I can't speak for whether he or other individual Bama fans already knew, but I knew that was the plan even before you rushed to our RB with your "news flash" post that Taulia was going up to UT. He went for a brief camp-workout and returned to UA, as planned. From what I've seen, it was Vols media and fans who thought he was staying at UT all weekend and thinking about flipping.

I'm 100% sure I qualified my "news flash" with "Probably means nothing". Only reason I brought it up was because I thought it was odd that we were still pursuing him.

Do I need to check the Tualia thread on Volnation? I'm sure you engaged in riveting conversations with the shite chucking retards.

Pruitt is doing a very good job thus far for 2019. One characteristic of a great recruiter is that they leave no stone unturned, though of course there comes a point to where you can waste time. But I can see the rationale for still holding out hope in this case, though in the end there's really not much. But what have you lost, maybe a little discretionary time ? Saban keeps in touch with numerous recruits that he has no intention of bringing in, but he does it "just in case".

I'm one who thinks Pruitt is likely to do a good job. I know I would rather have him than Kirby despite the "country boy" manner. Kirby is good, but Pruitt is a much better position coach, DC and talent evaluator. He is extremely smart and incredibly driven. They are both very good with the kids, Pruitt probably even has a slight edge there too. We just don't know yet from a big picture POV, nor what challenges UT/Fulmer pose. Also, can he hire and handle a good staff ? Can he handle all of those issues ?

Definitely can hire a good staff, improved every position coach, except for maybe running back (although I don't know how much coaching running backs need). Hired one of the best S&C coaches in the business, got Kevin Simon, Montario Hardesty to come home and hired a future rockstar as an Offensive consultant (Joe Osevet). Plus, Neidemeyer is cheat code, Bama can not have him back, we're keeping him.


Now, maintaining a staff remains to be seen, I know his intensity rubs some people the wrong way.

Alabama just offered 2019 QB Cornelius Brown. Something is going on.

Yeah. It’s called a transfer.

So you think Bama takes three QBs in one class?

The last QB offer is an insurance policy. I don’t think it’s even committable at this point.

It isn't currently, based on what people close to Quad have said. The fact that it happened, however, suggests that Saban is not as confident in keeping the commits he currently has. I'd say that Little Tua is seriously looking at Tennessee.

Hello, I’m Quads GodDad. His offer is contingent on either a transfer, which is likely, or a flip, which sounded like was likely as well. Quad is also heading to UT this weekend to throw for the Vols. At this point, he has Vandy as his top team, with Tennessee/Bama second should he get the UT offer this weekend.

Part of this will be timing with him. Quad desires to have this wrapped up prior to the season, so he can focus on his Senior year.

That would mean, a domino would need to drop at Bama prior to then and a UT offer happen prior to then for him not to go to Vandy. He is no longer interested in any other program regardless of offer.

He is zeroed in on those 3 programs only.

Loved them. We were both very impressed with them. They gave him a private workout prior to the camp with 6 staff members including them. He killed it. The. He killed the camp in front of Nick.

They like him a lot. Gave him the first class treatment. I brought Jayson Jones with me. Obviously he’s going to Bama. Jayson really wants to play in college with Quad. We will see.

Thanks for the info. I think we all know Jalen will either transfer before or after this season, so that's gonna happen. As far as a flip, I don't see it. Tyson and Lia both have huge family ties to Bama. Lia is still looking around though so this is probably a way to cover our bases should he flip, and perhaps also send a message to Lia that "hey, you shop kid...we can shop too." That said, Quad seems like a solid player and Bama would certainly be glad to have him if something works out! Of course, you can't go wrong with a Vandy education either.

Also I have reason to believe that Tualia ends up at LSU

He never elaborated, so I'm not sure if there is some truth to this or not?
