That's what I am talking about !
Ive been asking for a while how has he been looking in the self workouts.
Glad to see he's been putting in the work on his speed.
Our WR competition is going to be fun to watch this yr.

Nice write up on his work ethic

Alabama Football News
Alabama WR signee, Javon Baker’s, ‘work ethic’ is his biggest asset
By Justin Smith .

Alabama’s 2020 wide receiver signee, Javon Baker, is not the most talkative person as he tends to let his game speak for itself.

Scheduled to hopefully enroll into the University of Alabama in June, Baker is working hard to make sure he is ready to show what he can do the moment he steps on campus. A workout schedule, which consists of time on the football field and on the track is helping the McEachern product stay on pace. Under the toolage of TJ Brown, a wide receiver specialist at Top Shelf Performance, Baker has been working on this opportunity for two and a half years now.

“When I first met Javon, the biggest thing that stood out was his hands,” Brown said. “He was able to catch everything that came his way. I first met him when I was helping coach the Cam Newton Foundation and we had him, Jadon Haselwood (Oklahoma) George Pickens (Georgia) and those freakish athlete type guys. Javon was one of the younger guys then and he had to step it up to get notice and he did.”

Baker showed off his hands during his senior season for the Indians as well. The Alabama signee pulled in 11 receiving touchdowns en route to a nice season for McEachern. Although his hands and his route running have a lot of Alabama fans excited, his biggest asset stands behind the scene

“What a lot of people do not know is that Javon’s biggest asset is his work ethic,” Brown added. “For him to be a kid of his caliber with all the attention that comes his way, he really does not care too much about that. He just continues to work. If we workout today, he will call begging me tomorrow to do it again. He strives for perfection and wants to be great at everything. If he messes up on a route, he is going to do it five or six times until he gets it right. ”

Top Shelf Performance and Brown have worked with some great wide receivers in the past. Not only have they work with current college stars, but they have also work with some NFL talent, including Calvin Ridley and Mecole Hartman. According to Brown, Baker draws comparisons to those guys, but he also does something, that differentiates him from those guys during their high school days.

Notre Dame Mentioned As Possible Week One Opponent for Alabama

quote:

No one knows what the fate of college football will be in 2020, but if it is played, there is the chance we could see some games that were not originally on the schedule due to the shuffling of schedules that might occur if more conferences go to a conference-only schedule.

While the Southeastern Conference is in wait-and-see mode for the rest of the month, and the University of Alabama's season opener will not be against USC, due to the Pac-12 cancelling all non-conference games, there is some speculation on who the Crimson Tide could open up with.

Per Gary Stokan, the President and CEO of the Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl, during his appearance on the Thom Abraham Show in Huntsville on Friday, he mentioned there have been talks of Alabama squaring off against Notre Dame in either Tuscaloosa, South Bend, or Dallas, where the USC game was originally suppose to take place.

Alabama AD Greg Byrne on potential opener vs. Notre Dame (BamaOnLine)
quote:



Before Alabama and Notre Dame fans get too excited, Crimson Tide athletic director Greg Byrne acknowledged Saturday that recent rumblings about a potential 2020 season opener involving the two storied programs is just that — rumors. Byrne wrote on Twitter the matchup will not happen this season, but he's excited about the upcoming future home-and-home series Alabama and Notre Dame have planned down the road...

I am disappoint.

Tim Watts said people with access to the team are saying Ishmael Sopsher has been the most impressive DL so far through workouts.

It appears that BYU may now be Alabama's 1st game this season, if there is a season.

If it's BYU then I believe it will be in T-Town with them getting a bigger cut than a normal visiting team. It is my home that the Bama AD never schedules a PAC12 team. F um.

I'd honestly rather add another SEC game than BYU. Give me Florida or even Kentucky week 1 over BYU. Nothing exciting about that game at all. Heck, at least TCU is a Power 5 school.

Impossible! The coon asses on the Rant said he’s washed out of the program and will hit the transfer portal any day now.

I’m assuming the players roll the chairs out to actually sit in them. I think they just roll them into the alcoves when they leave.
