He made his choice live during the Under Armour All-American game tonight. He's a top prospect and can play on either side of the ball *receiver/defensive back) in college. Stated in his interview he wanted to play offense.

I'll admit that I don't follow recruiting closely, but it has to be a good sign for the future that we're even competing with Bama for recruits right?
I wish we could get into these guys heads to know what they are thinking. If there something else bama has that we don't? Is bama offering something we won't?
Maybe
Bama pays more?
umm
without even going illegal ...
tradition, championships, player development for their top guys who are gone in 3 yrs with the top coach in the sport.
Uhh
We offer that. Except maybe National Championships. We have plenty of guys in the NFL that are starters. Maybe it isn't about what the football team offers.
we haven't had the top picks that Alabama has. And the history and tradition doesn't even compare..
Yep
Yes they are... Cash and a car...lol
The offer
A chance to get grey-shirted and lose out on a year.
Oversigning is so amoral, I really feel bad for those kids who get screwed every year, but they'll never learn.
The Kid
said he wanted to play offense. Im sure we could have easily used him there but recruiters more than likely oggled over his defensive prowess. To hate or be disappointed by his decision is asinine. I hate those that berrate the kids over the real shortcomings in the school or recruiting efforts. I know it sucks that we aren't the first choice. Nonetheless, more and more we are at least getting in the final numbers. It may not be enough if we arent finally chosen. however, it does show promise.
