Jones coming to campus over 400 pounds
Deonte Brown came in over 400 pounds as well. We didn't run him off before he had a chance to get in shape with our strength and conditioning program.

then not buckling down and making the grades needed to pass didn't help his cause
We have kids not make it in due to grades every year. I mean, our starting RB this year didn't make the grades coming out of high school. We didn't give up on him either.
Our staff thought enough of Jones to take his commitment very early in last year's cycle due to his potential. Is that potential not there anymore because he didn't do so hot in the classroom and gained some weight?

Some dude was given access to the CB feature on 247 and practically predicted every top prospect in the state of Texas to Texas.

Basically, Kirby and Bo wanted him (before we really decided to go a lot lighter). Pruitt doesn't.

Ok here goes.......Deonte Brown is with the team because he made the grades. He will be given an opportunity to reduce his weight. If he does, he stays, if not he will be processed.
Hulk is a Davis recruit, and Davis leaving also impacting him "wanting" to come to Bama. I have been told by two seperate reporters for Bama sites that Hulk will not be a member of the Crimson Tide. I was told by a recruit that the staff was VERY unhappy when he showed up at 400 pounds because they were asking him to give reports on his weight periodically and he was lying about it to them.
I can only go by what I am told, now they could be feeding me BS.......but knowing the 3 involved, and the info I have received from each, I seriously doubt it.

Attitude is the unknown factor here.
