Why did we not offer Simms??

I watched C Rob commit to bama. When his mom finally figured out how to get the plastic lids bag open, to pull out the hat, the espnu guy asked "How big of a deal is it that your friend Simms is going to bama?"
As soon as the tv guy said the name Simms, C Rob got the biggest smile on his face and stared saying yeah before the question was finished.
C Rob said "I'm looking at him (Simms) right now, we go back to 3rd grade, he's like my little brother. That was extremely influential in my decision."
We lost Landon Collins because bama gave his girlfriend a basketball scholarship, now the #3 overall prospect in the country goes to gump land because they gave his childhood friend a free ride. This is at least twice in 2 years we have been out foxed by saban.
Why did we not offer this kid Simms??

have you ever heard sims talk?
Posted on 9/4/13 at 1:20 pm to Bo Duke
Because we don't need to recruit lesser talented guys to sway a kids decision.

because why waste a spot on a scrub WR just for another player when we have legit WRs higher on the board?

He didn't want to camp so no offer.

B/c he ran a slow 40. Miles and company then asked him to come to camp and earn an offer. He did not show up as he reportedly felt disrespected. He did not earn an offer and les miles is not going to let a recruit hold his program hostage over getting another recruit. No one player makes or breaks a program. Les runs a program of discipline and hard work and if you don't put in the wok he doesn't want you plain and simple.

He didn't come compete for an offer.
Cam is friends with plenty of guys in LSU's 2014 class. He wanted to go to Alabama. Plain and simple

sims will be lucky to ever see the big stage at Alabama I partially think Alabama used it as a recruiting tool to get CR and LSU felt that we would be fine if we didn't get him and work on getting the best WRs in the state because Odell and Jarvis are going to be leaving soon, it sucks for sims but he let it happen to himself

Sims lost his spot to a backup kicker.

I am not so sure about that being extremely influential. I mean, he did transfer to another high school team. However I am sure the events leading to his eligibility was just a coincidence and had nothing to do with football.

...sooner or later , the recruiting stink coming from Tuscaloosa is gonna start being more than a whiff of sour grapes speculation ... uh huh , true dat . Jus wait and see ... what it gonna take ? 5, 6, 7 , 8 straight "No 1" recruiting classes ? 5 , 6 straight MNCs ? Then folks start sayin' "Whoa , WTF is goin' on heah ? " ? JMHO, yowza.

I don't know why we didn't offer Simms, but if we had to just to get CR then Les is OK by me. Les tries to sell our state university to state recruits. Why does anyone have to come up with gimmicks? If the guy has to have someone hold his hand while he goes to the same school, then go. Saban couldn't get Cams girlfriend because maybe he doesn't have one, but he has a boyfriend and Saban used that gimmick again.
