In the same letter, dated June 3, 2011, Ameen Najjar even suggested that the NCAA could eventually hire Shapiro.

"Eight of the top-10 teams in the country will be there competing, and it’ll be a good indicator of how successful we can be," Seawell said. "It’s why you go there. We’ll have to be really sharp." Sophomore Justin Thomas, who as a freshman won the 2012 Haskins award given to the nation’s top golfer, agreed with Seawell.

They’re still intense and they cheer hard for us, but I think they’re polite. There’s none of that in Baton Rouge."

The Alabama Experience: Battle of the Backups | MCLA FAN
Nick and I combined for 40 saves on the day. Even though we lost, I was still happy for both of us and especially proud of him. He played phenomenally and we both were able to make some tremendous saves for our teams. It is my honest opinion that Nick deserves a spot on the SELC All-Conference team this season.
