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?

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.

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.
