Has he earned his degree? If he has there is not much keeping him in school. He has to do what he thinks is best for him and his family. Best of luck to him.

I recall Herbie saying during the SECCG this year - just after Hubbard sacked Aaron Murray - that, in response to his having had asked whether we had someone to potentially replace a Courtney Upshaw-type player, one or more of our coaches [unnamed, of course] told him that Hubbard could be that guy, "if he ever gets it..."

FWIW...

This sort of reminds me of when Aldon Smith came out of Mizzou. Not great stats but then had a hell of a combine and the raw athleticism and potential and San Fran picked him at 7 (that worked out for them)...not saying he goes that high or is that good but his measurables are going to be really good. Also, the last 2 games have helped him and Lacy big time.

You can't blame these guys for wanting the money however, Hubbard really needs another year, IMO. We just never had the kind of pass rush as last year & that put a lot of pressure on the DB's that were already very young.

I wish him the Best but I hope he comes to the decision that he could be one of the VERY TOP picks next year with Great performance & all the exposure Alabama offers.

He hasn't though yet, he's about there though.

Skip Carey, the beloved late announcer for the Atlanta Braves once said about potential......"If they say you have potential that means you're not good enough yet."
I miss Skip Carey..He was awesome..It's hard to live up to the "Legend" of his dad..He did though & became a "Legend" in his own right..

Spot on! Haven't seen that quote in a long time...
Carey was probably the funniest announcer I've ever heard because his humor was so dry.

I remember once, years ago, he was calling an NBA game and he paused and whispered into the microphone..."Folks, excuse me just a second, I've got to sneak a drag off this smoke"..

Most every game he had at least one classic one liner...

"Braves down 2 and 2 on. A three run homer sure would be good here." No duh, Skip. :)

As far as Hubbard, this kinda of shocked me. He needs to return and I hope he is comfortable returning because the coaches seemed to be very high on him.
