    it sure what capacity he truly served so not sure what those quotes indicate. Perhaps @shane0911 csn elaborate since he follows Bama & TerryP closely.

    It means AINO. It's a way to get coaches on the staff without it counting against the coach limit. Saban never went over the allowable number but he has the largest "staff" in college football. Sardrunkian coached. He wasn't analyzing shit.

    That should bring Terry out of hiding.

    I know SC fans were mixed on BKU as a coach when they felt the DL underperformed, but that would make a lot of sense. Ed has to know Meatball is in over his head and hiring Kenechi would certainly bolster our DL technique. It's been used against us in recruiting.

    There was conflict between Pendergast and Udezi which is why he ended up in the booth most games.

    Not sure if it's related at all but could number shuffling be started with the decommitment of Navarette? Hell he only committed what, a month ago? Now headed to Eugene next year. Maybe someone else from 2019 will blueshirt.

    So what is a blueshirt?

    Blueshirting is an NCAA rule exception for oversigning that began at New Mexico State, which allows athletes to practically serve as early enrolling grayshirts, as long as the recruiting class is full.

    They are eligible to both enroll and play during the initial fall semester following their high school graduation or junior college transfer, but are not counted as an incoming scholarship player until the following year’s recruiting class.

    In order to count towards the next allotment of scholarships, blueshirts begin as walk-ons and are not brought on scholarship until after the first day of fall camp.

    It’s a contrast from grayshirts, who are not permitted to enroll or play immediately out of high school.

    The biggest distinction for blueshirts however, is that the rule interpretation mandates that the players in question are not recruited.

    That is defined by the NCAA as not having any of the following: an official visit to the school or a letter of intent issued for the student athlete to submit.


    If neither of those have occurred, the player is eligible to be a blueshirt beginning the day after fall camp starts. At that point, he may be awarded a scholarship and counted forwarded to the next year’s recruiting class.

    Just replaced Navarette with 4 star LB Josh White from Houston hope he honors his commitment on signing day. Was offered 27 scholarships including by Bama.

    The words Saban and largest "staff" seem like a contradiction in terms, right @TerryP?
