Re: TE Brenden Scales Decommits from Alabama, Flips to Mizzou
Oh...wait...that assumes they can read. Never mind.
Well said. I wish every talking head would read this.Because it's not true. Who do you believe? The former players who say that's not how it works AND the coaching staff who say that's not how they do business, or a couple of recruits who clearly felt under-appreciated.
Saban has a proven record of how he treats players. His former guys love him. They talk glowingly about him all the time. He's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but when it comes to the issue of greyshirts, the evidence of any wrongdoing simply doesn't exist.
And as far as a lack of empathy, I haven't seen any. These kids aren't walking around with their hands tied behind their backs. They can wait 4 months and enroll at Alabama, or they can enroll at whatever other school is offering them a scholarship. At no point are they ever left high and dry. They get a free education and the opportunity to play football wherever they go. If there seems to be a lack of empathy that's because there's nothing to be empathetic about.
