and you could hear him ask her what he should say when they asked him why not UK and she said something like, " just say they were all good options and you chose the one you thought best" and that's what he did.
Hard to believe they didn't have all this ready and thought out before hand if he knew his choice earlier. Surprised he didn't call coach as well.

Personally I think it was a dirty stunt on their part. Should have told Stoops in October and he could have gone after some other kids. Now Harris will of course be burried behind 4 other 5 star backs. Anyway, no big deal about what he finds at AL, but as I said, more about Harris and his own charactor.
The kid picked what school he felt was best for him. He obviously considered us and went down to the wire. That is recruiting! No need to question the kids' character over a decision that he felt was best for HIM. Wish him the best and I hope he balls against every team, but UK. Keep in mind the process is not over. A lot of grown men acting like jealous ex boyfriends(girlfriends) in here! lol
We need to be more concerned with signing quality linemen that we can dominate the line of scrimmage with. That is what makes Bama...... Bama. Im sure Boom, JoJo, Mikel, and any other decent back we have could have success behind their offensive line. Running backs come a dime a dozen. If you pay attention to the NFL draft you will see that RB's value has decreased over the years. Bama RB's can attest to that and that is no shot at those guys. Just shows how the game has evolved.

It just seems that when a recruit has a father with him on the Big Stage at the time of commitment things go a little smoother. This was a train wreck and I was embarrassed for the poor mama.
That's exactly right. I heard that and knew the answer immediately. I can't believe they let things like this slip up. I just turned off my computer and went back to work. She said that loud and clear.... seemed to be really sad. They need to watch those microphones.
Have read where his biological father was William Murrel who played at Mayfield. Evidently he had his mother's name or his step-dad/ adoptive dad's name. Don't know where either were, but I wish the young man nothing but the best unless he is playing against the Cats!. Not going to blame and 18 year old for how he handled any of this. Just not fair at all to do that. Big decision for him to make. We will move on. Go Cats!
Do you seriously believe that? If so, then I have some oceanfront property to sell in North Dakota. Screw Bama, and screw Harris. In the NFL, the RB has decreased in value because it has become a pansy-ass league, which is why I no longer watch. The game favors the offense so greatly, that football has become borderline unwatchable. I walked on at Stetson a DECADE AGO (wink, wink), and saw harder hitting than hits that would warrant an ejection.
RB has been devalued in the NFL because smart coaches has learned that a running back's production is 99% the O-line. That and the career span of a running back is like 4 years.
The elite teams the past 10-15 years in the NFL have just cycled thru running backs. The mediocre teams (vikings, texans, chiefs, titans) have tried to build around them.

The offense UK will be running doesn't need a RB who will run 20-25 x's. Yes it would have been nice to have him but getting Elam last yr was bigger
LakerCat sell me that land then because the kid was seriously considering UK late in the process. The fact that he was even considering us was a amazing since there is no comparison in their program vs. ours. Again I'm not going to jump off a bridge because of a running back. He has no real value unless we can block up front. Let's find some more SEC-type Linemen, LB's, and DB's.
It has nothing to do with smart coaches. The way the rules are, it promotes passing. QB's can play for 20 years; Tom Brady and Peyton Manning will likely be in their 40's when they retire; if you sneeze on a QB, it's a penalty. If you look at a receiver in a funny way, it's a flag and an automatic first down, while the receivers are allowed to maul the DB's with impunity (Evans, Gronk, Moss, etc). It's the same with the Hurry Up-No Huddle; if you are able to snap the ball before the refs can make a proper call (i.e, commit penalties with impunity), it would be asinine to not do it, especially if you have the athletes (Oregon).
may be part of it, but crazy is right. I would much rather have 3 star rb's running behind a 5 star line than vice versa! All these guys are good enough to pick up big yardage in college if the holes are there...now once you get to the NFL, it takes elite blocking and elite rb's to really get the job done at a high level and take the pressure off the QB.
Yes it was very clear. .she said "we can wait." but after seeing her enamored at Allen Cutler. . well 
No doubt Mom was not happy, but he played us all. . his Mom is in that same camp.

Mr cat32, where do you get that information that DH's decision went down to the wire? From what has been posted, he said he had known where he was going since his OF visit to Bama. That's goes back to late November. This is why HOB fans, and I'm sure UK's staff, are upset with the manner that he strung all the afore mentioned along! He could, & should, have informed Coach Stoops weeks ago so that other possibilities could have been pursued!!!
