Let him walk on and prove he deserves a scholarship. Also, I hope KJ comes to his senses after this.


This would be ideal because no risk to the Hogs. If he performs well we have a good back if not no scholly lost.

Otis has a terrible problem with repeating himself multiple times in his poss but here is his update on the situation.

quote:

Yeah I was who tipped them on that. Been a week or two since when I was told that. My source said yesterday he has been released but can't go to an SEC school. The Alabama guys haven't been able to confirm he has a release, but I am told he does, but no SEC school. Don't be surprised if Oklahoma State is in play here.

When I was first tipped a week or two ago he intended to go to Arkansas or Oklahoma State, but as I was told yesterday he got the release but not to another SEC school. Guess we will have to see what happens here.

If he can't make it at Alabama, why would he be able to make it at RB U?

Good luck to him wherever he goes.

He would still count towards the 25 class limit.

We have more important needs than at rb this class.

Completely different situation.

Philon was still in high school and had full eligibility. Tenpenny has already used half his eligibility and was never able to find meaningful time on the field. If he's getting released, it's because no one at Alabama expects him to contribute.

Alabama still wanted Philon, they just wanted him to greyshirt. They didn't completely cut him loose and say, "It's not going to work out for you here."

Anyway, this is all probably a pointless discussion because I don't know why Alabama would let him go to Arkansas, unless Alabama isn't afraid to play him.

Bielema has already said he won't take guys who leave the state out of HS and want to transfer back after they realize they made a mistake.

Not a different situation in terms of the mindset of the player. Philon wanted to play for Alabama. Period. Alabama shafted him and he went to Arkansas as a 2nd choice. He was never full hog.

Do you really think we're going to have a full class? We're at 19 right now and unless we do some serious flipping, it doesn't look like we're projected to get 6 new guys on NSD. Not meant to be a smartass, I genuinely wonder if you think we'll hit 25.

I don't see us using a spot for a RB with only 2 years playing time when we need OTs, Defensive backs, and linebackers.

Best scenario would be for him to walk-on.

Yes

Altee getting a scholly is a moot point now since his release doesn't allow for Arkansas.

Always laughable. I was called a fool for having a source closer than any other that said he told KJ and Grag to stay away from TTown

A duece says the DL who didn't listen to him will wish he had in the long run
