Khalid Kareem to Bama
Disappointing, but best of luck to Khalid at Bama.
At least there's some good news possibly on the way later today.
Also: As a few posters in the comments below have said, Allen Trieu said Khalid was one of the "silent commits" that we've been hearing about over the past few weeks. Only 7 months til signing day!
they've been in his top group for months
A kid can list a school in his top group all he wants but it doesn't mean anything without reciprocation from the school. It's been known that Bama made a strong push for Kareem down the home stretch (in the last few weeks).
Love how everyone thinks its a bagman that beat us out for a kid...this place
When we poach people: "WOW GREAT RECRUITING"
When we miss on someone "LOL CASH $$$$ BAGMEN SEC"
He sounded like he was trying to contain his excitement when he spoke about Bama when he was discussing the three schools. I was hoping I was reading too much into it...but guess not.
Like...literally? I'm not interested in that all.

They recruited Kareem as a Jack.
Now, I think they are selling something that isn't necessarily true (they recruited Hand as a Jack and he ended up on the DL) and that Kareem will eventually end up playing the 5 technique. But I think he would have at Michigan as well (Michigan was recruiting him as a Buck).
Alabama does often sell playing time, frankly because so many kids leave early and they redshirt very few FR. So he may have bought into that line of thinking, which they can sell based on the past, but I'm not sure applies to Kareem who I think is more of a project.
Tough loss, Michigan is going to have to find some DEs somewhere. Oh well, onto the next.
yeah not sure he knows what he just got into. but hopefully he surprises everyone by stepping up and earning PT next few years
he said he thought Michigan lead at one point, but with the recent visits he didn't know what Kareem would do.
Absolutely not, at least not in the last week or so and not this morning. In fact, he said today that if distance wasn't an issue, he thought Kareem would commit to Alabama. Apparently distance was said to be an issue, but obviously that didn't turn out to be the case.
Good luck kid.
, you're gonna need it

That's immature
Can we stop with the SEC payz stuff every time a kid commits to an SEC school over Michigan? God forbid someone actually chooses Alabama (which has won 3 NCs in the last 6 years and has one of the best, if not the best, coaches in the country) for legitimate reasons.
No. Nope. This rationale makes me feel better. Besides, the SEC brings this on themselves by actually paying their players.

Solid comment!
Best of luck to Khalid.
ESPN and whatever streaming service they used really stunk for this announcement.
it was nucleus. should've used pied piper.
Someone is not a fan on Silicon Valley...
That ESPN recruiting broadcast online was brutal....
That damn earthquake simulator. How can we compete with that and early playing time!?
I don't give a fuck about any of the recruits that don't commit to Michigan. I don't wish them good or bad luck. They mean nothing to me. On to the next one.
Communicating nuance in writing, obviously something that went over your head as well...

Did you ever stop to think that he was talking about someone else?
I just need to lower my expectations, and I'll never be disappointed.
How about no expectations. Works for me.
