He's the type of kid that might not ever develop but if he does, will be nasty.
quote:If I'm remembering correctly Bama starts classes on the 8th. So if he's going to flip it almost has to be tomorrow (theoretically he could not enroll and wait until the 15th when LSU starts).
Just curious what day TB enrolls. Don't think he is.flipping etc. Just curious

But I also agree about Tony Brown. I do a lot of work in Beaumont area, and i have a lot of friends that go to his games. Hes a way better athlete than he is a football player at this point. Hes extremely fast out there on the field, but isnt physical and doesnt have the best technique because he relies on his speed to make up for bad technique. And they say hes more impressive in shorts than he is with pads on. But hes a great talent. No doubt about that.
If he gets with a great DB coach, which Saban is, and gets more physical and better technique there isnt a reason why he wouldnt be awesome.

He's the type of kid you take a chance on being a bust, because his ceiling is so high.

Oh yea no doubt about that. You take him, regardless. Because if he can be coached up and get a more physical mentality, hes got the skills to be an elite CB at every level of football. And if he doesnt get coached up and become more physical, you still have an elite return guy.

You believe this bullshite? Bama fans just can't accept that a recruit would visit and decide NOT to commit. There must be a reason - players told them not to, Saban cooled off on the kid, etc etc
Make excuses for them. Par for the course. They're totally infallible. We get it.

This thread is hilarious.
I can't believe some of you believe the shite that you write.
So bama players are telling recruits not to come there??? It must be true since it was reported on their own fan site. Good God. Sure 1 or 2 guys may say something like this, but that can happen (& does) everywhere by disgruntled players that haven't received playing time. Newsflash...there are unhappy players at every program.
Let's assume it is true on a significant scale (which is a huge stretch).
If true, Saban must be an even better recruiter/salesman than we all thought. B/c even with his own current players telling recruits not to come, he still has the best class in the country (& has for the past few years).
An now we're getting into Brown who might be a bust and needs time to develop (if ever) to play at a big time program...(all while rated the #1 CB in the country). Yet LSU had 2 true freshman start and contribute quite well just this season.
This place cracks me up.

I don't see anyone saying it must be true. It's an interesting talking point if anything else. Not much going on right now, calm down.

quote:seems like a pretty factual statement to me
This story is actually true. And it went a step further. The players said if they could do it all over again, there is no way they would pick Bama.
I agree it's interesting nonetheless....in a comical, you-can't-really-be-serious way.
And the comments about Brown are utterly absurd b/c there is bust potential for every prospect....and recent history (this season, with our own team....twice) has proven that him succeeding early is not a stretch at all.

Their fans aren't the ones breaking the story. It's media in Alabama that's reporting it. Why are people so ready to believe anything people like S/S feed us but shite on all other media sources?
Again, not saying I believe it, but it makes sense of that baffling Hootie decommit/recommit, since it was reported that "something happened" on the recruiting visit that made him change course. Also makes sense of what Whitley said about making one mistake and falling off the depth chart.
It certainly makes more sense than the rumor perpetuated by some of our fans that Saban told Hootie to decommit just to frick with LSU.
Intresting talking point though, primarily. It doesn't mean that their class isn't still superb.

Am I on the rant???? MEDIA reports what everyone here has been howling about for years... Saban lies about early playing time... and people here are saying it isn't so that the recruits finally had someone get the message out.
I have for years wondered why this doesn't happen more often. bout time someone on the diatoms team goes postal.

Maybe this rumor about the current players there is true, I could be wrong. My point really is that their fans will make any excuse they can when a player doesnt pick them (sort of like TD I guess). Wasnt really an offer, saban cooled off on him, mom wanted him elsewhere, scared of competition, etc etc. They just cant understand that some kids just arent impressed and dont feel its their in their best interest.

Alabama is the most talented team in the country, but any recruiting addicts worth their salt will tell you most years the gap between the 1st and 5th best classes isn't enormous. Sometimes even the 1st and 10th if the class is deep.
Alabama has been able to sell their seniors on coming back to win a championship or repeat as champions. Its an easy sell, especially to guys who aren't likely to be injured anyway (everyone except skill position guys).
In our case, LSU has fielded a good defense with a mediocre or just bad offense, or a good offense with a young defense. Next year its on the progression of the offense, which I think should hit a stride by the time we play Alabama.

Brown is not flipping. From what I heard there were some shady dealings going on with Bama.
With Brown's sister voicing her support for Bama, will she be transferring from LSU?

Their CBs actually suck so he could play earlier there than lsu
But but but Saban is the best DB coach in the country pros or college.
But they had the number one ranked *fill in the blank* and the number one ranked class. What happened to all those guys?
