I seem to remember, back when we thought he was an LSU lock, having some Aggie and Longhorn fans saying that he was a camp warrior. They said there were several better DBs in the state and mentioned Jamal Adams and Ed Paris. I love our DB class and don't think he will be a big loss whether he is a bust or not. We have studs that are proud to be here and still a chance with Adoree. Also RR21 and TW16 are ballers. #ride4truetigers

The kid is great when the ball is in front of him. Very average with his back to the ball though. Referring to ball skills here.

I saw him play a few games this year. He has the things you can't coach, size, speed, length.

At times this year, he was being beaten by kids who shouldn't have been able to. He seemed to have trouble locating the ball in the air, lacked physicality. These things can be addressed.

He is going to be a very good college player, possibly an nfl player. Lsu missed out, simple as that.

I don't care where the kid commits, he's incredible and one of the best CBs in the country. Alabama got a really nice player, and he's a very classy kid too.

Let's stop discussing him, he stabbed us in the back and I, for one, do not want to talk about him anymore.

I don't think it's out of the question.

He has outrageous physical gifts, but whether or not those translate football wise hasn't exactly been seen yet.

He's ranked so highly because of his physical abilities, right now. Obviously, those can turn him into a baller, but he's not a 5-star because he lights it up on tape, IMO.

I said it and stand by it. He's not near the loss CamRob, Hootie, Speedy, or GW3 are.

Jamal Adams is an excellent pick up and will be a stud for LSU. He and Ed Paris will keep DBU going for LSU more than Tony Brown would've

and just yesterday you were slobbing his knob before he didn't commit to LSU.

now he's a camp warrior....

I agree with the rest of your post though....happy to have the rest of our DB class as is.

I saw his camp footage and thought he was the best CB prospect I saw this year.

Then I looked at his you tube highlights and saw him get beat more than once in his own highlights.

Haven't seen him live. Just saw highlights and had a massive disparity in my opinion of him.

Of course, I blocked out the game footage from my mind when I was wishing we got him. And now I'm blocking out his camp footage from my mind since we don't have him. Hoping he's a bust for Bama, but I simply don't know.

I think the kid is a 5 star for a reason. Good player...athletic...fast...great pick up for Bama.

The crazy thing is that if Brown really has designs on being a track guy and going to the olympics he is fooling himself with the Bama selection.

Does he really think that Nick Saban is going to let him be a part time DEFENSIVE BACK for Bama? Does he really think he is going to maintain a starting position with lots of playing time in the position group that Saban coaches while spending tons of time training for another sport? Really?

Sorry...not buying. This would be a poor choice if he was choosing between UT and Bama as well.
