Cristobal and Locksley will be Gators the morning of the 10th, book it!I'd take, who could we push out to add him?
I know it was speculated a week or two ago, looks like some real smoke now. Leatherwood better take a real hard look at what he wants.
The recruits already know about these coaching changes, likely the reason Leatherwood was at the Gator game and delayed his EE. Like mentioned in the other thread, I have a feeling he checks his bags in Gainesville today and completely shuts the door and any Saban voodooI know it was speculated a week or two ago, looks like some real smoke now. Leatherwood better take a real hard look at what he wants.
Agreed! He needs to step back and make his own mind up instead of letting that 4 foot midget in Tuscaloosa do it for him.I know it was speculated a week or two ago, looks like some real smoke now. Leatherwood better take a real hard look at what he wants.
How completely f'd would he feel if he got pressured to go there and then his coach leaves.Agreed! He needs to step back and make his own mind up instead of letting that 4 foot midget in Tuscaloosa do it for him.
Man...a couple of guys I grew up with and played ball with (in Pensacola and Crestview area both are HS coaches now) say that this kid is just actually scared of the Bama staff and they basically run his life for him. They say he really likes UF but the people around him are constantly in his ear pushing him to Bama. It's a damn shame that these kids can't make their own decisions anymore. Smh!!!How completely f'd would he feel if he got pressured to go there and then his coach leaves.
If I had gone through this, my dad would have asked what school I liked best and wanted to go to. Then he'd tell me to let the coaches know, and if they didn't like it they could pound sand. Too bad it doesn't sound like he has that kind of influence
Why is that, curious to think why you believe we're crazy when the first report was UF? You think he wants to work for Taggert across the country living in Oregon when he has never been further west than Tuscaloosa and knows nothing but SEC football for the last 4 years?However, if anyone thinks we'll land Cristobal as a coach, they should immediately be institutionalized. Best case scenario, Cristobal goes to Oregon, and we land Leatherwood.
Could be a reason we seem to be seeing so many transfers lately. Definitely sucks they don't feel like they can go where they are most comfortable.Man...a couple of guys I grew up with and played ball with (in Pensacola and Crestview area both are HS coaches now) say that this kid is just actually scared of the Bama staff and they basically run his life for him.

Agreed! Saban is just processing these kids nowadays and it needs to be stopped.Could be a reason we seem to be seeing so many transfers lately. Definitely sucks they don't feel like they can go where they are most comfortable.
Alabama does whatever they want and have been doing so since Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa. The rules don't apply to them as long as Mark Emmert heads the NCAA.I agree with your point but it's easy to say that as an adult and not viewing things through the eyes of an 18 year old. I imagine it would be very difficult to stand up to Saban and the Alabama coaching staff as they gang up on you and play the guilt card.
My question is how these conversations are happening if we are currently in a dead period of recruiting. So players can call coaches but coaching staffs can't contact players? Is that how it works? Even if that's the case how dors the Alabama staff allegedly continue calling Leatherwood on his way to the Outback Bowl as was reported?
I realize this all may be speculative recruiting talk completely unfounded in reality.
When was the last true dynamite assistant coaching hire we made? Not only that, we'd be ripping him away from what is far and away the best program in the country with the deepest pockets.Why is that, curious to think why you believe we're crazy when the first report was UF?
