Thanks for the link. Really appreciate big Andre. I'd love to see him hang on for a Senior season, but BIG $$$ becons in the NFL. Don't blame him a bit if (when) he declares early.

Yep, he'll certainly be hard to replace, but we are in much better shape to do it now than we have been in years (thank you Coach Saban). The good news is, having him enter the draft and be an almost certain lock as a top 15 pick as a junior... that brings some good pub our way. Especially to others who want to follow in those same footsteps (cough *Bobbie Massie* cough). The last several years, we have seen the Crimson Tide players in the NFL dip from an overall numbers standpoint. The influx is about to begin again though, and don't think for a second it won't be noticed (and pointed out in case they don't) by the blue chippers all across the nation... making Saban's job (in terms of recruiting recruiting) a little easier.

Damn, that education that you are getting at the U of A is certainly not going to waste! :wink:

Great post!!!

Could big Andre ever be appreciated enough? He's not perfect, but he is a crucial part of our success. I love his demeanor and attitude. He has never been anything but an asset since his arrival.

With all that was happening at the time we were very fortunate to get him and fortunate to have him on our line now.

"A lot of guys told me a year ago that they thought I was going to be arrogant when I came in," he said. "But that's not me. I'm cool, calm and laid back."

My favorite part about Smitty...his attitude.

Either way (if he stays or goes) I am glad to have him in crimson and white.
