re: Saban suggesting Fournette move to LB

The next thing Saban will suggest is that big Cam. should be his FB....as in Fullback! lol lol The staff should really pick up on this!!!!

So Fournette told pallelii friend and then told pallelii and then told Shea freakin Dixon

Sorry for not being clear enough @Dubz17, this was the exact rumor I heard

Saban wanted Brandon jacobs to do the same

I don't think Saban is that dumb when he's getting Adrian Peterson comparisons.
Crutchfield will be on Bama staff if Fournette goes there

BS...

It is a joke. Lel.

didn't we lose out on Vince Young because Saban wanted him at LSU as a WR?

I don't know that we lost out as i think he was Texas all the way, but yes Saban did suggest he play WR he wasn't the only one. What's ironic is Brown had VY as a QB all the way, but whiffed on RGIII and JFF because he wanted them at other positions

just think if Texas had RGIII to come in after McCoy got hurt vs Bama

To the OP, the LF to LB stuff is over a year old. That rumor popped up around the time Crutchfield was hired at St Aug and LF was playing some LB in practice. Nevermind that a lot of HS guys play both ways. With his build and athletism he probably could play either, but he so good a RB and like a lot of kids, i assume he loves to have the ball.

They know the only way they could have got him is to try to persuade him to play defense especially bc of the logjam at rb. Also was told that they didnt see him as a pure rb and would be better served on the defensive side of the ball

I know you are a straight shooter and have the scoop on St Aug, but I do beleive the rumors about Bama wanting LF at LB started before the monster class they signed last year. Some people said the same about Kenny Hilliard and rumor had it Saban wanted Brandon Jacobs at LB. I think the frame and skills at RB and LB can be transferable for kids of a certain size of course. when a kids is 6' 225 as a Soph, people assume he will out grow RB and maybe sometimes that;s the case, but LF is too good carrying the rock, would be a waste to put him on D and I bet Saban knows that.

I never mentioned a name, but at an indoor track meet, LF mentioned to another track meet participant that Bama had mentioned LB and he did not appreciate it. That was it.
