These kids all knew what they were getting into. The best player will play. Gotta expect to compete when you sign up to play at bama. It's normal though for a freshman that's used to being the man to be frustrated at lack of PT. They've all got potential to have great careers.

Actually,you do not know what you are getting into. You are being courted by these big time coaches and boosters... At that age when someone it selling you that hard and you are the star of your HS team, and was the star of your JV team, and the star of your peewee team, you are not remotely of the mind set that you are going to spend 3 years on the bench competing. They tell them they have to compete for the spot, but all the other actions by the recruiters towards the kids make them feel like it is all about them... And you can not fault them as every football team they have ever been on it was all about them typically. Especially RBs. The fault lies in the parents to some extent, but more in the HS coaches for not shooting them real straight.... But when parents...especially non custodial and coaches are also being courted by boosters and proxies, kids may well not have an injection of reality in this decision. This is not just Alabama, but they do have a system in place that is a little more overt than some other schools.
