Quarterbacks usually dont decommit.. They stick to their commitment unless something drastic happens
Yup. IMO, the only way Towns doesn't enroll at Bama is if there's a coaching change between now and Feb 2015. So Towns is going to enroll at Bama.

Saban has gotten commits outside of SEC states 26 times since he's been here. Only decommit is Keenan Allen.

There's more than that, but it's a fairly low number.

What's up with so many pussy hurt posters saying he won't stay committed ? Nvm... Rhetorical question.

Congrats BAMA! I would have loved to see him in red and black. I think this guy is a better prospect than Cornwell. I

Other than being angry, why are you so eager to make this bet and forever be gone from this site?

you actually believe a kid is going stay committed to a school thats across the country for a year and a half?
quote:
Town, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound junior, took an analytical approach to making his big decision. His father said Town poured over spreadsheets filled with data about his favorite schools, their offenses and their academics.
"This wasn't on a whim," Rick Town said. "It's been in the works for a while. Ricky doesn't like leading people on. He wanted the other teams to know what his intentions were early so they could do what they have to do."
So Town called Alabama's Doug Nussmeier on Monday morning. After a few minutes of small talk, the offensive coordinator figured out what was happening.
"It was so funny. I touched base with Coach Nuss and said, 'Hey, what's up man?'" Rick Town said. "I talked to him for a little bit, and eventually he said, 'Wait, is he committing here?' I said I'd let Ricky tell him that. And he said, 'Wow. I'm fired up. This is amazing.'"
Town had eight other offers to consider, and his father knows plenty more will likely come in the next two years. But he's done with recruiting and will get to work to enroll early at Alabama.
"He's not the kind of guy who wants more offers. It doesn't mean anything to him now," Town said. "The schools he really wanted to look at all looked at him. There was nothing for him to gain by hanging on and waiting."
Town becomes the fifth member of Alabama's 2015 class, and all five are in the ESPN Junior 300.
How does a California quarterback end up spurning offers from USC, UCLA and Stanford? Rick Town knows he'll get lots of questions about that in the coming months. But Alabama made too much sense.
"People are going to be surprised a kid from California would go to the SEC and get out of California," Town said. "But it really fits Ricky's personality. He's more of a Southern-type person. He's all business. This is a really good fit."
He's a Gump.

He said the spring game attendance mattered to him. Everything is important.
