🏈 Barnett & Bateman felt decieved by Saban

Best wishes to the both of them. Hopefully, they will get to play at Arizona State and Utah. Sometimes, things just do not work out like you hope and that was the case in Tuscaloosa.

So BB8 thought he was good enough and should have been the starter at Bama last year. Isn't he the backup or competing for backup at his new school? Face it, you had a year to absorb the Tide offense as a redshirt freshman and you still were not good enough to beat out a true freshman and probably won't be the starter at your new school. Just be thankful for the opportunities and make the most of them. You are not the first to be beat out by a freshman and won't be the last.

As far as he and Bateman complaining about communication. It is a two way street. You are over 18 and an adult. If you don't understand something ask for clarification. If you are told something you believe to be true, i.e. you believe they told you that you would be the starter, confirm it by "communicating" to your coaches what you heard. Sometimes message sent isn't always messages received.

100% truth right there.
