Who's your Favorite Freshman/New Player Coming this Fall?

[REBELZED]

Julio’s physical gifts enabled him to get open as a young receiver, Williams gifts might not help him early on.

If RW can approach the Smitty or Amari comparisons, I remember those guys doing some pretty special things as true freshmen...

 

[Ledsteplin]

My bad

Just teasing.

They did. But the best was in the second half of the season. Williams missed Spring. That could make a difference in him being ready.

Not really a player but since 2020 we've not had a good offensive design and in 2020 with the talent we had it might have been bad too but was just unstoppable due to sheer talent. Either way I'm hoping to finally see an offense that gets the ball delivered to the playmakers in such a way as to make it hard to defend. I also want to see our run game thrive. You need some fear of the passing game to make the room for runners to break free for chunk plays.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting what you’re saying, but the 2020 offense was literally the most unstoppable offense in history…

 

[davefrat]

Not at all

Thanks.

Same here. That offense was loaded with talent and had one of the best offensive minds in college football directing it.

It was a scary combination of talent and coaching.

IF we'd had a better DC we might have won every game by 30.

Where do you get this opinion? I think it is absurd.

Watching him.

 

[HighlandOak]

If you're basing that on his presence at events and social media, well he has a job now. He literally works for Yea Alabama so he has to do that stuff, I know no everyone is used to that but he and milroe and a few others are basically selling war bonds for Alabama football right now.

Other than that, I've never met a humble wideout who was any good. They may not say it out loud but that and cb are positions where self confidence is is kind of a must, if you're the best of either on your team you are essentially on an island all game long.

Other than that I've never heard a bad word about the guy.

You can have all kinds of self confidence and not be a braggart and prima donna.

 

[HighlandOak]

Does he have a bad attitude?

Idk anything about him.

From what I've seen he does.

Williams' physical gifts while different are just as good as Julio's when they were freshmen and may be better when all is said and done.

 

[TiderJack]

Examples?

He can't. Most comments from him are highly critical.

 

[HighlandOak]

Examples?

Stuff posted online, a good bit posted by him. I saw enough, and don't care to see any more of him.

You might not want to watch Bama football for the next 3 years. Pretty sure he is going to be catching the ball quite a bit.

I may not. It's because of "players" like him that I watch as little as I do.

No true Bama fan won't watch because of what you are saying.

If you are trying to be dramatic, congrats.

Don't care about drama, which is why I don't like all these young players like him. I've been a Bama fan for over 40 years, but my time as a sports fan in general has just about run its course. I had hoped the college game could hold on a bit longer before imploding, but that ship has sailed.

No true Bama fan won't watch because of what I'm saying? Maybe, maybe not. And, you may be right-I may not be a Bama fan, true or otherwise, any more. The appeal of watching a game, even on TV, isn't what it once was.
