The numbers just didn't work out for him at Bama.
He would've been in the class if he wanted to, at the end...Alabama tried hard to flip him. He just didn't buy any of it.

He would have had a spot at the end, but after a year of being told "No" he decided against it. Regardless we signed a full class. We didn't hold a spot for him.

At the end, probably. In the beginning he got the cold shoulder. Not sure why we ever tried with LF. I guess we could afford to since we had taken four top running backs last year. Come to think of it, Im not sure why we pursued him late in the process either. He is a solid rb, but we have more pressing needs than rb. Plus there are a ton of talented options next year.

In the end, though, who cares how they ended up at the school or where they wanted to go in the beginning. Point is that he will be a beast for AU until he moves on to the NFL. Same type of thing with Evans. He celebrated our demise two and a half months before he signed with us.
