re: Harris gets offer from Alabama

shocker to say the least, but the way he's been performing, not surprising.

deservedly so, too i'd think

if anything, i want him to come back to tell us about meeting cameron, what they talked about, etc.

Wow, I don't like Harris at all. GUARANTEED this offer comes with camp requirements to commit

I'll read it now

wut

Everyone says quantavious Leslie is our potential deep threat, we got Kevin spears and he can be a deep threat

Tigerfan4120 and et al that called me an idiot,

quote]OP, don't be such a fricking idiot, plz. Harris has to go to camp and impress in order to get a commitable offer from Bama, too. Or is the issue that Bama's camp apparently costs $375 and LSU's is $400? I really hope you're not connected to Harris in any way.[/quote]

Please, Please tell me you are still reading this post.

"Recruiting has steadily picked up for four-star quarterback Brandon Harris (Bossier City, La./Parkway), and that trend continued Monday.

Harris received an offer from Alabama, the defending national champion -- more specifically, from UA coach Nick Saban himself.

“It’s a top-10 program,” Harris said. “They’re ranked No. 1 or No. 2 every year, and Coach Saban, his resume speaks for itself. I don’t think any of us question Coach Saban’s resume. He’s a great guy. I was just shell-shocked that I was even talking to him on the phone.”

The Crimson Tide have been selective with the quarterback position in this class. And Monday’s offer came with an unusual stipulation: Unlike the other signal-callers who have been offered, Harris doesn’t have to come to camp and throw in front of the coaches.

“The key thing [Saban] told me was that I don’t have to go to a camp to show him that I can throw a ball,” he said. “He wants to get me up there, meet my dad, who’s a great role model. I want him to meet my grandma and everybody else who are big influences on me on a day-to-day basis.

“If I wanted to commit right now, I can. I think he’s got a different opinion on me.”

I am most positive that I said this from the start and it is why I defended Brandon's decision not to camp at LSU if he didn't want to. I'm not one to show anyone up because it's not how I tick but this should be a valuable lesson to think before you talk negatively about someone and attempt to discredit them.

Good day.

Brandon will be fine in his academics. He needs a little work and I want to keep that private because it's personal, but I wouldn't worry about him qualifying. Being graduated by January is the only issue.
