We have a true sophomore at quarterback and a true freshman backup, who if he progresses from year one to year two will undoubtedly push Jalen or even surpass him. Why come into that situation? You can classify both of them as dual threat, with each on opposite ends of the spectrum, so we can't sell him on special packages or anything. I'm just curious.
Glad all our kids don't look at it they way you do bro. You know our roster is full of 5* and highly rated 4* kids who come to Bama to learn from great coaches, win championships and to be part of something great. They know they have to wait their turn and most do and many go onto the NFL. I thought this answer was pretty obvious.
He's committed to Kentucky, and not in basketball. That doesn't sound like he's going somewhere to wait his turn. Barring catastrophic unforeseen circumstances he would be here three years before he would be done waiting in line. It doesn't make sense to be a quarterback and jump into the situation he would be jumping into here.
You're doing a fine job of showing him why he shouldn't come to Alabama.
How often have things transpired in the next year just the way you expected, much less 3 years ? Never. Injuries, transfers, bad evaluations, growth, coaching changes, etc. Plus recent history has proven that all you need to "show your stuff" is one year, especially at Alabama. Finally, there is more to life and even one's football career than starting immediately.
If someone wants to play on a winning team that is yearly in the top 2 or 3 and in the playoff every year they face fierce competition at every position. If they want guaranteed EPT they can settle for a team that MIGHT go to a Bowl game.
I have seen you post on this board for a while now but it seems you are new to the thing we call "The Process". This has been happening for 10 years now.
Interesting that the Ohio State guys are CB's him to Bama. I heard Mike Parker of Crimson Cover on with Gary Harris yesterday. He was saying we were still in the running for Emory Jones, the 4* dual threat prospect out of Georgia that is committed to tOSU. He said some rumblings that they (tOSU) are concerned enough about Jones flipping to Bama that they are looking to start recruiting another QB just in case.
