Bama got it like that?

This is part of football the less sophisticated does not understand - as far as the Devall/Alexander "crossover" for lack of a better term:

The offenses going in different directions after November 5th notwithstanding, the 2 best teams in CFB in 2011 were Bama and LSU, and by a significant margin - Devall is a much better fit at Bama in the 3-4 they run - likewise Alexander is much better for Chavis' defense.

While both schools would have liked both players, each school got the best player out of the pair for their needs. Pre-injury, I would have said Alexander was slightly better - post injury, it's about a pick em. Devall may end up playing at 250 or 255 pounds, Alexander may end up 235 - they're different players physically - Devall has good straight line speed and is very strong - Kwon is another freak, athletically, but one built to play linebacker in a 4-3.

If he has recovered from his injury fully, I think he is the most likely to play significantly as a true freshman, of all of the incoming LBers (although I think 2 or 3 may play relatively early).

Bama would have pulled someone else's scholy like he did Philon's. Don't kid yourself.
