[CajunCrimson]

I cant believe im having to say this but yes thats the entire point of his family paying to fly here

Was hoping to confirm that for other posters, as it's important for them to hear.....but I appreciate the sarcasm......

With that kind of commitment, I’m betting he pulls a few Bama’s way........ a natural leader with the ability to draw others to himself

Bryce Young is giving the indications of a leader who can change a locker room. Not saying we need a wholesale renovation of attitude. But a meaningful adjustment might be in order.

If he can deliver on the field, a kid with this sort of outlook can command respect of older players, something not easily done in the 18-22 year old cohort.

Too early to say how it will turn out. He’s not even finished with his last year of HS football. There’s a huge gulf between that and the SECW (just ask Blake Barnett). All indications are, however, positive. Big plus Is that family is also coming, at their own expense. Indicates a support network reminiscent of the Tagovailoas.

I have absolutely no inside information whatsoever. But I love what I’m hearing.

Sounds like he has the makings of a young field general

I'm seriously late to the party regarding this kid. Is this kid that good? We've got Tua's younger brother, Jones and Tyson currently on the roster. Do y'all think this kid's good enough to come in and be good enough to beat out (specifically Jones) the QB's already on the roster? Because the one's already on the roster are pretty good.

I've been told some things I can't say (you know how sources work), but to answer your question, "Yes."

 

[BamaMoon]

It's GREAT to hear he's making a trip on his own dime and continuing to recruit. I know the early signing date is just a few days away and then he'll enroll in January, immediately get into the S&C program, and go thru spring drills.

As for his family's "buy in" I think families of these type of QBs understand it's an "investment." IOW, if Young becomes the next great QB at a program like Bama, the price of the plane ticket from Cali is a small investment for what will eventually be a huge payday.

There's no guarantee he wins the job, plays next year or anything else, but he's the type of player that "could."

size is the only reason they dont have him #1 they said lol ESPN is the reason he's not top 5 because he has been on 247 since August I believe Also, imo the best player in this class very special player

Hope he's not done growing. I didn't grow an inch past 10th grade, but some grow into college.

I know we'll put some weight on him but, from a QB standpoint, a little taller never hurts and usually helps.

Russell Wilson is 5'11 albeit thicker. BY is still growing will fill out in time, but If he doesn't grow an inch from here on out, he's in good company with guys like Brees and Wilson.
but what makes BY special is his IQ, strong and accurate arm, and his mobility when he needs to scramble. the kid is reading defenses and changing plays at the LOS at the HS level, that is unique no matter how you slice it. and he's doing this at the highest level of HS football in California.

A field general...…………….sounds like he has the tactical as well as the strategic sense down pat

Just asking but do we think there is a chance in this kid not signing with Bama if Tua possibly stays. I know it should not matter either way was just wondering about it some.

I doubt it. At most that would mean a 1 year wait, and a chance to learn from Tua.

See rumors that Sark is looking at head coaching jobs. If he leaves, does Young de-commit?

Since he is an EE, Young will be on campus before Tua makes a final decision...

Rumors are rumors. I heard a rumor - legit - that Saban was being wooed again. Think recruits will look elsewhere as a result?

Let me clarify. If Sark actually takes a head coaching job, does Young go elsewhere?
