Nick Saban has told him repeatedly that he'll play RB at Bama, doesn't matter where the posters here think he will or should play.Nick Saban is the best talent evaluator in the country, and if he thinks Henry can come in and play RB then I'm sold.

I agree here too. Saban isn't going to play just anyone at any position unless he knows how they'd do there.

We've already lost on decent thread because people couldn't act like adults. I'd rather lose marginal posters than lose a decent source of real information


I'm with ya.



So I saw somewhere that Tana Patrick was lining up at Sam, anyone like that idea?

Really dont want to lose T. Jones that would suck. Im with whoever says just leave D. Henry alone if its causes to lose the two RBs we already have.

We aren't gonna lose Jones AND Tenpenny if we sign Henry, I know that you know that, but are just posting anything negative you can think of, cause that's what you do.

Tunsil has said that he wants to play with Henry, getting Henry greatly improves our chances with Tunsil, plus Henry is one of the top 20 players in the country, which is reason enough to sign him.

If we lose Tenpenny or Jones (which I doubt we will lose either) then that proves that they are scared of competition and we don't need players like that anyway.

Alabama is in the position they are now because of many certified badassss that fear no one and think they're the best player on the field. If a kid is scared of competition, by all means go somewhere else and get skullfricked by a crimson freight train. I won't lose a wink of sleep over a recruit anymore. We have a roster full of bad bad men and the guys that come in every year are forced to adapt to that mentality or ride the pine. This is a mentally strong football team in a mental game, do not fret over skill player. We gave a scholly to a long snapper for gods sake, bama is stacked...everyone knows it but many hate to admit it

Not in my opinion.

I rate T. Jones and Tenpenny both higher as RB's. I think T. Jones is hands down the best RB in the country.

I believe that was the word. He also could have been destroyed after his life's work was deleted.

That would be fine with me. He has apparently worked his arse off since he got on campus. Just struggled to put on weight, and got passed up on the depth chart by some younger guys. If he is good enough to see the field, hopefully they find him a spot.

Ill just ignore you. Its a possibility that we could lose them because they are taking visits. Like I said Henry isnt worht losing both. I was all for going after Henry at first but now IDK.

I'm not saying he definitely won't be a running back because the probability is still there, but coaches tell players this all the time to get then on board. Then they change them to whatever position they really wanted them at.

Some examples from Auburn's side:

Kris Frost was recruited as a WR
Jason Smith was recruited as a QB
Jermaine Whitehead was recruited as a CB
Etc...

Again, it is still possible he becomes a running back. I'd love him at linebacker.

G Bryant says UA is the only school recruiting him at CB. He said no big deal because he feels it is the easiet way to get to the NFL and that he plays DB in HS.

We also thought he was linebacker all the way, but the Auburn coaches said we'd give him a shot at wideout, and we did. It was just a small selling point for him. But he was pretty much all ours after RichRod left Michigan.
