Freshmen play early at UAB! #goblazers #ringthebell #chooseuab

I don't mind the effort. That's an easy sell to JUCO guys too. It's really about all we have to offer right now.

I'd rather see them selling the program hard than not trying.

I think it speaks for the lack of talent in the upperclassmen.

Don't let GN see that picture...

We need more efforts like this.

FRESHMAN!

At least they caught it halfway through making the graphic and didn't go back and fix the first two.

Remind me of the Meatloaf song w/ the line 2 outta 3 ain't bad

Wouldn't having that many young players in front of you be a bad thing. I would rather hear that we just graduate a ton of seniors.

I'm kinda hoping we don't play quite so many freshmen next year.

Play early because we run-off and under-develop our upper-classmen, while being too busy plugging in freshmen solutions that end up playing so much so early that they get injured or don't have the experience needed to win games. Every year, reloading...hoping to find those underclassmen gems.

The 'ol slash and burn technique.

If UAB runs anyone off, I hope they leave us in good academic standing unlike the ones Callaway ran off when he took over. We don't need to revisit the 60 scholarship limits any more -- once was enough. Some upperclassmen have performed well, but a look at our records for the last 4 years leave a lot to be desired. Since "hope springs eternal", we can hope for our 2014 class to make a positive difference for our team this fall.

As I understand transfer rules re APR:
If they don't graduate within a certain length of time at their new school, they may be charged to one of the two schools depending on their academic standing when they moved.

Why? That one freshman (to whom the author is obviously referring) is a beast! Reminiscent of Bob Stone of the olden times...

So is this a brochure that we will put on windshields in the parking lots at local high schools?

I wish that recruiting effort had a big picture of




in the center of it.

Well, of all folks, I didn't think I had to explain sarcasm to you.
