Bama fan spin: Signing Landon Collins was like USC signing Reggie Bush

That is the feeling I get with alot of Bama fans up here. They act like they signed the most complete player in the country. They have a feeling he will be the Bama version of Corey Webster but bigger and faster. Collins will be a force to deal with in the upcoming years. I actually cannot wait when Hilliard puts tire tracks on him. Do you all get the same feeling?

Great, that means they'll be on probation soon.

Huge difference between Corey Webster and Reggie Bush.
And there's no way he has the kind of impact RB did just because of the difference in positions.
I could definitely see him being a Webster type player though.

He is the most complete player in this state....and was only a few miles from LSU.

I can tell you I would be just ask excited as they are had he signed with us. And I believe...YES, he will be an excellent player. Unfortunately, he'll be their excellent player. They have every right in the world to be excited about him, and their entire class.

Do u expect any alabama fans to be modest about anything? They jack themselves off more than any fanbase in the country.

WheN I saw him play in person I wasn't extremely impressed, but he was fast and looked pretty strong I guess.

No player is a "can't miss", but LC is about as close as they come. I expect him to be very good. I hate that he decided on Bama instead of LSU, but I'm not suddenly going to think he is a lesser talent.

I'd like to point out to anyone who can read - you'll have to verbalize this to the gumps - the last time a recruit with that type of status left the state, he watched the Tigers win a National Title while his collegiate career ended with little achievement in a program headed to probation. I only hope that Landy and Shiro experience the same sort of success that Joe Mc had. Bad decision boys - very bad.

In all honesty, yes, he would have been nice to have. But what did the staff do when they found out he was not coming here? Yeah, they replaced him with a guy who, on film, looks just as good and played h.s. ball in a division way more talented than what Dutchtown is in, and that is no offence to them.
And oh by the way, any real difference in these numbers?

Do you think they paid that much to his girl friend? He's just p-whippedby g/f and wanted to get away form Momma

Hopefully he's more of a Joe McKnight... A bust

The feeling I got was that that Safety wanted to play for the best defensive coach in America and went to Bama to do that.......

Not one BAMA fan I know has compared Collins to Reggie Bush, mainly because most BAMA fans I know are fairly knowledgeable about the sport, and don't go comparing safeties to running back/receivers very often.. He looks to be a great prospect though. I really think 1/9 has fried some of you LSU guys..

From a Bama fan: no spin here. He looks like a great player with a good head on his shoulders and we were fortunate to get him from LSU's backyard. But he is a cog in the machine that is Bama's program right now. He is no more or less valuable than anyone else in this class. You are trying to manufacture a story where there is none, I do not see many Bama fans pumping this guy up to extreme levels, and certainly no self respecting Bama fan would ever compare one of our own to a USC player.

Maybe Bama provided as many family "perks" to Collins as the Trojans did Bush...?
