Hard to picture him anywhere other than Alabama, IMO.

Is this new, or have Alabama fans known this all along?

The track thing is new. That should seal the deal.

There have been rumors on both sides. I think we knew our staff might let him run track, but the fact that they have shown him a plan for both makes it seem more concrete. I'd love for us to finally put the Bama won't let you be a dual athlete to rest. Could help us land some guys in the future.

For Brown, it would help but him wanting to run track i think favors LSU. Better men's program historically and his sister is on the LSU track team. As he hasn't committed though I could still see A&M and Bama as options.

I have a feeling he is going to end up in College Station.

will not happen Nick just telling him that to get him back there then no track.
Watch and see when did Nick let football players play two sports.
This is the typical bait and switch technique.

JSW ran track during his first year for us then set that aside to focus on football. It is the inevitable course if you want to make $$$$. I imagine most coaches say these types of things

However, the plan is to get them to commit and then tell them track is not for them. So if MH and Brown fall for that they will be in for a big disappointment because they will not be running track anytime soon you can count on that.

First of all if he wanted MH and Brown to run track why not tell them they can run track in the beginning. Why are you waiting tell now to approved of them running track.
Look politicians does this all the time when crunch time kicks in then you lie to get people to vote for you. In this case you lie to get them to commit then change your mind once they get on campus.
This is a typical bait and switch period. I careless about MH getting suckered but hopefully Brown won't fall for this scam.

If Saban did tell MH he could run track why is he looking at FSU and their track program. I can see brown looking around because he wants to explore his options, but MH is legacy.

Possibly but not the most likely scenario. If i take my P&G glasses off I would still say currently LSU then A&M then Bama/other in order of probability. Any reasoning behind your feeling?
