easy there, a lot of opportunities to do something dumb between now and August. 19 year olds that achieve high levels of success often start making poor decisions, or there poor decisions are more likely to get caught, with the spotlight on him it is harder to get away with it.
He won't enroll for another year at least ( not sure if he's an EE), but I'm just saying in the meantime I bet someone gets in his family's ear about the shape USC will be in for most of his career.
Considering neither were highly thought of coming from HS, Jimbo has a great eye and may be the best QB developer in the country. That's something FSU needed big time.@BFeldmanCBS: Jacob Coker's transfer means 2014 Chick-fil-A Kickoff opener between #WVU-#Bama likely pits 2 teams starting #FSU transfers at QB.
I don't think Jimbo is going to have any problem landing QB recruits in the future.
How do we know these guys are any good?Considering neither were highly thought of coming from HS, Jimbo has a great eye and may be the best QB developer in the country.

I don't think Trickett is any good. I think Coker has a chance to be phenomenal.How do we know these guys are any good?Considering neither were highly thought of coming from HS, Jimbo has a great eye and may be the best QB developer in the country.

Both had one other thing in common, Dameyune Craig.Considering neither were highly thought of coming from HS, Jimbo has a great eye and may be the best QB developer in the country.

Well Jimbo too. And considering he's put three top-15 picks in the nfl in the last 10 years (4 after next year), I think he's the one who has a knack for it.Both had one other thing in common, Dameyune Craig.Considering neither were highly thought of coming from HS, Jimbo has a great eye and may be the best QB developer in the country.

I'm not questioning Fisher as a coach, to me that is obvious, but Craig is the recruiter. Auburn used to have a good hold over the Mobile area back in the 80's and early 90's. That went totally away in recent years. Craig handled that area very well for FSU and has helped Auburn get back into it. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss him, without him Winston may well be wearing another jersey.Well Jimbo too.

Southern Cal was his dream school, but he wasn't going there with Kiffin as a lame duck coach.
Craig is a great recruiter but he's not the reason for Winston's success. He surely had a lot to do with getting him to FSU, but they're still recruiting ok.I'm not questioning Fisher as a coach, to me that is obvious, but Craig is the recruiter.

In case that topic is met with a hostile reception here, you're welcome to drag it over to the O'Bannon lawsuit thread. A bunch of us will have much fun with it there.
It's a SBNation blog site right? So I would say it probably mostly is, but wouldn't bank on all of it being.
Certainly has the look and feel of SBNation. I was just wondering. Was reading an article on roster limits and while the actual article didn't really surprise me, the commenters did. Was wondering if I had stumbled into some abyss (like rcmb for msu fans).
I don't know...considering that Alabama is the largest membership for both Rivals and 247 (I think)...I'd bet the real 'serious' fans are there instead.
It wasn't specific to Alabama....just chose them from the SEC because they probably have the most complex strategy out of all the schools in the SEC. Goes back to the discussion we were having a page or so ago with these various approaches and how legit the NCAA "rules" really are.
Said today he isn't throwing at the combine either. Must just want a legacy job at Bama or something.
That tattoo should have told you everything you need to know about his ability to make a rational decision.
He's going from a superstar, overly adored QB in a nutball area to likely a short career as a backup QB in a major city that doesn't really care about him. Has to be a bit of a weird transition.
He's right. I've heard all season that they were having issues with some of the highly-touted mostly younger talent 'buying in'. AJ was noticeably frustrated in interviews during the year while they were still undefeated. I think I've mentioned it in this thread months ago.McCarron is at the Super Bowl doing interviews for some reason and he's setting fires all over the place on his way out the door.
I've heard him on Francesa's show and Jim Rome's show pretty much blaming the disappointing end of the season on the "entitled" younger players.
He should probably just shut up.

Some of the big problems against AU was assignments missed and poor reactions. Sabans scheme puts a lot of pressure on these kids to make decisions on their own. If you aren't putting everything you have into the prep, you aren't going to execute as well as you could.
One of the key players rumored to be in this group was Cyrus Kuoandjio, who went from the potential #1 pick to a later first rounder, and didn't play well at all in Nov and Jan.
He's always been a little holier than thou and spoiled...no doubt. As far as Alabama goes though...maybe it serves a purpose.

I disagree...I think her ceiling has been hit. An NFL backup and home-state hero is plenty good enough.
CAn you or someone else expand upon Saban's system and why it is so effective? Aside from obviously now being able to get the best players.Some of the big problems against AU was assignments missed and poor reactions.
