Location won’t be an issue. Tua will simply send a jet to pick little bro up on Sunday mornings and fly him home after the game.

Right.. I’m sure his parents won’t have any financial issues traveling.


Dad made the decision to go to Bama, not Tua

There comes a point when you'd like to think you've raised them to go and make good decisions on their own.

He's done a great job raising both of them, now is the time to let go.

If you ever saw Taulia in HS, you had to question his decision to go to Bama. I do not think he was ever going to be an elite SEC caliber QB, but you knew his parents were pushing Bama to offer.

Lot of teams thought otherwise. Lia can play, he’s just doomed to be compared to his brother and isn’t as locked in or talented.

LSU for one had him at the top of their board.

None of the guys signed last year in the SEC would hold off Young long so there are going to be a number of transfers regardless.

Have to imagine the Tangelovas are extremely excited that the Tuscalousy phase of their life is over.

Happy for them!

“My three years at the University of Alabama have been the epitome of a roller coaster,” Tagovailoa said. “I’ve had a fair share of ups, of many ups and a handful of downs. And I couldn’t be happier to know that with all the success and failures I’ve had here at the university, it’s prepared me for life in general.”

Ed O wanted him bad.

But the Tagovailoa's already had an attachment to Alabama. Diane was crying at Tua's press conference to leave Alabama.

They were very conflicted. But Tua said Saban told him don't let his attachment to Alabama and their relationship to sway him.

But Tua said he was close to staying.

Ed O gave Taulia the special privilege of being the only recruit to do a pregame walk of the field prior to the game. He paraded him like a proud, weird uncle with a grin on his face. Ultimately he would lose the recruiting battle.


Prior to LSU’s 29-0 blowout loss at home to Alabama on Saturday night, Taulia Tagovailoa and Orgeron were seen strolling around Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, with the highly sought-after recruit dawning noticeable purple and gold credentials

That was when O had Saban on his mind 24/7. More of an attempt to convince LSU fans he could still a recruit from under Saban's nose. I really think Saban would have let him.

What a terrible father! Raising two kids that by all accounts are tremendous human beings who both have Christ and their family at the epicenter of their lives.
