2014 Prospects

[Bamaglory]

If QB David Cornwell does not have a firm offer, color me surprised. Great QB.

That may be, but we've demurred on better QB prospects than him because we did not see them throw in person, and I doubt Cornwell proves any different.

Just as a friendly reminder, you should all be aware that now is essentially the beginning of non-committable offer season, where about half of the country claims offers from schools but in reality very, very few have firm ones.

It's all just evaluations at this point. The only way you know if someone has a firm offer at this stage of the game is if their commitment is accepted.

I don't know what you's talkin' bout! My sister's brother-in-law's son's neighbor's nephew went to Tuscaloosa on Saterday and met with Coach Saban, and that young'un gots him a offer to play the football at Alabama!







:wink:

Cornwell is the best Qb in this Class period. They will watch him throw when he starts spring practice most likely with Coach Nuss in attendance. He will come back and tell Coach about it and then an offer will be forth coming. Just like last year with, Browne and Cooper.

We've talked about how offers for QBs work in this thread, but I'm glad to see an actual prospect had to say about the process. Here is what Pennsylvania QB Chandler Kincade had to say.

“What we got out of it is he’s very interested, but they recruit a little differently. What they like to do is really get to know you and see you throw in the spring, and he’ll film it, and Coach [Nick] Saban will see it,” Kincade said “Then they’ll offer, but it’s not a committable offer until you get to the camp and Saban sees you throw live.”

Gotta love our coaching staff. Yep, they do things, "different."

Appears Stephen Roberts would like an Alabama offer:

Thanks to twitter, etc., english composition is going the way of the Dodo bird. I know I`m old and out of touch, but are we raising a generation in which a grammatically correct sentence, much less a coherent paragraph, will become the exception? My understanding is that with kids today, actual conversation is being replaced by "tweets" on a phone. I`m convinced we`ve already produced a generation that will never receive a hand written love letter. Somehow, in some ways, I think our society is the lesser for it.

Sorry mods, end of rant !

@DreKirkSWAG ill beat at bama in your place one more year they offered me i mite take that offer = I'll be at 'Bama in your place. One more year. They offered me. I might take that offer.


For all you guys who aren't as hip as I am.


JK. I'm not quite sure what he's saying. But that's my guess.

If you think Twitter is to blame for any grammatical errors, you're sadly mistaken. I tweet everyday, yet I make sure I use the best grammar I can.

I'll be sure to quit posting tweets from recruits because every time a post like this happens.

That is correct.

The same logic can apply for people posting on message boards. Are you going to volunteer to stop posting here in order to save English composition?

My other question would be why anyone would follow high school students on Twitter in the first place?

Don't understand why fans follow their accounts. Bone retweeted it, so I posted it on here. Don't understand some of these recruits that tweet asking where the fans of the last school to offer him are and why they aren't following him.

I think Twitter has a 140 character limit. So that might explain some of it.

I don't think that neglecting grammar, punctuation and spelling is a big deal.

But, I do think that we should be able to understand what people are saying.
I mean, expression and articulation are pretty important assets for life.

Just some periods to separate thoughts would be nice. So I don't have to rack my brain trying to figure out what they're saying.

Sorry RTR, didn`t mean to offend as I apparently did. I`ll try to post opinions in a less strident manner. Better yet, it`s probably best not to post them at all. They usually end up upsetting someone unnecessarily.
