I want to see Bolden returning punts. I'm not asking for much, just a punt returner

I wonder how many times Bolden has fumbled in his career.

They don't show you that stuff in highlight reels.

So with Jordan Davis and Cameron Latu on board, how do we feel about KJ Henry and Eyabi Anoma?

Tua is our best recruiter. I think, we would have lost Najee without him, and from the article, it seems like he was important here as well.

What kind of puppy do you have Cobrasize?
I have an 18 month old Saint Bernard and she tips the scales at 130.

Add Anoma and Fox. Leave Henry alone with him possibly wanting to be a package with his dad.

Alabama has added a major piece to its 2018 class in four-star defensive end Cameron Latu, he announced on Friday.

The Salt Lake City (Utah) Olympus product chose the Tide over USC, Nebraska, Utah, and Washington during a ceremony at his high school.

“Just their coaching staff I’m very comfortable,” Latu recently said about the Tide. “I love their coaching staff. My position coach, Tosh Lupoi, is just a really good guy. I feel like his energy would get me ready for the next level.”

A one-time BYU commit, Latu projects as a linebacker in Alabama’s defense.

Alabama offered Latu during his visit in January for Junior Day. Following the trip, the 6-foot-5, 236-pounder named UA his leader. A few weeks later he backed off naming any top schools as more interest from other programs generated. Instead, he opted to go with a top five of the above-mentioned schools.

The newest Tide commit isn't the only one fond of the Alabama program.

“I do favor (Alabama), but I just don’t want that to influence him at all and he knows, but he also knows I will support anywhere he decides to go,” Latu's mother, Jill Argust, said of Bama following their third trip to Tuscaloosa last month. “It’s his life, not mine. I do love it there, and I think that would be where he’d be happy as well.”

Latu is rated the No. 8 weak-side defensive end, and the No. 149 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.

The Utah product is commitment No. 9 for Alabama, bumping the Tide up to the No. 31 class in the country, per the 247Sports Team Rankings.

The Crystal Ball hit as the Tide was the favorite at 76 percent over USC and Utah.

We don't usually have a problem finding punt returners (despite the one year... 2014??... where we seemed to fumble a punt return every other game), but trying to get a good kick return game for us is about like pulling teeth. Last year, I was to the point that I was desperately hoping the other team would just kick it in the endzone. We rarely made it to the 25 when we'd return it, and would just be risking a turnover or an injury. I don't know if it's the returners, the schemes or the blocking, but whatever it is, we have stunk at it recently.

REALLY like Latu. And if looks matter, he's going to be a great player. He's looks like a baaaaaaaad man. Someone you wouldn't want to mess with. Looks like he should ride with a motorcycle gang.
