Grades. And what I mean by grades is Tagovailoa doesn't have especially strong grades. They're good enough to get him into school, including Oregon. But ultimately what scared Oregon off is you don't want your quarterback to be dumb or lazy.



That last line would be enough to turn me off of a certain school.

Grades aren't superb, must be dumb or lazy.

And it took this long for them to be convinced otherwise...

Somehow his grades were no longer an issue for them after their 2017 QB decommitted. Funny how that works.

If you think Alabama's offense is loaded with playmakers now, wait until Najee Harris — the top player in the 2017 class according to the 247Sports Composite — and four-star quarterback Mac Jones step on campus in 2017.

Participating in Saturday's Rivals Five-Star camp in Atlanta, the two Alabama commits are already showing the camaraderie needed between a signal caller and his tailback.

Check out this throw from Jones to Harris inside the Georgia Dome taken by Woody Wommack, a southeast recruiting analyst for Rivals. Jones takes a five-step drop before firing one to the sideline on the mark to Harris, who's being covered by uncommitted five-star linebacker Baron Browning.

Jones decommitted from Kentucky last week and chose the Crimson Tide, lifting Alabama's 2017 class to No. 2 nationally, per the 247Sports Team Composite rankings.

Kind of strange having 247 refer to a Rivals Camp.

Some Hawaiian sportscaster named Sam Spangler responded to an Oregon fan who asked about Tua after getting their offer yesterday:

@LJGinger I don't have any reason to believe he would decommit from Bama.


He at least has feet on the ground in Hawaii as opposed to that Justin Hopkins dude.

ATLANTA - The first session of the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge Presented by Under Armour kicked off Saturday morning in the Georgia Dome. Prospects from around the country competed against their peers, the best of the best. Several standouts impressed, while others didn't quite live up to expectations.

Here is a recap of the action from Saturday's morning session.

Leatherwood continues to show improvement at basically every camp he attends, and this trend continued this morning. One of the more physically imposing players at the entire event, Leatherwood proved that he could back that up with a dominating individual performance during 1-on-1s. Aside from all of the impressive physical attributes he showcased, he also played with great energy and fire, which should have Alabama fans excited about his future.

While Jeudy is the No. 44 recruit in the Rivals100, it was still surprising to see him outperform all five wide receivers, including three five-stars, who are ranked ahead of him during the morning session. He ran impressive routes, displayed reliable hands, showed a good burst of speed and made several difficult catches look easy. While other receivers also shined, Jeudy was the most consistent and explosive.

The No. 13 recruit in the Rivals100 struggled throughout the morning in coverage while playing linebacker. He seemed slow at times and did not show great instincts while covering the athletic running back group. He hasn’t developed into the impressive quick twitch defender we expected him to be, so it will be interesting to see if he can show signs of improvement this afternoon.

So Moses has already dropped to #13 on Rivals and is disappointing their writers at their premier camp event. I bet he loses his 5th star before too long.

Crazy, huh?

I think alot of his rating early was due to his size/physique.
