bateman, going there only one Williams went A&M and that was Isaiah.

    Yeah, that’s why I was initially confused by his post. I thought Williams signed with Auburn but with yesterday’s chaos I was thinking maybe I missed something. Wouldn’t be the first time LOL

    I understand that, I said he was a DL, and I’m aware he signed with Auburn. I was only responding to Swampbabe’s confusion not EbSaxman’s.
    I understand why she was confused, but we did lose two players named Williams. Izaiah Williams was signed at the last minute with Texas A&M (although it was rumored a couple of days before) Amarais Williams was gone long before signing day his leaving had nothing to do with Bateman but he does appear to be who EbSaxman was referring to.

    In 2 years he pulled in Chiles and Robinson. Graham would have signed with Florida if I was coaching the LBs. That’s not good enough. If he kept his LB class together this year I would change my tune.

    Winning will fix the narrative. Everything looks worse when you're 5-7.

    Yeah!! Just as odd as them hiring Dumbo Fisher and paying him $100 million. They must be on to something!

    heard Williams was Spencer's territory so he may have been Williams primary, Spencer was fired immediately after the season and went to TAM ....connect the dots

    Ex players and players really liked him. He changed Burney in literally 1 year. This is a loss.
