Re: DE / ATH Robert Nkemdiche Updates
Bull crap. Everybody wanted him, and there was a darn good reason they did, he's legit. To think he didn't committ to us because we didn't want him is just pure garbage. As much as I hate to say it, Bama isn't for everyone, and if for some reason he felt that Bama isn't the right place for him then so be it and I wish him well. I also hope that we get the chance to kick his butt some time in the future to remind him of what could have been. I do hope you were kidding, and if so I apologize, but seeing those words are one of my top pet peeves committed by fans.
All I can say is what a waste.
It's not a waste if he feels that this is the right decision. He has to do what's best for him, and if he's happy there then there is no waste at all. I would have loved to see him come to us, and I still hope we can pull him away, but to say that it is a waste is very premature.
Bottom line, he's a special athlete, and just the fact that we were (and still probably are) in the running for him should make us proud of our team and our coaching staff. Do you think we would have even been on his radar 6-7 years ago? Absolutely not. We've come a long way since then, and seeing us as a legitimate contendor for most of the top 10 recruits, even though I know most of whom will choose to go elsewhere, just goes to show why Saban is the best in the business.
It's a great time to be a Bama fan!!! Roll Tide
