Re: *** QB Mac Jones Flips from Kentucky to Alabama ***

You would think after Texas A&M lost a couple recruits to a tweet one of their assistant coach posted on Twitter a month or so ago, college coaches would avoid emotional type tweets on social media, that's a problem we haven't had to deal with so far at Bama..

UKs offensive coordinator



And Mac Jones response

Yeah, Hinshaw shouldn't have posted what he did, and Jones shouldn't have called him both old (he's 44) and childish. Not a good look for either.

BTW -- Unrelated to this particular exchange, I wish Kiffin would stay away from Twitter for the exact same reasons.

Yes, it was an opportunity to " rise above " by not dignifying Hinshaw`s comments with a response. One of the most difficult things to do, particularly for someone as young as Mac, is to ignore silly, spiteful criticism. That will come with age, experience, and confidence .

I agree 100% with ya & wish Coach Kiffin would stay away from posting on any Social Media as well..

Re: *** QB Mac Jones Flips from Kentucky to Alabama ***

Mac and Tua. There`s only one ball. What`s the most likely scenario? Somebody red shirts and puts a year between them ? Are either or both good enough athletes to change positions possibly? Somebody likely transfers later on? These appear to be two really talented kids. I guess you could make a trio out of it if you include Jalen in that discussion as well.

Posted this in the main QB thread on the football board. We need the depth, so we're adding two guys. Safe to assume one will transfer, but that's still not a guarantee. They may know to be patient.

We are still 8 months away from NSD, so anything can happen. With that said, Alabama took a commitment from a second QB in this recruiting class yesterday. What does that mean for the current guys? Do the coaches expect someone to transfer out?

Take a look at what the presumed depth chart will be when Tua and Mac Jones arrive on campus in 2017:

Cooper Bateman, SR
David Cornwell, JR
Blake Barnett, rsSO
Jalen Hurts, rsFR

Believing they both take a red shirt their freshman season, the 2018 depth chart will look like this:

David Cornwell, SR
Blake Barnett, JR
Lane Hurts, SO
Tua Tagovailoa, rsFR
Mac Jones, rsFR

Saban could always be adding two guys to have some depth for the 2018 season.

Re: *** QB Mac Jones Flips from Kentucky to Alabama ***

Here is a good interview with Mac. Mac thinks we land 3 of our 4 top remaining WR targets. Thinks Nico wants to get away from home.

I just went to 247Sports and Nico got 2 CB's to Michigan today. I would rather him be at Mich than any other schools in the SEC but still don't want Harbaugh coming in state and taking an elite recruit.

Re: *** QB Mac Jones Flips from Kentucky to Alabama ***

Mac's dad talked to al.com about the Sark hire. They are excited about it. His dad mentioned there might be a chance Mac is able to graduate early and enroll in January. It's unlikely, but there's one last chance.

Knew his HS Bolles in Jacksonville sounded familiar. Couple of others we signed from there back at the turn of the century: Travis Carroll, Chris Reier and Sam Matthews.

There is a blast from the past; seems like Matthews was close to the top recruit in the country. That was in the Dubose days I think.

Re: **** QB Mac Jones Flips from Kentucky to Alabama ****

Goodness..Mac has as much touch on the ball as any high school QB we've recruited..Lots of folks have pretty much annointed Tua the next great QB at Bama once Jalen heads to the NFL, but, Mac Jones has all the tools needed to have a say about that & he becomes Bama's next great QB..It's going to be sooooo much fun watching Mac & Tua battle it out once they get on campus..They both are unreal talents at QB..

BOL reporting Mac is going to enroll early. Guess he's going to go the route of Brian Robinson, Xavier McKinney and Daniel Wright and enroll on February 13.

Re: **** QB Mac Jones Flips from Kentucky to Alabama ****

Alabama QB signee Mac Jones receives the news he’s been waiting for


For several months now, 4-star quarterback Mac Jones has been at war with The Bolles School’s (Jacksonville, Fla.) administration.
Jones, now officially an Alabama signee, received word that Bolles will in fact let him start his college career early. He told SEC Country that he will enroll at Alabama on Feb. 13. The issue before was Bolles wasn’t going to let him leave high school early because it hadn’t experienced this issue and it didn’t allow anyone else to do it in the past.

Jones already had all of his credits and test scores to allow him to start college early, so this is definitely good news for him because he was going to be behind 5-star QB Tua Tagovailoa, who is already in Tuscaloosa as an early enrollee.
