Im not sure he doesn't want to win a championship...I just think his focus is different. I'm sure he wants to win one but his primary focus is elsewhere. My nephew was in a similar situation with an academically prestigious school and soccer. It's really a difficult situation for the family and him. He was a passionate player who was nationally ranked. He chose the academic route as his primary but you would never be able to tell him he doesnt want to win a championship, and I think the same could be said for most kids. Sometimes making a difficult decision doesn't imply that one doesn't want something....it actually accentuates the character in those who are willing to place one thing on a higher platform than another. As an uncle who watched his nephew go through this...the desire is always there . It wouldn't be a tough decision if it were not. RTRWhich goes back to my original point....some kids just don’t want to win championships.... it’s as simple as that
Ok then, he doesn't want to win a championship as much as he wants to accumulate massive debt to attain a degree from a prestigious University that will serve him no better than the degree he would earn by attending a University on a full athletic scholarship. Satisfied?Im not sure he doesn't want to win a championship...I just think his focus is different. I'm sure he wants to win one but his primary focus is elsewhere.

Not sure why your post is so sarcastic and why your concern of this kids debt....let me ask you a question ...how do you know how much of a financial aid the kid has from Princeton? How do you know how much his parents are paying? You don't ...please leave the sarcasm out .As much of a Bama Homer as I am, it's not the end all be all. We as a fan base can wish the kid good luck without questioning his desire to win championships and using a debt argument to make him sound like he made a bad choice. Again, it's easy to say that when you or someone you know are not in their shoesOk then, he doesn't want to win a championship as much as he wants to accumulate massive debt to attain a degree from a prestigious University that will serve him no better than the degree he would earn by attending a University on a full athletic scholarship.

In one of these articles it states he will receive little to no financial aid. It has also been said they don't give athletic scholarships. You keep nitpicking CC's post about winning a championship, but it's most likely true.Not sure why your post is so sarcastic and why your concern of this kids debt....let me ask you a question ...how do you know how much of a financial aid the kid has from Princeton?

I'm no nitpicking...I am replying with an opinion based on experience with a family member ..ones opinion is not not picking or a board would be one-sided correct? It also states in another article that his family would have to pick up only a portion of the amount, that implied that there's a good amount of aid available to the young manIn one of these articles it states he will receive little to no financial aid.

If you had to choose between one of the two, who would you rather have in the class, and which of the two would most likely be influenced by visiting college station?Waddle did not go to ATM.
Brown did.
For me, considering need and assuming both qualify, Brown. Same for who I think will be most likely influenced.If you had to choose between one of the two, who would you rather have in the class, and which of the two would most likely be influenced by visiting college station?

I am just gob smacked why there could be a choice on a player coming to Bama or going elsewhere. CNS has had this program winning NC's for ten years. I can understand a player being reticent about a program if its just won a NC out of nowhere, however, Bama has won 5, count it FIVE, NC's in 10 years. There is no reason to believe the winning won't continue with CNS at the helm, so why would these kids not be clamoring at the door for a schollie and let CNS take his pick. If these kids have any thoughts of going to the NFL, then coming to Bama is a no brainer.
I know kids can be dazzled with bling, but the NC trophy is as shiny as all get out. Playing in that final game is a great rehearsal for the next level.
Agreed it would be Brown and I think he still sticks. Great to hear Waddle did not go to College Station.For me, considering need and assuming both qualify, Brown. Same for who I think will be most likely influenced.
All fans care about is winning - that's their primary motivation in participating and for most their primary tie to the program. The kids have many other issues to consider: playing time, future in NFL, academics, distance from family, comfort level with players, relationship with pos coach and HC, etc.I am just gob smacked why there could be a choice on a player coming to Bama or going elsewhere.

I hope we get Waddle and Brown sticks. Brown plays at a position of need and guys of his caliber are hard to find. Waddle is electrifying. He reminds me of Christian Kirk.Agreed it would be Brown and I think he still sticks. Great to hear Waddle did not go to College Station.
Moody was offered the other day and is on his official visit right nowThread has gotten off Topic. There is a White thread. That being said based on what I have seen it looks like Bama will get Ross Waddle, Smith and Langham. Moody if he is offered and hopefully Surtain and one of the o linemen . Not sure they sign a qb we will see.
