Maybe he was thinking about the chances of Jones getting a second chance.

I thought I saw something here about a fellow from W VA potentially transferring in; now I don't see it.

No idea, but I remember when he n Anthony Averett were recruited, and have been wondering why we haven't been hearing more about them....

The kid has breakaway speed (see the 1:15 mark) and knows how to hit the hole. I know its a highlight reel but the tape dont lie. The talent is there lets just hope he makes the most of it and continues his development.

Every kid that we sign has great highlight reels. I hope Harris comes in and becomes the next great UA RB but until he gets here and faces some real competition then we have no idea of how good he actually is. No doubt he has great potential but so did Kamara, Tenpenny, etc.
And so did Ingram, Richardson, Lacy, Yeldon and Henry. I am going to look at it positively and say he follows in these guys footsteps and not in the ones who failed.
IMO, he looks far better than Tenpenny or Kamara. Who knows how he will turn out, many factors play into it, but IMO he looks as good or better than any HS RB Bama signee in a while. Possibly the best of the Saban era, thus far. But how much does he want it ?
It's hard to know. I remember Danielson saying in '12 that Lacy and Yeldon were just a notch below Ingram and Richardson. IMO, Lacy and Yeldon are both better than both Mark and Trent. In fact, Yeldon is one of the most under appreciated players in Bama's recent history.
I totally agree with you about Lacy. The guy was a monster his last year, and is showing the same thing in the NFL, but I have to disagree about Yeldon. I never really felt he got to the level of the other three guys. I was always scared to death when he had the ball in short yardage that he would fumble. The guy could put the ball on the turf at the worst moments possible. I also felt he was a little timid hitting the LOS on short yardage situation. Sometimes the hole isn't there on 3rd and 1 and you have to make one. He was versatile and a threat to catch it out of the backfield and turn it into something big.
Agree on all fronts. Loved Yeldon's versatility. Never felt fully comfortable with him in the clutch.
When it was all on the line, against SC in 09, Saban didn't hesitate to put the game in Mark's hands. For the entire drive. Mark, Trent, and Eddie bordered on forces of nature at times. Yeldon had some great moments, but never quite seemed to have the raw power of the previous three.
Harris looks like the real deal--I *really* like his balance and ability to change direction. We'll see how he does with SEC competition this fall.
