Jalen Hurts

Weren't we recruiting him? He was a 4 star right?

 

[Dawg1976]

Yeah. I can't imagine why he chose bama over us.

He shoulda got a 5th star just based on last name. Some names are football names. That's my new star rating system:

1 star - name sounds more like an Eagle Scout name

2 star - name is unique and you're pretty sure no Eagle Scout ever had it

3 star - 2 plus it sounds like a bad dudes name would sound

4 star - 2&3 plus you can envision a really cool PA announcer nickname

5 star - 2,3 & 4 PLUS any part of the name is another works for strength, violence or speed

Yes we recruited him. He was always rumored to be leaning toward us until he ended up getting a later Alabama offer. And there was a lot of "why would he go play QB for Saban's system -- perfect fit for Mullen's -- etc" comments at the time. Looks like he gives them an element they haven't had under Saban -- and that is scary.

He made a smart choice. Instead of sitting on the bench for the next few years, he is now the starter for the best team in college football.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

What's sad is you're right. He wouldn't sniff the depth chart for us until 2018 but he's good enough to be Alabama's QB1 as a freshman.

 

[Dawg1976]

Yep...he was guaranteed to rs for us. He went somewhere where he could play immediately. I laughed as I typed this because it's so true.

Dallas Davis was a 2 star recruited only by USA out of Panama City.....1st start
