Title: Matt Elam's mother willing to move if son picks Alabama Post by: Jamos on January 29, 2014, 05:52:05 PM Kentucky's home-field advantage in its recruitment of five-star defensive tackle Matt Elam might not be as strong as it appears.
According to a Tuesday report from the Louisville Courier-Journal, Elam's mother would be willing to move to Alabama if Elam ultimately picked the Crimson Tide over the Wildcats. http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2014/01/matt_elams_mother_willing_to_m.html#incart_m-rpt-2 In a related article, look at his tweet at the bottom of the article. http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2014/01/matt_elams_coach_comfort_level.html#incart_river Title: Re: Matt Elam's mother willing to move if son picks Alabama Post by: Jamos on January 29, 2014, 05:54:52 PM Welcome to Alabama Mrs. Elam :clap:

Quote Elam decided Sunday to announce on Thursday. He had just returned from an unofficial visit to Kentucky, where he had some one-on-one time with UK head coach Mark Stoops and heard his named chanted by the students at Rupp Arena during a basketball game.

It'd be great to get another top D-lineman this year, but only if he really wants to come to Alabama, move his mother, and commit to being the best. Otherwise he can keep his mother in that KY trailer, listen to toothless fans chant his name (until a bb game is scheduled), and watch his name go uncalled at the NFL draft in 3 years! :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: Title: Re: Matt Elam's mother willing to move if son picks Alabama Post by: 2Stater on January 29, 2014, 07:33:13 PM I find it curious that Elam is not even on ESPN or Rival's radar, but 247 has him as a 5*, ranked 21 overall. ???
Title: Re: Matt Elam's mother willing to move if son picks Alabama Post by: pmull on January 29, 2014, 08:16:49 PM His press conference is for media only. No students are allowed. The only reason for that IMO is to avoid the backlash for picking Bama over UK.

I can say if CNS sees something in this young man then he is alright by me. RTR!

He said 12:00 (which I assume is 12 EST; 11 CST). http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1938322-kentucky-wildcats-football-target-matt-elam-announcing-college-choice-thursday Title: Re: Matt Elam's mother willing to move if son picks Alabama Post by: 2Stater on January 30, 2014, 07:01:44 AM :popcorn2:
