Expected it totally... Especially when he said that he was solidly committed but then kept taking visitsWTF?????
Didn't see this coming.
My first thought as well... I've been pulling for this kid like crazy during all the events.... Better stop there because what I want to say is not good... But respect? WTF practice that respect thing when Saban sits your ass.Respect it, my ass. Goodbye

No, but that's something that many Bama fans, including myself, are very worried about. He's been tearing it up lately.WTF?????
Didn't see this coming. Did their other QB commit (Tua sp?) flip to someone else?
No, but that's something that many Bama fans, including myself, are very worried about. He's been tearing it up lately.
How does 100% committed compare to "married" to Stoops?
Cool. Hopefully you get one too.Classy.
100% committed, where have I heard that before, sounds familiar, LOL.
Another shining example of the loyalty in today's youth. Me first, just win baby, blah blah blah.
Oh, by the way, not only is Bama a little ahead of our rebuilding curve (thought he said he wanted to be part of a rising program?) but they also pay their players about $2000 more a year than we do ours. And that is the legal part. I understand that the money isn't supposed to mean a lot to him personally, but some of the players he wants to follow him to UK that he needs to get us to the top probably do need it a great deal.
Except cal doesn't recruit Duke, UNCs, or even for that matter Alabamas commits. A kid makes a pledge in basketball it's done. Unless they formally reopen their recruitment.This example is the same in basketball where Cal picks and chooses who he wants. While a number of players turn down UK to be a "star" elsewhere, the top players come to play pro ball.
In the case of Mr. Saban, he picks and chooses players to be part of an annual championship contender. The tradition, the champions the Tide produces, the legend of the Bear and having a lifetime of s career as one of the Tide's best assures the young man of financial security.
My best to you young man.
The timing is the part the surprised me. I thought it would be during the season that it would become an issue.It begs the question... why now? What has recently happened to make him change his mind? If this came after an Alabama visit then I would understand, but this is some weird timing to me...?
I'm hearing that Saban plans to ask Jones to gray shirt right before NSD.This example is the same in basketball where Cal picks and chooses who he wants. While a number of players turn down UK to be a "star" elsewhere, the top players come to play pro ball.

This... A verbal commitment in football means very little.I will never get worked up over a commitment again.
They mean absolutely nothing. I may not even watch until Signing Day

Christ, cry me a river. You're telling me everything you decided on at 17 you never changed your mind on. He's going to the defending national champion vs a school on their 3rd OC in 4 years. And you're going off about the cost of living adjustment. I bet if someone offered you a job right now where you could have a greater chance of success, where it's more stable, you would jump all over it. If anybody is crying foul tonight over a decision on a 17year old kid you need to take a step back, figure out your priorities, bc they are screwed up
Pretty sure Jones's family doesn't need the money...but it does suck that the UK administration was once again asleep at the wheel on this coa thing100% committed, where have I heard that before, sounds familiar, LOL.

I know Saban called him about a week ago and he must have put on the press sale because this did come out of the blue. My worry was that we couldn't afford any negative vibes in the program and am afraid recent de commits may have been enough for him to be more open to the big boys after all.The timing is the part the surprised me.
