Re: Akai Byers Fails to Qualify
If he does what he supposed to, he could be on campus by Jan 2018.

It's long been known that he was an academic "risk". One can only assume that the staff wanted to have the upper hand when rerecruiting him. It hurts nothing and is to their advantage. They probably think a lot of him.I wish you guys could tell me why Alabama ever offered Byers in the first place. I'm not trying to stir up any trouble. Let's just say I am well positioned to know what's going on with Byers's academic situation. He has work to do to even get into junior college. Did you coaches like him in football camp or something? The eligibility side of his story is not good at all.
you offer a kid even if there is the slightest chance he will qualify, if you like him good enough on the field.... what generally happens is after semester grades are calculated in January, we have a clearer picture. Byers did not improve enough to have a chance, therefore he does not get an LOI from Bama and does not hurt us at all.I wish you guys could tell me why Alabama ever offered Byers in the first place.

Yep. He tweeted last night he's committed to Mizzou.According to BOL he has gotten his academics in order and reopened his recruitment. We don't have room for him now and he committed to Missouri last night.
I agree with you for the most part, but the one thing Mizzou has done well in recent years is develop really good DL.I am glad that he got his grades in order, but he would have been much better off gray shirting with a better program than going to Mizzou.
