Re: DE/LB Jarez Parks commits to Bama as a greyshirt***
I do wonder if our incredible depth at Jack/DE had something to do with Saban's reasoning (in other words, as good as Parks is, if there were one position we could afford to lose a player of Park's potential, it would probably be there)?
I agree with you. It's likely that Parks could have given a silent commit and still had his moment in the spotlight on signing day. If he really didn't make up his mind until the last minute, then what did he expect?The unfortunate thing is that Parks did this really nice video and should have been able to release that earlier and have his moment without losing his place. He just went a little far, I have nothing against him though, he just has to greyshirt now because of the choice he made. I really, really respect him for doing it though. I mean the guys that want it that much are the ones you want. Bozeman was originally going to be a greyshirt.
On the flip side though, the idiots trying to bash Saban or making accusations just lack common sense.
