The coaches realize that if they recruit the right players and coach them up, then they will be gone after 3 years. It's time our fanbase realized this as well.

OP has his panties in a wad because a Bama linebacker decided to stay for his senior year. Typical chicken little Tiger fan.

Bama produces alot of NFL players. But their players tend to stay. Why? Mosley is staying.
Every year they have a bunch of seniors!

Going to the NFL means a pay cut for a lot of Bama players.

Do they test starters for weed like they're fighter pilots in the NFL?

I thought players loved playing under Miles? If i was an offensive recruit of having a chance to get drafted in second or third round I would leave. Actually under this pathetic offense, I would leave early if I had a chance of getting drafted. If I was defensive player I would stick around.

Miles goes for talent not character, so they sell out at first chance.

Meh. He'd still be outside of the 1st even if he came back and put up a 1,000 yd season.



No way you can say that for sure.

There was a very good chance that he could have pushed himself up in the draft with a big season.


Ridley had trouble maintaining his grades and was barely allowed to play in the Cotton Bowl. Ridley made the right decision.

I agree on Chad Jones leaving too early.

I think Rueben Randle was given a first round grade but did not do anything special at the NFL combine to make himself stand out.

Just asked a similar question....didn't see your post.

I agree with you completely!! AJ McCarron and CJ Mosley have both recently announced that they r returning to Bama for their senior seasons!!

I realize money talks, blah, blah, blah
