Nick Saban Says Alabama 5-Star Freshman Antonio Alfano 'Basically Quit'

Wait till he meets Sopsher.

You just know this gives Nick a really bad case of the red arse.

He’s a quitter. The ultimate sin to Nick Saban.

Saban quit in the national championship game last year....

The Colonia, New Jersey, native has reportedly been going through a difficult time since his grandmother fell gravely ill and is on life support, his parents explained from a joint Twitter account last week. "(Antonio) is very close with her," the tweets read, "since this illness took effect, Antonio has taken it very hard. He has not attended classes and practices." Saban announced after the New Mexico State game that Alfano was going through internal discipline, adding there was an "academic" element to his punishment, and that he needed to be "responsible and accountable to do what he's supposed to do like every other player on the team."

Hmmmm, a personality conflict with Saban, imagine that.

Processed

No chest?

Did Saban make that arse quit?

Saban quit on the 2004 LSU Tigers.

We'll take this kid as transfer

Sopsher is next to quit. Good talent evaluations but bad character evaluations.

Sounds like Antonio is headed to the "Transfer Portal"!!!

I thought this guy was going to be a beast.

Saban should know about quitting......he quit on the Dolphins.

Saban quit on the dolphin and he has a problem with a kid with issues quitting

That’s why they call it “dope.”

Wouldn't be the first guy to want to get the hell away from Saban.

Sounds like he had some personal stuff come up and it is a shame that his coach hasn’t spoken with him to find out what. He could be an outlier but more people don’t just shut down like that. He is a long way from home and this happened sounds to me like he has some serious personal stuff going on.
