Re: Marlon Humphrey in the News in NC

I think it boils down what sport and how much Time you have devote to it, and make up of the player, Bo jackson did very well, and what he did with two totally different sports was great. It is possible!
Yep, and Bo didn't even like to practice lol

Re: Marlon Humphrey in the News in NC

Julio is also the most perfect physical specimen I believe I've ever seen, and on top of that, he works his butt off to get more and more awesome every single week. I honestly don't think there's a better receiver in the N.F.L.
Calvin Johnson?
Larry Fitzgerald?
Roddy White?

Julio isn't the best WR in the NFL. He's one of the best but not the best.

A lot of people would argue that but I see him a lot on television. He's pretty darn dominant and Atlanta became a whole lot better as soon as he arrived. Love me some Julio.
Because he caused defenses to take a defender off of White and Gonzalez. Easier for Ryan to distribute the ball when defenders aren't doubling White, Julio or Gonzalez.

Good person, dedicated, character, smart, great example for kids...the epitome of what Nick Saban strives to develop in a young man.
Do you personally know Julio? Otherwise, we can't say how dedicated or smart he is. Joe Paterno was a great example for plenty of people until it was revealed he covered up a child sex scandal. My point is - we shouldn't put athletes or coaches on pedestals unless we personally know them.

Re: Marlon Humphrey in the News in NC

Kinda chippy on the board today...

Can't speculate on guys lining up together in the same backfield? Check.

Can't offer our opinion on guys like Julio? Check.

I have to agree. To me there are none better than Calvin Johnson. He is just a freak of nature period.

CB Marlon Humphrey Updates

Few threads floating around on this one, so let's merge and consolidate here.

Marlon has made it pretty clear that he is going to take his sweet time, but I think it is pretty clear where this one is headed. And given our issues at cornerback, Humphrey could be arguably the most important signee in this class. If he is as good as billed, he could easily see a true freshman role like Milliner did.

he may see time as a freshman, and he is an amazing talent for sure... but I'd rather him have a year in the system to acclimate to the speed of the game...i remember milliners struggls his freshman season. he learned and developed from it, but it didnt help the team his first season. Corner is such a critical position, and not a simple position in Sabans Defense either.

Hopefully some of our current players, and we have several very talented options, will take the baton and humphrey can have a year to develop, acclimate o college, learn the system before being thrown into the fire.

Marlon isn't going to wait a year. He'll play next season if he comes to Bama. Like Milliner and Kirkpatrick, he'll only be in college 3 years.

I agree with you on that, but realistically I don't think depth chart considerations will allow it. With Belue and Fulton being seniors, and Sylve and Washington looking like they will never be ready for prime-time, he's going to be forced into action if he is anything near what he has been billed.

And if Cook doesn't qualify, things are going to get really hairy...

I agree. Marlon is such a great athlete and is so fast you can't keep him off the field.

I saw on Fox6 last night that he went to a national track meet and easily won the 110m hurdle and 400m hurdle against other top national talent. The guy is a freak athletically and I think he will be all Bama come February (if not before).

Re: CB Marlon Humphrey Updates

The thread says there is an update on the fourth page. What is the update? I am a blind squirrel looking for that nut!

Update is my post on page four, i.e. that Humphrey is going to take his time (and visits) before making any decision, but that it seems pretty clear that he will be signing with Alabama in the end.
