Louisiana athlete Slade Bolden commits to Alabama

INTERESTING!!!

Got to tell you... Watching those highlights he plays a lot like a guy we saw a lot of here in CO... C. McCaffrey.

Not saying he's on that level by any means, but his role as a RB/Slot/QB and his style reminds me of Christian. Bolden's speed is undeniable, and while he doesn't run soft, Christian had freakish lower body strength to run through tackles. Don't think Bolden is that strong, yet.

In the past I've been kind of disappointed in taking smaller slot WR/RB types, but I like this pickup. Mostly because he has enough size to play an outside position or play both sides on special teams. Plus he's just a really good football player... Never know when you'll need that type of versatility (Christian Jones comes to mind).

Lastly - At this point we are so stacked at WR, taking a versatile guy just makes sense. Jeudy/Smith/Ruggs is a group that may set some records together. Can afford to take a different type of player at that position.

RTR!

Coach Saban finds football players and even though this pick comes across as more of a Vinnie Sunseri type right now, he is well thought of. LSU fans feel he is yet another one from North LA that got away. Probably going to end up a 4 * before it's said and done.

If NS offers....their stars dont matter....his eval period is so complete..... (and ratings go up nd people start to notice whenNS offers....Jacobs for instance)
if he turns out like vinnie..we got a winner
