This has become a sad story of what might have been. I remember how excited a lot of us around here were when he signed with us. Many of us thought he would have seen the field as a freshman.As he said in the article, he could have done better in high school. Still, the NCAA clearinghouse could have done a lot better as well.It is pretty sad that a kid has met all of a school's and a conference's requirements for admission, has already enrolled in school and started practicing with the team, then is informed that the NCAA didn't like a correspondence course he took in the 10th grade.

I remember a picture of him standing next to one of our larger LB's, perhaps Ro, and he just dwarfed him. Speaking of well traveled, bad stories, who was the D-lineman who ended up here from Ohio State? Did he hang around long?

Major Applewhite made the call on his jersey number...and the rest is history. He was doomed from the start. :sarca:

Hmmm, has me thinking. Who is the first well-remembered Bama player who wore the number 13 in your mind?

Spencer is the first that popped into my mind. I felt better when I thought of Corey.
