This kid is so stuck on himself! He is telling everybody around Springhill he is headed to Bama.

He wears a t-shirt around that says "I am Devin White"

Just for the record, I've always found Devin to be polite and respectful to me. Having said that, he's a 17 year old teenage boy. In my experience, even the best of that species are FAR from perfect. Is he enjoying being in the spotlight? I would think so, just like I would've done so had I had a similar opportunity when I was 17 y/o. I think a lot of this is just fun for him; that doesn't bother me. I could also care less if he wears a t-shir w/ his name on it. I'll continue to encourage him to go to LSU and NOT Bama, but none of this means anything until he signs his LOI. Coaches and teachers at NWHS will continue to try and keep him grounded, as will many of his teammates. I'm certainly not going to trash him on the' net for behaving no worse than most teens in a similar situation (and better than many). IF he ends up at Bama, I'll still support him as one of our locals, but I WILL poke fun at him when we beat BAMA.

Saban lets kids play the position they want to play. That's been his rule since he got to Bama. He'll tell a kid they have a better chance at playing time at the position he thinks is best for them, but he's never switched a kids position against their will at Alabama. Derrick Henry would be at linebacker otherwise, and BJ Scott would have been at cornerback from day one. Say what you want about Saban, but he lets kids play the position they want to play.

Actually it is

Opinion masquerading as fact.

Even if Saban said this to your face, he is a known liar.

What year did you graduate from Springhill High?

Actually, I didn't graduate from SHS, but I do have long standing ties to the 'Jacks.

Don't you still pump gas at the corner gas station in Springhill?
