Apparently parks is crying and telling everyone he doesn't know who he is signing with. Poor kid. Pisses me off.


Don't know what happened, and I am really confused.

I thought if Solomon said no then JP would get that scholly, and we close with ruggs, ray, parks, and smith?

We had room for this didn't we? Even if we get a surprise kid it's going to feel bittersweet

we all have fans who try to change the narrative on a kid when they think he's going elsewhere. someone the other day said Parks didn't have enough "dog" in him.


That was me, and I'll stand by that opinion regardless of where he signs. His measurables are nice. His film is meh and he's a mild mannered kid. We have a lot of guys that play angry, I'm not sure Parks has that in him

I dont see how we would've had a spot for Solomon and not Parks... Math is hard

I just do not like non Bama fans posting on this board.


You're sounding like an L6U fan now.

I like him. He adds to the conversation

Darius Philon tore me up inside. I love Alabama but part of me hopes Parks goes where he is truly wanted and I think that is florida.

If we had a scholly available for Solomon, not sure why that is not available now. May come down to a pride issue

Shocker! A very emotional Jarez Parks says he will announce later today. Silence in the auditorium. #TCPrepZone #@NSD17

If he's all Bama and room to take him has been dependent on Solomon, seems like he should've already pushed his announcement back a bit.

Yeah this situation pisses me off. Supposed to be one of the best days of this kids life and he's up there confused and crying.

Over half the stuff we hear from our fans sources is rubbish.

Yeah I dont get this.

How the hell do we have a spot for Solomon but no spot for Parks?

Wr get Smith, Ruggs and Ray that would give us 28 total... 26 if you blue shirt Bulovas and Brannon.

How the hell can we not sign 27???

The last guy we did this to is now a contributor for the Chargers. Please don't do this again, staff. Looks like this kid is dying to play at Bama.

L6U fans celebrating Solomon to UM on their recruiting board like they did when Clemson won the playoff.

Bone regarding Parks:

quote:

Numbers.....plain and simple. They were going to have to figure something out if Solomon announced for UA.


Makes sense because DT is a position of extreme need for UA and they were willing to do whatever had to be done to make room for Soloman. They may be willing to do it for a grad transfer DT as well since again it's a position of need and Jack OLB isn't as high right now.
