He's more than welcome to transfer back to the state of Kentucky.

Elam is probably ours at this point. The momentum that came with his commitment brought some quality guys so I can't complain too much.

None of ours are overrated. Setting up for a perfect fall grind session.

Injury year aside, Robert Foster is one that has certainly underperformed relative to expectations.

Hope he turns that around this year.

I've said before, after 3 years on campus, recruiting rankings mean nothing. I think most Bama fans acknowledge Tony Brown hasn't lived up to his billing. Tremendous athlete though, so maybe it will all come together.

My pick is a little different because he is very good, but it's Calvin Ridley. I've heard a number of people try and build him up as being the heir apparent to Julio and Amari. He's a really, really good player but he's not in the same conversation as those other two, IMO

eta: also LOL to whoever said Damien Harris. If anything Bo is the overrated RB, he had a couple of good games at the end of the year. Harris carried us through the beginning and middle of the season. He'll be better at the next level than Bo

THIS. I really wanted him to go to FSU and compliment the blitz attack the Noles had with Mario Edwards, Demarcus Walker, and Josh Sweat - I casually followed Carter's career and he really does under perform against top tier teams. He gets his #s against Kentucky, Vandy, and Missouri but seems to struggle against UF and AU.

Probably but that's only because Bo is so prone to injury. Otherwise Bo is much more physically gifted than Harris is. I think Najee is the one who will turn heads this year.

He gor beat once deep against Florida. If you want to knock him it's not on the deep balls. Now he did have problems getting beat under neath and in crossing routes.

Donte Jackson by far. I'm tired of watching him get dicked on. Hoping they slide him to nickel soon.

From outside the fan base agree. Within the Mizzou fanbase hate to say it but Drew Lock. Kid has incredible arm talent etc.. BUT has not performed up to hype against tough opponents.

Everyone sees his body and freaks out because he looks like Lawrence damn Taylor but he just doesn't produce much and can flat-out vanish for 2-3 games at a time.

Sounds a lot like a recent Aggy who went #1 overall.

Etling is light years ahead in overall quarterbacking of any other QB on the roster currently. The team was like day and night improved Offensively immediately after he took over for Harris last season.

There are no other "SEC Caliber" starting QB's on the team. Narcisse has the most "Potential" of the bunch, but will have to greatly improve his passing accuracy before he's even remotely ready.

All that will change soon when Brennan arrives on campus in June.

It's amazing to me that some of you still don't realize what qualities "Championship" caliber QB's must posses. It aint about shear athleticism........

C'mon Bama fans. I dont like putting down players.

But if I had too....I'd go with the FG Kicker that was so highly rated. The one we took over Daniel Carlson.

CB Justin Martin. He was the no. 2 JUCO corner and hasn't done anything the past two seasons despite having 1st round talent in terms of his measurables. The good news is that he was named most improved player on defense this Spring and seems to have taken to our new DBs coach. I'm hopeful he continues to progress but prior years of waiting on Martin to shine have me in the 'believe it when I see it' camp.
