re: Saban didn't give Bell a scholarship?

Occupation: "driller."

Bell screwed himself. He could have come here as one of two wrs in this class but instead signs with a class that has 3 more who are all ranked higher than him. He and Sentimore will wake up today with buyers remorse.

I saw his announcement and I'm telling you- something wasn't right! Damn, what a dumbass- he looked like he had just decided to jump off a a frickin cliff.

JMO you folks have good one.

I dont think our one is any better than other ones. JMO

Saban to Bell:

"We may need you to grayshirt...aight...it takes commitment to be a Gump....aight..."

yes, bell was the third WR we signed, but the only slot guy we signed. he will get playing time in the fall if he learns the offense. And no, he has a scholarship, not a greyshirt offer.




You just owned this whole thread.

How many times does Bama use a slot? Honestly? Good luck with those 2-3 plays you're in and MAYBE 1 target a game.

One more thing also did not lsu offer bell and not the other guy. So are you telling tt coachs can spot talent and miles cant. I trust saban with players he wants. He came to bama got chavis,melvin oliver two guys no school in bama offered and they are in the nfl none. JMO



Can someone please interpret this hillbilly shite for me. You know what never mind I'll just skip it.

Now that's funny......I don't care who you are...
