1. He's sitting out an entire year.

2. What if Bama lands some big time DEs again next year? They pulled the plug on him once. What would stop them from doing it again?

I understand wanting to play for Bama and all that jazz, but he's risking a whole lot to maybe get that chance a year from now. He could literally go to almost any other college and a full ride scholarship. Hopefully he realizes he is risking his future by sticking with alabama.

Greyshirting is not a risk. He will be enrolled and on scholarship before signing day next year.

Just wondering why other schools including LSU does not go after him and add him to this year's class.

The pitch would be that he does not have to pay for school this fall and that apparently Bama would rather put others on scholarship now instead of him.

Unless a few players better than him come along by next signing period, IMO. Alabama's numbers will be limited next year because they over-signed this year. If he was so valued, why not blue-shirt him and let one of the other players that got offered a blue-shirt take the grey-shirt. A center and a kicker who also can't play this year got the blue-shirts, but at least they're on scholarship and can practice (i.e. be a part of the team). He should know where he stands in terms of value just by that alone.
