2116499, Yea that was a HUGE letdown for us Posted by Y2Flound, Mon Jan-21-13 01:26 PM
His mom and family wanted him to go to Pitt so bad and he had formed a great relationship with Bobby Engrem our WR coach.
Most accounts say even up until the morning he announced he was planning on Pitt, but Alabama made a last ditch effort and got him.
One story is his mom didnt like the staff at Alabama and that was playing a big role but they made it up to her in some way at the last minute (sounds like a story out of Blue Chips).
We landed Tyler Boyd who in some ways is just as explosive, but bringing them both in would have given us a pretty high powered offense in a few years with those two and either voytek or Chapman throwing to them.
