Jalen Hurts

[Justin themowa reed]

With his interview with the media today, there's no way this doesn't turn out bad for that team this year... a complete distraction

 

[Shmuley]

Great interview for his next head coach after he grad transfers in December.

What was said?

If this isn't being played to every single recruit we have where we're battling bama, we're doing it wrong.

 

[RightOfCenter]

I hope it plays out all season and is one big distraction.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

And Bama fans are turning on him on twitter. This is glorious.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

He’s waving the white flag. No way he starts after this

 

[Dawg1976]

I wouldn't be surprised if he jumps ship before the start of the season. Saban won't like that interview.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I don’t know why he hasn’t already transferred. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see he is now the backup.

15 hours from graduating. No way in hell that he leaves before December. It’s actually quite possible that he takes over for the other Hawaiian in 2019 in Oxford. He won’t have to sit.

Again, because he doesn’t want to sit out a year, and won’t have to if he leaves in December. And who knows if Tua tears an ACL or goes on an interception tear, he might be the guy again even this year.

 

[Dawg1976]

Maybe so, but him running his lip does not help his cause.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

If word gets out he is definitely transferring in December

15 hours from graduating. No way in hell that he leaves before December. It’s actually quite possible that he takes over for the other Hawaiian in 2019 in Oxford. He won’t have to sit.

What are the chances he passes all 15 hours? It would be hysterical if he failed to get the athlete “tutoring” during finals.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Bright idea telling Nick Saban he doesn't have control. Real bright idea.

 

[Maroon90]

Everybody Hurts.
Everybody cries...sometimes.

[birdawg]

Saban will just kick him off team if a distraction

 

[Go Budaw]

What are the chances he passes all 15 hours? It would be hysterical if he failed to get the athlete “tutoring” during finals.

Well, the dude has passed, what, 125 hours in 2.5 years of being in college? I’d say maybe he has a pretty damn good head on his shoulders and doesn’t need any of the extra help.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

I was just making a joke that maybe Saban would make it harder for him to pass. Forgive me for questioning a student athlete’s intelligence

I would love him running OM offense. With how much they throw downfield and how poor he throws it down the field, would be fun to watch

It’s not totally unrealistic. Hurts was in Oxford during the weekend of the 6A state championship game and even was in the Starkville High lockerroom with AJ Brown before the game. Obviously AJ will be gone pro after this season (barring a horrific injury), but who knows what other acquaintances he made during that trip or beforehand? It’s also the perfect landing spot for a guy in his position....gets to stay in the SEC, guaranteed starting position, and he gets a chance to stick it to his old team.

 

[paindonthurt_]

Wah wah. Get over it. The best player should play.

 

[ChillbillyRock]

I wonder if Jimbo could lure him back to the Lone Star State? Aren’t they needing a QB?

Starkel is the guy they like a lot, but I have no idea how he is progressing.

It’s also worth noting that with the new redshirt rule in place, Hurts can play in 4 or fewer games this year, transfer in December, and still have 2 years left with no requirement to sit out. So that gives him even more incentive to stick it out until the end of the semester.

Yeah not bad for a guy that's 19 years old and only needs 15 hours to graduate

 

[TUSK.sixpack]

I ain’t sayin “he gone”, but he’s working on it.

He should know how the Borg operate by now. MDL might put him at 5th team RB (Robinson is probably better) if he keeps this up...

 

[Dawg1976]

Who is MDL?
