You gotta wonder about this one. Bama has 3 other CBs in this signing class, and is pursuing 5-star Tyson Campbell as well. So did Kirby steal this one, or did he get mixed signals?
I agree. This guy saw the writing on the wall. He won't be missed.
Perhaps he was told that we couldn't sign him early but wait until the regular signing period, who knows. That would definitely be writing on the wall. If Saban is after TC, then he probably didn't want to sign 4 CBs in the early period. Even if it is a position of need, 5 is a lot for one class. We'll never know, but as you say, he won't be missed.
