Smart decision. He would have been lucky to get drafted much before the 6th or 7th

As lucky as Tom Brady or Jamarcus Russell

Just saying, luck is what you make of it...

Great news. We should be in the hunt next year as well.

Do we now still offer McLeod in addition to Bateman? I can't see why we need both now with AJ staying.

Touche. I will give you that. But, I think he benefits greatly by coming back compared to leaving early. Brady came back too didnt he?

I was just thinking that very same thing

Good thing! Aj is good but a long way from Pro level IMO.

 

[JoshB]

Great to hear.

 

[PhillyGirl]

Awesome! It will be great to see him hopefully continue to improve. He really is an underrated player.

 

[XXL TideFan]

Could conceivably leave Bama as the QB with the most wins.

 

[bamaraider]

Good decision. Beside our o-line and Michael Williams, we pretty much reload on offense and bring in some highly touted RB's.

With the way AJ is playing, he will probably be considered the best QB to ever play at the UofA..

I think the offer will still be out for McCloud and Bateman regardless of AJ's decision. You always want at least 1 QB with each incoming class. Ely, Sims, Morris, McCloud, and Bateman will be in the fold to learn behind and from AJ. McCloud will no doubt get the redshirt, while Bateman could possibly come in and push for #2. This might push Ely to look elsewhere. Just speculation, no evidence. Sims stays because he knows his talents can and will be used. Morris could be another looking to go somewhere else.
