Re: 4* QB Emory Jones (Ohio State Commit)

If you haven't watched the Emory Jones clips, do so. He is amazing. Hard to believe that he is not a 5* and just as hard to believe that he would sit behind Jalen and Tua, but I can never fault a young man for wanting to play for Saban.
Just wait until he gets that Bama bump. :wink:

Re: 4* QB Emory Jones (Ohio State Commit)

One of the Bama writers put in a CB pick to Bama..... there's some info out there obviously
A bunch of CB's coming in now for Jones to Bama. Would be an absolute huge pick-up and hope it happens soon. Hopefully those who wonder/doubt why kids commit to/sign with Bama when they know they won't play immediately will understand Bama is just not about playing early.

Hopefully we see Emory on campus this weekend.

Can't ever be too deep at QB. It was just a few years ago that a 3rd teamer lead OSU to NC. I remember it all too well.:cool2:

Pardon my ignorance but what is a CB? I am sure it will be obvious once I am told...like I should have figured that out. Thanks

Crystal Ball. It’s the symbol used by the recruiting analysts to show how they currently believe a recruit is leaning.

Re: 4* QB Emory Jones (Ohio State Commit)

If this were to come about ( not sure at all that it will when all`s said and done, although would love it ), wouldn`t it almost have to be an automatic red shirt the first year to get some spacing ?

Yep, unless he thinks he could take the job from Jalen. He would have to be an early enrollee to even have a chance of trying to do that...

I'm sure he is being told what every one of our recruits are told and that is the best player will play. Realistically Emory, if he does sign with us, has to be thinking he will most likely redshirt unless there are some injury issues. He knows what the depth chart looks like.

Re: 4* QB Emory Jones (Ohio State Commit)

With the offense that you run, he is third anyway. Mac has a good arm, but he is not the type of QB that Saban wants to play anymore.

Yea, I'm thinking you have to be something very special with your arm talent and football IQ if you aren't very mobile to play at Alabama now.

Re: 4* QB Emory Jones (Ohio State Commit)

Isn't OSU deep with QB's also? I don't really know but I would think as well as CUM recruits, he would have good talent in front of him there too.

We no one named as our potential starter for next year. Jones would compete for that role out of the gates at OSU.

Re: 4* QB Emory Jones (Ohio State Commit)

^^^^^^^ Really tough to tell from that article what he wants to do. I would say OHNO ST has a better shot at getting his signature, hopefully he rolls with the tide. rtr

Re: 4* QB Emory Jones (Ohio State Commit)

No hard source, but I have heard that we are spending less time with other QB recruits because our coaching staff believes that Emory is going to stay with OSU.

If he is smart he will stay with OSU. Early playing time much easier to see there than here or UGA.
