Dude is an idiot. He would have been starting and playing a ton as a projected 1st round draft pick at LSU but now he's barely played at Bama and will probably have to stay another year to get that 1st round projection back.

Lost a lot of money just because he's impatient.

Nick Saban played him perfectly, forced him to sit out and comeback next year.

And if he's at LSU right now he had a chance to go round 1.

I know you meant "better chance" and I agree. Simply because he would be starting and showcasing his talents.

I'm sick of hearing about this guy. The rant hasn't talked this much about another team's back up players since Ishmael Sopsher.

As an outsider looking in it appears Ricks didn’t do what was necessary to play for Saban. Perhaps it’s his toughness, his work ethic, his knowledge of the D, or something else.

O excused things, Saban will not. That is the culture BK is trying g to change.

And riding the bench under Saban despite his talent raises character concerns for the draft whether theyre warranted or not. If he's playing at LSU no one is asking that question as much.

When you can't get the attention on the field, you look for it elsewhere. Don't feed the troll.....

A few things I wonder about.....

Is he not playing because the Alabama DBs are better? I doubt that is the case. It's got to be because of attitude.

How did Nick not pick up on that attitude before letting him transfer?

or

Would Nick let a player transfer and sit just to keep him from playing for a rival?

Based on what? He hasn’t played in what would be 2 years at that point

for the sake of argument, maybe not. I won't go so far to say he could have changed the UT outcome, but maybe he changes the FSU game.
If he could have played man and put one of their receivers on an island all game, that allows the defense to play more freely. Maybe he does not give up the fleaflicker tuddy

But most likely youre right

frick him. Hope he rots over there and if he plays against us, run to his side as much as possible so he's sore in the morning.
