Expect the unexpected. Da U would be the best choice.

Would they even want him? Lia is small school talent bottom line.

Sorry was trying to agree with you and point out the ridiculousness of rescueT's comment at the same time.

He was the #5 Pro prospect in his class. Not a small school talent, still P5.

Rankings don’t mean they pan out. See Cooper Bateman and Blake Barnett.

Where did I ever say having Tua was a burden?


Another poster said "Glad the drama that has surrounded that family and mainly TUA is finally gone."

The point is that the guy he is glad is gone won a national title for UA

Yeah, we get it. But Tua wasn't the first to win a NC under Saban and he probably won't be the last.

I'll take a NC over not having one but the drama surrounding his father and family was borderline ridiculous.

The vitriol for this kid and his parents is expected here.

Yes,Bama have won many NCs, his "helicopter" dad MADE him come here. Opened up our O and showed a B Young that bama can change to the modern 7 on 7 style.

A HS #1 DT QB lived up to every expectation, Nick compares him to Drew Brees and Aaron rodgers.


Best Bama QB ever, dare any of you to name another.

Not going to lie, I hated seeing Tua leave . Wish him well but I have nothing negative to say about his ability or character . He changed Bama for the better IMO and his story kept Bama in the headlines

Come on man, there really wasn't that much drama with Tua and Taulia and his dad. What is all this drama that you are referring to?

Well if you don’t think Tua was a great QB or whatever point you are trying to convey , then maybe you aren’t into it as much as you think

There is no football without players and there are no players who don't have storylines.

Miami has Diaz and Lashlee as OC... will that be attractive to the family? Don't know.

UCF and USF are 3+ hour drives... is that close enough to Miami?

They enrolled Tualia into Thompson... not a school in Tuscaloosa. Maybe that was a way to be close but not put him completely in Tua's shadow even though it was impossible to not be in his shadow in Alabama.

I think he will end up out of Miami but either at UCF or USF. Close enough to be with both sons when needed/wanted but keeps Tualia out from under older brothers immediate shadow. Just a guess like anyone elses I guess.


Tua was alot of fun to watch at UA... even though I miss the days of line up and pound the ball, playing field position etc,

Now get off my lawn I guess...

You starting this "surprise"/"I told you" thread and some of your other posts in it don't seem to align with that claim.

Where did I ever say that Tua was NOT a great quarterback? That's understood by default.

Its totally OK to separate his greatness from his fathers demanding nature.

Are we getting so PC that we can't acknowledge both at the same time?

What demands did he make ? IDK just asking

He demanded Tua come to Bama so I kind of liked that

And the brother, who allegedly didn't want to come here.

And? Disagree with the parenting style if you want, but don't act like there was any drama caused. At no point did Tua or Taulia do anything that could be deemed dramatic.
