Hearing Tyrene Jones is transferring soon...



I hope not. I personally think he can beat out Tenpenny this year. Altee was just more ready physically last year, but Tyren has more talent, imo.

How much postage did Alabama waste sending him those one hundred offer letters through the mail?


If he's smart and it doesn't sound like he is he might just transfer over to Jacksonville State and make something out of his life.

Probably thinking he shouldve went to UGA now.


What makes you think he didn't? We had so much success with our 2 previous manchurian HCs at UF and UT and we wanted to do a dry run with a player. Dude did ok, we'll see where we go from here.

Probably the hardest part of coaching.

With Kamara out we have:

TJ Yeldon (Jr)
Kenyan Drake (Jr)
Derrick Henry (So)
Tyren Jones (RsFr)
Altee Tenpenny (So)
Bo Scarbrough* (Fr)

I don't count Fowler because I think his days as a tailback are done, and Hart may stay with the team , and he may not, but I don't know if he'll find significant carries again. Bo is just a commit, and we don't know for sure if he'll qualify, and on top of that he may not even play RB full time.


Jones could see solid carries this year before being a 1-2 punch with Henry in 15.

Yeldon was good in 2012. Don't know what is so funny about that .


He was good both years. Still averaged 6 YPC this year

This. I think people are putting too much stock into his fumble problem this year. He didn't have it as a Freshman, just like he didn't dance as a Freshman but did a lot more dancing this past season. I think it was just his own way of having a Sophomore Slump.

He will be good if/when he gets his act together. Right now he would either need to start right away or he'd probably be a cancer in he locker room for another team. Good thing for the new school is that he has to sit out a year.

Well he did have a fumble that almost cost us the LSU game in 2012 before redeeming himself on the game winning TD.

Um, the "fumble" he had against LSU was AJ's fault, but TJ gets credit for it. All AJ. Now, TJ did fumble against A&M, but that's it.

It's just tough to keep a sleeper agent in place for very long as a player. He scared off a few recruits by talking shite about Bama on their OV, but after that he was done.

He would have been the white boy's backup here at UGA...

Before this past season he had an argument for that. Right now Hill makes Yeldon look like a 14 year old girl.

And some of you still wonder why the very ground at Neyland attacked you this year.

Our oline also wasn't cutting it. Last year they made holes that I could run through. This year the rbs were lucky if they made it out of the backfield without contact.

Also Yeldon has had some nagging injuries all year. Not any hand/arm injury that prevented him from hanging on to the ball
