Re: Potential QB Transfer Jacob Coker Updates

A little sad. He's not as cute in those photos above as in the other ones. He needs a haircut. The 70's called, they want their hairstyle back! :(

Re: QB Jacob Coker?

Doe sanyone who followed his recruiting rememeber why he was only a 3*? With his measurables and athleticism you would think he would be rated higher than that. Was there something holding back in the final rankings?
The evaluation process to determine "star power" of a HS athlete is very subjective and appears also to be dependent on which schools are recruiting him. If Chattanooga is recruiting a guy so what? However, if Coach Saban suddenly turns up in the same recruit's home, then his recruitment/star power is enhanced and he is more likely to get other top D1 schools looking at him.

If he comes to Bama then Rivals will retroactively make him a 5-star :)

Re: Potential QB Transfer Jacob Coker Updates

wish it was warmer for the visit. I always wonder if crappy weather hurts much on a visit.

EDIT: it appears that this writer is probably sourcing Cecil :)

Well that was quick. Last thing I heard was he was planning a trip "in the near future." Sounds to me that it will be a done deal by tomorrow afternoon...just needs to hit the books and graduate on time. The QB position just got stronger.

Sounds like as long as he picks up the offense and puts in work he is likely to be the starter. Does anyone know, can Bama send him our playbook for him to be learning? Not saying we would, just wondering is that is something we would do to give him a headstart before fall camp.

Recruits get the playbook after they sign. I'm sure Coker will get one.
