All Saint was saying is that this commitment means almost nothing to how we feel about Pettigrew. It wouldn't surprise me if Alabama took three TE commitments this year if we can find them. We lose Ty Smith after this year and OJ Howard next year. We've been moving D-line to TE in hopes of finding a fit.

Will we get Pettigrew? Probably not, but us taking another TE has nothing to do with Pettigrew or any other TE.

So much for this board to be free from the trolls.

They offered him to play Tight End, not Small Forward.

He wasn't very high on our list anyway, so no real loss.


This is often an exaggeration at best, but this time it is true.

Yeah. That will need to happen. Right now, he is pulling Bama's ranking down.

Who is trolling?

I see several opinions and some thoughts about how this relates to the 2016 recruiting cycle in general, which is what this board is for. If you want to post that a 3-star player just committed to Bama and have several other Bama fans celebrate and pump him up to top prospect status, there are other boards and sites for that.

Not one Alabama fan has pumped up this kid's talent. If fact the only mention of his rating is hyperbole by opposing fans about the mythical "Bama bump".

Never said this. It was obvious that you and the other Bama poster were butthurt that other posters were (gasp) pointing out the obvious about his rating, who is recruiting him or not, and what this might suggest about Bama's chances for other targets at the position.

Congrats on your 3-star commit. Boy, you guys stole one from Mizzou! There. Better? Sheesh.

And what if those thoughts about how this affects other prospects are wrong? Are we allowed to say that? Because all of the speculation on how this affects spaces are dead wrong, and I know this as a Bama fan who follows Bama recruiting more than an LSU fan would. Let me say it again. We have had to move Dline over to TE to make up for a lack of depth. We will be taking multiple TEs.

Solid strawman. If you don't think the guy mentioning Pettigrew was trolling then you are extremely dense.

He was the poster that mentioned Pettigrew unabated.

Ah... the solid "I wasn't trolling. It was relevant" comment. No wonder LSU fans get harassed so much when something goes wrong in recruiting. They can dish it out, but they can't take it.

I wasn't trolling. An arrogant bama fan said wberyone wanted to play for your te coach so I brought up Pettigrew a TE recruit who ba is recruiting. Obviously this fits together you butthurt dense gump

Scales is still a project at TE. And that hasn't changed to fit your narrative of Alabama fans.
