I'm left feeling a little disappointed for Duron. By accounts we've read of him he appears to enjoy the smack talk realm of football. So did his dad. The later gets away with it because he's ... well, clever. He's got a talent for talking smack. His son, doesn't appear to have the "smarts" to talk like his dad.
If Duron would have "buckled down" on his class work he likely would have been wearing Crimson. But no study skills and a lack of discipline combined with little, if any, desire to change left him where he is today. My gut tells me that falls back on the way he was raised. In the end, I don't know.
It wouldn't take much to convince me that the main reason Cris wanted Duron at Bama was the way players were.are handled under this current staff. I get the impression Cris felt Saban could get his son back on track.
