He made a bad decision.

Nah. Kamara is a much better fit for Tennessee's offense than Bama's.

Eh, I dunno about that. Kamara would be featured in the slot, on normal downs, on kick returns, and other various ways by Kiffin (like Drake).

However, he seems to have grown up and gotten things together in Knoxville, so hard to argue that he didn't make a great choice. Glad to see him doing well.

you just described how he is utilized at UT. He averaged 6.5 yards per carry and put up double digit touchdowns. He will put up eveb better numbers this year, as he will receive more touches.

This is one of those situations where a parting of the ways benefitted both parties. Kamara grew up and will prosper at UT. Bama had a transcendant talent in Henry waiting in the wings to shoulder the load. Win/Win.

Yea, my point was he'd have a very similar role at Alabama as Tennessee.

Agree completely. Hopefully Bo stays healthy this year so we can see what he can do. I am sure Emmons and Harris will be very good too

I'm sure he watched the playoffs with a tinge of regret, wondering what it would have been like to be a part of it.

I think AK would at least be getting 50% of the looks but I also believe with his skills, Kiffen would have him lined up all over the place (backfield, slot, wideout). Not gonna lie, wish we still had him, dude is a hell of a back

It really makes me happy to see a kid like Alvin who, when at Alabama wasn't a bad kid........but was incredibly immature. To see him leave, pick himself up and from all accounts go from an immature kid to a leader on a good football team is really awesome.

Wish it had happened at Alabama, but just glad it happened. Hope he has a great last year.

His role at Bama would probably be similar to his current role in Tennessee. It would be a two RB tandem with Scarbrough being the starter and getting a bulk of the carries.
