[NORMLFROG]

Yeah, we’ll maybe, but how bout that name?

The name is fire! Surprised though. It’s Aledo so I guess I was expecting Jaxxyn or Reign or Colt or Trystyn.

Kid has some decent speed if I remember correctly, which we could use as we are losing Darius and depending on if Major pans out and they move him to wr.

NORML has spoken.

I can’t argue with his stats but everyone I know who knows the kid personally says he’s got good character and is a quality young man.

I may be misunderstanding you when you say the kid is meh. If so, sorry

I can’t imagine Coach Dykes recruiting a bad seed at all. I’m just incredibly underwhelmed by the numbers for such a heralded recruit. Numbers say he’s a bust.

It could be that there was injury, or a lack of proper instruction. Regardless, they wouldn't have pursued him if they didn't think he was worth the effort, and so far the new staff seems to have a very shrewd judgement of talent...

NF

I’m just not familiar enough with Alabama football to make a judgment about whether he should have more starts. You could be right

 

[Froggy Style]

Creating a strong Aledo connection with Bama WRs who played is hard to see much fault with the logic.

I don't know [ Finebaum ], but I did find this article about him which makes it sound like Saban was encouraged by his progress in the off-season and a preseason injury kind of derailed his year this year.

Alabama WR JoJo Earle expected to miss 6-8 weeks after sustaining fractured foot in preseason camp

Earle was projected to be a factor for the Crimson Tide as a receiver and return specialist

Thanks for the update. A Jones fracture sounds no good.

 

[StinnettFrog]

we will be pleasantly surprised at how good he is next year. Saban didn’t want to lose him.

NF

as others have pointed out, the foot injury this year had a significant impact and as has already been mentioned, do not discount the negative impact of having bill o'brien on the offensive staff

NF

He was hurt this year. Only played in like 4 games.

For any Power 5 player who isnt a grad transfer, isnt it likely that their stats will underwhelm. Why elese would they be transferring? Presents an interestings trategic question - taking a Power 5 player who hasnt cracked the two deep at a school like AL or an overperformer at a lower tier school.
