Saw his HS highlight film. The kid can throw a nice ball.

Hmmmmmm I don't get it...... We have TT from Hawaii. How well has it worked out to have 2 QBs in the same class??

Kentucky QB coach is mad! Posted this a half hour ago. Bama fans are jabbing him in the comments.

Rivals is high on this guy and saying he can put the ball in places a lot of other guys cant. Said he's got a great skill set, but when things aren't good he tends to downward spiral.

He subtweeted Mac Jones. Guess he missed the news on the TAMU coach who did the same thing.

 

[Tidestalker]

Very cool! I'm usually a big fan of taking 2 QB's each class... Just don't like them all hanging around so long lol.

All I could find was his soph highlights. Kid had a beautiful release even back then


I can def see why the staff would take another talented QB. HOWEVER... I really, really hope the kid from Hawaii was made aware, and we hang onto him. He is so intriguing. Don't think any QB commitment in the country would be worth losing him IMO.

Never know how a guy will work out once he's on campus. Look at the year we brought in five running backs and how only two made it, yet how we ended up lacking depth. We stock up each year at a certain position it seems. Also appears to be a good defensive move. If their talent is on your roster, they can't beat you as a rival.

 

[TheChief]

If I was coaching, I'd take more than one. What are the odds both of these guys stay commited until next February?

I'll bet anyone on the board a steak dinner right before next year's opening day baseball game that they don't both sign on the dotted line. Any takers?

 

[TUSKtimes]

The amount of talent that keeps streaming in at all positions is just amazing to me. Bama is going to have something really special behind center sooner rather than later.

I would guess the Kentucky coach will be getting most of the attention on this flip. It can't be good to have your rant tweet come back from a recruit as correction. "Nothing but respect for the program, yet an old man is acting like a 12 year old."

How do you divorce yourself of that tweet?

 

[TheChief]

Very telling tweet for sure. Very telling...

 

[PhillyGirl]

Mac has already been reaching out to other class of 2017 players to get them to Bama. Love it.

@TUSKstuff, where is the "nothing but respect etc." quote from? I don't see that.

He also retweeted something of Lane Kiffin's .. Lol.

Saw this yesterday. Mac shouldn't have deleted this in my opinion.

Bravo Lane Kiffin.

 

[TheChief]

Geesh, Old man Hinshaw is 44! What a geezer!!!!

Bravo Lane Kiffin.

That shot at the evil empire is not going to go over well, it never has. Just going to make the Kentucky game a lot more interesting in BDS. Maybe why Kiffin wasn't interested in unringing the bell.

Oh shit, didn't see that one.

Well .. he ain't wrong ..

Butt hurt, just a little coach? That assistant knows the layout of the land. Down the hall sits Calipari. Let me count the 5* basketball recruits who have left the state the past few years to go play for big blue. Now, if you really want to talk about evil. Most would recognize Kentucky as Alabama in another sport when it comes to cherry picking. Besides, we've been plucking the best out of the bluegrass state back to Shaun Alexander and beyond. Seems like both traditions are in fine working order.

Back to back rings with one instance.

Pretty damn good, IMO.

Took their boy Damien Harris too, #1 back in the country that year.
