Gonna be a good receiver class next year also. But either way we are glad he came back.

It’s a legit question. Figured he would’ve been a first-rounder.

With a questionable QB situation, seems like the time to go.

Well he get to basically be the man next year and have better numbers not having to compete with Ruggs and Jeudy for touches. He’ll have Waddle there but I’d bet he’ll be the clear number 1.

And no O.C.

And less quality WRs he'll be playing with means he'll draw more attention.

Stupid decision to come back.

He just didn't feel he was good enough to go Pro after facing LSU's defensive backs.


Smith had 7 catches for 213 yards against those coonass defenders.

Alabama has the best situation at QB in the SEC next year.

Umm, no.

And I didn’t say bad, I said questionable.

Do you have a guaranteed starter?

No.

So, by definition, your quarterback situation is questionable.

Questionable in the way the competition between Tua and Jalen was questionable? I'd agree

Was not gonna be a top 5 WR this year. IMO he is WR#2 next year only behind Ross.


He is a great player though. He was the only receiver all year that got the better of Stingley and Stingley is the best Freshman CB I’ve ever seen.

I’m surprised. He seems NFL ready to me. Maybe it has to do with so many top receivers coming out this year?

I thought he was the best wide receiver they had this year.

He should be a no brainer 1st rounder and isn’t.
