Maybe this belongs in recruiting but this is a good article on Taulia and Tua.

Not Just Tua's Little Bro: Taulia Tagovailoa Could Be a Future NFL No. 1 Pick

BamaMoon · May 30, 2018

I love it!!!

His release is quicker than Tua's??? Wow!

B1GTide · May 30, 2018

I have no idea how good he is, but that article has me pretty excited to find out.

Let’s let him get on campus, develop, and see if he translates HS success to the SEC before we start talking about the NFL at all, let alone a #1 pick.

I’m a huge fan, and want Taulia to have all the success. But jeez, Kramer, the kid just finished his junior year of HS. A bit early for that kind of expectation, don’t you think?

I agree. I tend to be a wait and see type a guy when it comes to high school recruits. I do like that he is wearing #12.

LOL!! NEVER Too early for Bama fans!!!!

I can well remember the summer of 2014, back when I was posting on BamaMag's board; and getting ragged for suggesting that maybe - Just MAYBE, we should "tap the brakes" on the "Coker for Hiesman" talk that was blowing up back then.....

JamieSPC · May 30, 2018

As a Thompson fan who never misses a game and has seen a fair share of football, let me just add my $.02:

Be excited. Be very excited.

It's hard to stomp out excitement. It is what it is!

FWIW, I'd worry about alot of HS kids getting this type of press, but I really think he has a great support system with his family and he'll be playing for the best coach in the world that knows how to temper expectation.

My biggest concern is what happens in 2019 with Tua as the starter. Will Taulia accept a limited back-up role or transfer?

He'll be fine with playing most of the second half in all those blowouts! Not sure I need blue font. :biggrin:

Great article. High praise coming from June Jones. I think we are going to be very happy with the Tagovailoa era.

DrollTide · May 30, 2018

I rarely read these things but that is excellent.

June Jones demoted himself to OC in a high school so he would work with Taulia. Wow.

dvil doc · May 30, 2018

I'm giddy.

I hear the same thing from my Pelham peeps - that he’s actually better than Tua from a raw talent perspective.

Seeing him up close, how tall is he really?

Impressive resume as a coach, but why was it that he was dubbed "the worst coach in America" at one time?

btw this is ex SMU head coach. Not to be mixed up with Joey Jones, fmr South Alabama. I had to look him up to see who he was.

I really think Taulia might be the truth with that level of coaching already. Intangibles that many struggle to pick up on are being instilled into Taulia that can take some other 5 star recruits years to learn. And he has his older brother showing him every step of the way. It's like the modern day Manning family (liberal pun intended). That's very exciting, and I hope he decides to follow so closely with his brother and chooses to sign with Bama.

After all the years of bad football, I bet you enjoyed the last couple years. (My son is a Thompson grad).

At Alabama wearing #12 is an honor. Got to be great or else...

June Jones was the protege of Mouse Davis, inventor of the run and shoot (and my HS football coach in Portland, Oregon in 67-68.) June refined the run and shoot through the years. He is a great offensive mind. I can remember when he brought a Hawaii team to Bama -- during the Shula years I believe -- and almost beat us. Quite honestly, the refs helped us out or we would have lost. Anyway, if he says this kid is the real deal, then he is the real deal.
