🏈 Dylan Moses to return for 2020

Wisdom shown by a young man who spent his entire youth being told he is the greatest. He was offered a scholarship by LSU in 8th grade and was being lauded over as a 13 year old boy. I hope other players especially ones not as talented as him listen to that wisdom.
No matter how much you make in your first contract lets say you are top 10 and you get a 25 million total contract, only 17 million is guaranteed. So, 17 is all you can count on unless you make it the full term of the 5 year contract which is two years longer than the average NFL career. So 17 Million and uncle sam and your agent take 50% of that so... 8.5 million. Now take into account that these guys would be 25 years old by the time their career is over. 25 years old to 80 years old is a long time to stretch that money and not screw up along the way. This is for a top ten guy.. Josh Jacobs only got 12 million total and 6 million guaranteed, he is injured now and should recover but if its a degenerative issue they could cut him and only owe him the initial 6 million which after taxes and agent is 3 million. 60 years is a long log time to stretch that even if you go into it thinking about making it last which few of these guys do.
All of them need to take advantage of their opportunity of education and influence to take advantage of their opportunity to the fullest. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. These guys are given an opportunity at a head start that most could only dream of, all they have to do is take advantage of it to better their entire life.. not just the first few years of it.
I am now a much bigger Dylan Moses fan and hope for the sake of other athletes that they follow his wise example.

Dylan's story is a stark contrast to how IMG and its players have been "labeled" over the years. A "diploma factory" turns out a student.

We'll never know how much the team missed Josh and Dylan. If Joshua does play football again the linebacking corps, as a teaching factory, will be fun to watch. There looks to be some great leadership there.

Not shocked at the decision (as @TerryP gave us all a heads up ), but the message is awesome. That kid has a different mentality... Different in a good way. Very cool and motivational!

If Karma has a say, he will dominate and jump into rare air next year. RTR

If we don't hear his name often, he's done his job.

It's really looking like we're about to witness one of the biggest offseason stories of college football in a long time. Perhaps, our lifetime as fans.

Xavier is in the 50/50 boat right now.

Imagine ... he returns along with Josh for the interior linebackers. Now, taking into account we may not see Ray any longer that's still a strong group in all three areas; line, LB corps, and secondary.

Then we've got Tua, Leatherwood, Ruggs, and Smith ... Sanders coming back from injury ...

Why wouldn't we see Ray??

His foot. It seems this has come up a few times. I know I've said something a couple of times about the prognosis.

Man.... That would be a dang tragedy. He's so talented. Hoping for the best

Thanks TP

Wow, did not know that about Ray. Wetalkung about football no more forever, or he will go pro before he is back at Alabama healthy?

Would be quite a off season story if these jrs came back in force to give bama bk its swag.

I love it! I wish more players would do this on a yearly basis. With players and coaches leaving every year. I would love to start seeing some stability with both! Roll Tide!

GMac was on F'baum yesterday he has been in T-Town over the last week covering the game he said he thinks several juniors that the media expects to go to the draft are coming back. He also said he thinks Tua is leaning toward coming back. Who knows but things could get real interesting for next year. Roll Tide!

 

[kbama15]

Dang! I hate that about Ray!

 

[kbama15]

So how is our kicker coming along? Knowing that’s a topic to be discussed.

It's one of those Lisfranc injuries. Now we're entering the world of "medical DX," and I'm nothing more than a layman here.

His recovery hasn't gone well. It's my understanding they're looking at two choice. One is a hope that eventually it'll heal/repair itself given time. The other is limited to what it would mean for a football player. I've been told that surgery to repair the metatarsal/tarsus bones would very likely mean the end of his playing career.
