The problem with Bama is you could be a starter and never start there because of another 4 or 5 star player.
Absolutely correct. These kids have been the best they've ever played against for most of their lives though. Don't think most go into a situation thinking they can't win the job.
Fear of the competition isn't a good trait to have either.

Yea I can't fault a kid for going to Bama if he thinks his position/play style doesn't translate well to our team. Look at Andrew Jones as an example, not a TE/WR hybrid and could have played more at so many schools.
The nice thing is we have been able to identify and bring in a good number of the actual difference makers from in state. Not long ago Gabbert/Richardson, recently Boehm/DGB/Abbington and now Lock/Strong/etc.
We need to string together some years of success, repeating last season's win # would be a good start. Hell most of these kids now where in diapers when Brad Smith was playing.

I don't think wanting to play and giving yourself a better shot at contributing is a fear of the competition. I also don't think Mizzou is worried about TE.
