At what? Did you miss the LB class Alabama signed in the 2012 cycle? Kwon Alexander is a tremendous talent but his injury caused concern.

That's not entirely true. At that point Alabama have a full LB class. His offer was likely just a greyshirt at that point. Although that's not indicative of his talent, just the amount of time he waited to decide and is knee injury.

Which is what I said....

He knew their spots were filling up at LB. If by Dec he knew bama was where he wanted to go. He would've committed. He didn't.

His offer turned to a grey shirt when they got their 5 LBs.

IMO he was a top 10 LB in the country. I'm sure bama wanted him to be in their top 5 takes. But, doesnt always work like that.

He's actually saying almost the same thing everyone else is, except he's making it super pro-bama

Yeah, Kwon didnt go to Alabama because there were just too many LBs. Instead he went to LSU, where we already had 5 incoming freshmen besides him who were LBs, not to mention the 5 LBs who were already on the team.

I guess Alabama doesn't have depth at LB unless its needed as an argument against a kid going there.

Cap, I can't speak for him but think he was saying that LSU had a lot of LBs in last years class also, not that bama didn't. I think he was saying Kwon wasn't worried about the amount of LBs any school had coming in. But we needed more y'all didn't. Could be wrong though

I wasn't aware that I was dragging on the thread for five pages over a five year old incident.

Didn't say that. Acting like the only reason Kwon chose LSU is because Alabama had several LBs is silly. It would be like me saying LSU didn't take Landon Collins because we were full at defensive back. He is a good LB and I'm sure Bama would have found a way to make room for him if had came down to that

Cap, keep your arguments based in facts. Other Bama homer(yes you are a massive homer) is trolling bad here. You are much closer to reality, but still a Happy Gilmore drive from it. The amount of delusion in Bama country is just silly. Even from the beat writers. Get your head out your arses. Reality is a much nicer place to be when you you get kicked in the stomach by losing a commit/recruit like Gunner Kiel, or Reuben Foster, or Robert Knemdiche(the Bama lock of the year per Bama nation prior to his Clemson commitment and announcement LSU was his runner up). In truth, LSU lost him to Clemson. Bama lost him to LSU AND Clemson. Come on down to reality Cap

Max, I think Cap is a little butthurt over Bamas stellar recruiting these last few weeks. Losing Reuben Foster to Auburn, Robert Kn(in his head he was theirs), and the Dodd to LSU.

Why on Earth would a player that Little Nicky wants go anywhere else? For one, the word is out about Saban's temper and the regularity with which he loses it(daily). He is a massive arsehole to his players. Tuscaloosa kinda sucks. It's the only place where a kid gets recruited for water boy AND Jack LB.

Sorry for butthurting you Cap.

Adding Josh McNeil and Walker Jones eased the pain.
