Did Spikes help,hurt, or maintain his draft position by staying for another year? In relation to Rolondo McClain, does Ro bump Spikes to a lower spot if he comes out this year? Both are first day draft picks but there is a difference in the money a top 5 pick makes and what a top 10 or 15 gets.

Unfortunately, Ro isn't coming back. We should all go ahead and accept that and wish him well.

here's the picture from the Tuscaloosa News




Tuscaloosa News covergage on the award to McClain

quote:

He was told to arrive at the Mal Moore Athletics Building for what he was told were to be media interviews, but after a few minutes of speaking with UA coach Nick Saban, Butkus walked in the room with the trophy and McClain knew that he had been had.

"This was a real fun thing we did today," Saban said. "Ro didn't know. We were having an interview like we were on (the air) and Dick walks in and gives him the award, so he really got surprised. It was a lot of fun, we really enjoyed it."

"You think you're a pretty good linebacker, then Dick Butkus walks in the room," said McClain.

He deserves the award, but man we are going to miss him calling the plays on D next year. Good Luck in the NFL, Hope he gets drafted by the Dolphins.

No one deserved it more. Man, it kills me to say that about an Alabama player but it is the truth.
