they announced it on the A-Day broadcast; saying he announced just outside the stadium.

Still though, it's great that he got this out of his way. Now he can focus on bringing us a state championship this year.

Bears great grandson vs Tua lil brother... what a cool story to follow the next few years.

Anyone else thinking maybe, just maybe, Tua will stay for a fourth year to play with his brother ? Can't hurt our chances that's for sure.

Wouldn't Tua only be a junior when he's a frosh? If Tua stays the 4 years, will guarantee lil bro can't hit the field.

The best part about our 2 QB commits is that barring Tua not being the main QB, we shouldn't have to sweat out them jumping ship all year. Between the Bear connection and Tua's family moving to AL and having him on campus, both guys are about as sure a bet as possible.

The announcement wasn't full of pomp and circumstances, that was for sure. Sounded a lot more like a youngster just making a business decision. With Taulia's comment about making a name for himself, It was great that he went ahead and pulled the trigger. This class is developing a lot of nice momentum and with our QBs on board, it should only help others make up their mind.

That is refreshing for a change ......those 15 minutes of fame BS celebrations are a bit much......JMO of course.

From Andrew Bone:
Recruiting - What it means: Taulia Tagovailoa | BamaInsider.com

The commitment
Taulia Tagovailoa (goes by Lia), four-star quarterback from Thompson High School in Alabaster, Alabama, announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide on Saturday prior to the start of the spring game. Most expected Tagovailoa to follow in his brother's footsteps to Tuscaloosa. It was only a matter of when not if for the four-star.



The player
Tagovailoa had a decent junior season at Thompson High School. He passed for 3,820 yards with 36 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

"What I like most is his attitude and how competitive is. He has a fiery attitude, and he commands the huddle, he holds his teammates to being accountable and he is going to do all he can to lead his team. His arm strength jumps out immediately and he has a nice, short, compact release. He spins the ball well, he can throw with touch and he can buy time in the pocket. I’ve seen him on the big stage, and he loves the moment. He is a gamer that plays with a lot of fire and is a natural leader."- Southeast recruiting analyst Chad Simmons

"Great get, big upside. Different than his brother in many ways but has the same character and clutch quality as well as many of the same mechanics. A leader. "- National Recruiting Director Mike Farrell



The numbers
Alabama has its two quarterback targets on board in the 2019 class with Tagovailoa and Paul Tyson. Alabama is not expected to take another quarterback. Both were aware of the plan for taking two quarterbacks in this class. Both welcome the competition.

Alabama has nine public commitments at this time. All ranked four-stars according to Rivals.com. The class will only continue to improve especially with two leaders at the quarterback position.
