Best of luck to him. Hopefully he can take what he has learned in Tuscaloosa and be successful in the MAC.
A tough situation being in the QB "squeeze", with a consecutive-champ ahead of you and a stable of fresh highly-recruited talent behind you. He might in effect sit on the bench for a year at Alabama and then get overtaken next year. This is probably the right call for him, best wishes for him at Toledo.
Nice soft landing. None of the usual, guy leaving the program, limits on where he can go, rumors about the reason, school visits, choice made. This looks like it was handled behind the scenes with no drama. Process had to be blessed by Saban. Let's hope more end this way. Kid has a good attitude and I expect his experience will carry him far.
Ely told Bruce Feldman he also considered USF (that rumor came out in March or April), Illinois and Vanderbilt.
Hate it didn't work out for him, but he does have some rings to take with him. Best of luck to him, hopefully he can lead the Rockets to a championship.
Problem for Sims is he doesn't run our offense much better than the guys behind him. Phillip's transfer benefits A. Morris most. BTW: At A-Day Morris showed he can step into the Offense w/o major changes to our scheme.
Best of luck to him and I do suspect CNS put in a good word for him at Toledo. I expect with only 8 QBs left we will see more attrition by next spring.
