And suddenly the hat trick is classy. Just messing - I actually don't mind when kids try to make their announcements suspensful. Not a surprise but still a great pickup for you. Congrats.

Its never fun being the "joke". I just feels good to be on the good end of the trick.
 
Congratulations to Coach Shula and Staff. Welcome to the Bama Nation Andre.

Roll Tide
 
I don't like the hat trick much, whoever does it, or whoever they choose. I like Andre Smith, and I like the houndstooth, though.
 
The tradition continues

In the finest tradition of Hannah, Hand, Stephenson, Samuals and the other Bama offensive line greats, welcome aboard Mr. Andre Smith!
 
Happy but....

Not a big fan of the hat, shirt, whatever thing. Old School I guess. Glad we got him. At least his hat thing was kinda different. Recruiting is way out there now a days. :biggrin2:
 
Great to have ya Andre!!! Welcome to the Crimson Tide!!!


Did his brother Christian happen to give his verbal to Bama too? :biggrin2:

Well at least he didn't act like he was going to put on one of the other hats. He said goods things about each school and head coach and then he said they are all goods schools but they aren't the ones for me.

I would have to say most would agree that a houndstooth hat pick is classy. Unless you were an LSU, USC, Florida or Auburn fan of course. lol

This would have really surprised people

What if he had 4 hats on table (Alabama, USC, Florida and Lsu) and then reached under the table to get the houndstooth hat.

Wonder how many people would have had a heart attack?

Welcome Andre and Roll Tide

I'm not much on the hat thing, I expressed as much in another thread. However, that Hounds Tooth hat almost got me misty eyed, so I may just have to rethink my position. That hat reinforced what I have felt all along, these kids today do look at tradition. All I've heard in the media the last few weeks is they only care about playing time, the NFL, and the like. I believe they are wrong, every kid in our 06 class is an attest to that.

im am glad this recruiting thing is over, now maybe my wife will stay off my butt about staying on the computer 24/7 congrats to ANDRE SMITH AND COACHING STAFF
 
Yeah, the hat and shirt thing is kind of getting old. Since we are in such a tech advanced age, and most high school kids have cell phones, how about having your phone ring and play the fight song of your school of choice during a press conference. That would be pretty neat. Has anyone pulled that before?

Amen, good point.

ROLL TIDE!

I'm sure the coaches soon will be looking at the 2007 recruiting class. It's a vicious cycle.
