📝 Trendon Watford commits to LSU

[TerryP]

If he comes to BAMA good, if not, good!!

Not signing a player is one thing, but not signing a player and seeing him sign in the SEC changes my view a bit.

Hope he chooses us, but lawd this has been played out.

I know I keep coming back to this ... and here I go again, in a bit of a different route.

TW is a victim of circumstances here. I believe we need to keep that in mind. He's driven into the perfect storm for attention with Bama changing coaches combined with his ranking/notoriety in the state. Granted, the news surrounding Wade and Memphis has drawn it out for fans and it's also led to a lot of speculation.

One thing of which I'm certain. The Alabama coaching staff still believes they are in the running for his signature.

I know what you keep saying and I'm just joking about it all at this point. I seriously don't care one way or the other. I'm just piling on is all. I guess his tweets (get posted on here as I do not follow or even on Twitter), which a lot of athletes send out, seem to be adding more tires to the fire.

It's fans, writers with their Crystal Ball's, social media account (not TW's) that's adding the fuel.

Consider how many times, or if you have, seen this?



I'm looking at the clock and see we've got 45 minutes to one hour before we see fans meltdown. Which fan base? TBD. I don't think this afternoon is going to be pretty in terms of fans' reactions.

The LSU fan base certainly believes they are signing TW as do their moderators and writers.

I'm aware ... and it makes Sopsher arriving in Tuscaloosa this week a little ironic.

If he does choose us, let's take bets on how much LSU fans say we paid. My guess is gonna be $150,000, since they probably offered $145,000.

Would you consider it odd for Bucky to invite Cecil to an announcement if Bucky knew he was headed elsewhere? I don't know...just an oddity of today

I have my fingers crossed.

 

[TerryP]

@#80, If asked, I'd bet Cecil would say don't make anything of his presence...probably say he's there for the high school or something like that.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

I am hopeful the Trendon will select The Tide. I look forward to watching our new coaching staff going forward.

His actual response is pretty much that.

Agreed! If not at BAMA, I would rather see him at Memphis or Indiana. I think all of the drama that has been laid out there by media, handlers, etc, has just gotten me to the point of throwing up my hands.

 

[planomateo]

It's only drama if you subscribe to it right?

Almost bet he ain't picking Bama or Memphis based on the hats on the table.

You looking at the shape of the bill?

I've seen one suggest Bama's on the left, he's left handed.

That a purple jacket, or blue?

 

[rocknthefreeworld]

Yep. No kid is putting on a rounded bill hat.

Purple shirt, blue blazer is what it looks like to me.

Could they drag this out a little longer.
