I think Harris ends up @ LSU as well, he is open though.. ...

All of our QB offers will be non-committable until camp is over on Wednesday... then it may take a day or so for the staff to discuss. The gut feeling here is Cornwell is 1a and Harris is 1b. I expect us to end up with Cornwell but I would love to see Bama with a legit dual-threat guy...

If Cornwell is 1A and Harris is 1B, then why did Saban tell Harris he was better than Cornwell and he doesn't even have to throw for him at camp yet Cornwell does?

Saban told Harris he was the best qb he has ever evaluated per pay site
How can Saban tell him that yet his offer is still uncomittable until after camp

I wasn't in the room but I would imagine that you tell these kids some half truths to keep the interest mutual... Harris probably wouldn't have loved his trip so much if Saban would have told him "well, lets see what Cornwell does and we'll get in touch with you". A little common sense goes a long way...
Regarding the paysite of Harris being told he didn't have to throw, yet Cornwell does... i'm not so sure Cornwell does. I do know that Coach Nuss has recently went and evaluated Harris and Cornwell at their school and probably got a good enough idea of what they could do. Saban just prefers watching QB's throw in a camp setting first, but i still 100% believe that no QB can commit until camp is over and all QB's have been watched. If Bama had let Cornwell commit last night, that would be horrible PR for the kids driving several hours to camp hoping to earn that solid offer. This is a snip of a paysite article from 2 days ago.
quote:
Harris talked with Saban about his current non-committable offer, and how that could change soon.
“I took away Coach Saban does his quarterback evaluation totally different than everyone else. I know they have a camp tomorrow. He’s going to evaluate those other guys. Since he already evaluated me, I don’t have to go through it for him, thank God. I’m going to let him do his evaluation and when he tells me everything is right, we’ll go from there.”
Saban did tell Harris he was the best QB he had evaluated at the college level but I have my doubts if that's true... Harris does have some really good film and maybe Saban really just wants a dual threat guy? I still think when the dust settles, Cornwell will commit to Bama and Harris to LSU.

Yep, they want Cornwell, but Harris is a good B/U plan....Thats what I take from that...

If that's the case why would Saban tell Harris he's the best hes ever evaluated plus he's not making him throw at camp?
Seems like Saban wants to see if Cornwell is better, or as good as Harris, and if he is, Saban will let Cornwell commit. If he's not saban is gonna turn up the heat on Harris and tell Harris he was always his #1 guy and put cornwell on the backburner.

That may be true but I just get the feel that Saban actually really wants Harris... but with him not committing till later, it would be a gamble. Cornwell wants to commit really soon and he is a for sure thing.
Year before last, we gambled with Jameis Winston and went after Gunner Kiel (wow) and ended up losing them both. I dont think Saban lets that happen again, that's why i say we end up with Cornwell.

remember this name Ricky Town. Was offered after camp. It maybe conditioned on what harris and Cornwell do, but I believe neither Cornwell or harris will sign with bama. JMO

You should probably figure out what class everyone is in before you start giving out opinions on who will and wont sign with Bama.

Nope.

"Coach Saban has never lied to me and he's never tried to sugar coat things and he told me I'm one of the best quarterbacks he has ever evaluated in terms of talent. That means a lot coming from him because he's not the kind of guy to say things like that unless he means them."

copying pay site info is frowned upon.
who wrote that article?
the article I'm referring to is from scout and it clearly states exactly what I said.

They kind of mean the same thing. Now that seems a lot more realistic. I couldn't believe Saban would tell any kid he was THE best he has ever evaluated regardless of who it is.
