Question: Could Pat Milliner not follow his brother to UA?

time_4_the_TIDE · October 12th, 2009, 05:47 PM

I noticed today on scouts.com that Pat has LSU ranked as high interest, as well as BAMA. Could he really choose LSU over BAMA?? Does he really want to play against big brother? He is a WR too so it is pretty certain Demarcus would have to shut him down if he went to LSU.

It would be a shock if he went anywhere but Bama. A mother having 2 sons playing at different schools at the same time presents a problem. Plus his visiting his brother several times at the UA will give him a sense of belonging.

I don't know about his choice, but I talked to his cousin before Demarcus announced. His cousin said that Pat is supposed to be even better than Demarcus. Just some info I was given...

I've heard a few times that Pat has outshined his brother. I don 't know if he'll be seen as an elite player from a skill position standpoint as I haven't really seen his talents, but no doubt he is a burner.

It is a long way to signing day for this years recruits much less guys who are JRs in High School right now. A lot can happen before they sign and I'm sure there are a lot of schools that look interesting. But watching his brother play at a top school less than two hours from home is sure to be a big influence. They have a pretty close relationship apperantly. Here is a good article on Pat: click here

Nice read man, thanks for posting. I was thinking no way he doesn't come to BAMA with his brother unless Saban just didn't offer. After reading that, it looks like they are really close and lean on each other a lot. I would say now no matter what the recruiting sites say if he gets an offer he will be with his brother. Something tells me Demarcus' commitment might have been a package deal from the beginning.

If Coach Saban wants Pat Milliner at Alabama, it's hard to see him going anywhere but Alabama. The chances are even better with his brother being in Tuscaloosa too. All of this, and the LSU offense isn't exactly looking great at this point.

I think Bama should go ahead and lock this kid down.

He is prolly already locked down....after reading GrandBayTider's link (unless it is just a feel good article) I'd be willing to make a small wager that Demarcus' commitment was contingent on Saban offereing his little brother as well. Seems like Demarcus takes his looking after little bro very seriously and will do anything to insure his success as well as his own. Pretty much made me wish I hadn't started the thread. Although I wouldn't have learned more on the situation without it.
