This from CBS 42 (Birmingham CBS station) sports anchor Chris Breece:

I’m told Alabama WR DeVonta Smith is planning on staying for his senior season, as of right now. Obviously things can change with so much time left. But this is the first round of potential good news for #Alabama

Key words in there, "as of right now"

I won't believe anything until Smith or Bama announces it.

True, and I agree. That said, this really is the first we have heard this info from a literal news source.

Yeah, I mean, I'll take this over a report that says that he is leaning towards leaving.

Agreed, it's so important to keep at least one of the big 3 from this year. Hopefully we land one of the elite WR's saban is going after

Yep. Every single one of these threads are pointless until either the player or school announces it.

The optimist in me says that this means Tua is leaning towards coming back but has not made a final decision yet, thus the "as of right now" qualifier. I can imagine Smitty and/or Ruggs could see the value in not going pro in such a stacked WR class as long as they know they'll have Tua throwing them the ball if they come back.

Nick must know who which are returning since the number he signs depends on open slots and we're talking about 6-8 slots.

I was under the impression that we have 4 spots left, and it could be 5 if Jayson Jones looks elsewhere or Tim Smith flips to UF.

My guess is that the 5 big targets are Ronald Williams, Arian Smith, Darnell Washington, Phillip Webb, and Jase McClellan and at the very best we end up with 4 of them.

I forgot, you know all and we should consult you before starting a thread.

Again, I posted it because this is one of the first reports from a legitimate news source. Doesn’t mean it’ll be correct, obviously, but is worthy of some attention.

I don't know shite except all of this "he's leaning x way" stuff is meaningless.

He doesn't even say who/where he's hearing it from. Just "I'm told..."

“I’m told”

“Planning on”

“As of right now”

“Things can change”

“Potential”

Did you give yourself enough outs Chris Breece (whoever that is)?
