Does anyone know anything about Chris? Just how good is he?

Quote
True freshman Chris Black, who hasn't played a down this year after hurting his shoulder in the first week of preseason practice.

Black had surgery and returned to practice three weeks ago in a limited capacity. He wasn't cleared for contact drills at the time, and Saban had intended to redshirt him.

On Sunday, Saban said doctors have cleared Black, and he could get a chance to shore up Alabama's depleted wide receiver roster as the second-ranked Crimson Tide (11-1) prepares to face No. 3 Georgia (11-1) in the SEC Championship Game.

Whoa! Personally, that sounds a little crazy to me. We still have Norwood, Cooper, Shinn, Jones (TE), C. Jones, & Willliams (TE). I guess Black would be a last minute fill-in if something happened to another WR.

That's what I'm thinking. Perhaps it's speed and agility CNS is after?

At the beginning of preseason practice, Alabama had slated Bell, White and Black as part of the two-deep depth chart at the Tide's three receiver positions.

Black enrolled at Alabama in January and went through spring practice, catching three passes for 61 yards in the annual A-Day Game. Last year, Rivals.com rated Black as the eighth best prep receiver in the country, while Amari Cooper, who leads Alabama in receiving this year, was rated sixth.

Yes, he's that good.

Quote
it isn't unusual for Saban to consider lifting a redshirt when the stakes are this high. In 2009, Saban named then-freshman AJ McCarron his backup quarterback for the BCS Championship Game. McCarron had not played all year, but Saban said if then-starter Greg McElroy went down with a game-ending injury and not just a few plays, McCarron would get the call.

McElroy didn't get hurt, and McCarron remained on the bench... keeping his redshirt intact.

With his limited practice, I suspect Black would be a backup, in case someone else gets hurt.

Just concerned, that this would be his first actual start in a Huge game w/o any OJT on the field, other than just practicing. But CNS knows more than we do about this.

I know CNS has spoken highly of him several times throughout the year.  I have heard him talk about what a great job our young receivers are doing, and then say something to the effect of nobody even talks about Black, and we were expecting him to be a big contributor if he hadn't gotten hurt in August.  If he is that good he may not stay for 4 years any way, so go ahead and use him if it will help.  There are no shortage of guys in the pipeline and CNS can take his pick each year to get the best replacements.

Les Miles does crazy. Nick Saban does not do crazy.

In the great movie, Hunt for Red October, the commander of the aircraft carrier looking for the missing Soviet sub says, "Son, the Russians don't take a dump without a plan". Substitute "Nick Saban" for "the Russians"

I read that Tom Luginbill said today that Chris Black was scouted as being a "more explosive" receiver than Amari Cooper.  He added that Cooper was a more complete package, but Black was more dangerous as a one-on-one deep threat.  I believe that's what DeAndrew White and Kenny Bell were in our system, the one-on-one over the top deep threats.

I do think Chris Black will play, and I suspect his presence will be an impact.

Definitely true, White and Bell have been the fast guys.  Chris Black lists a 4.4 40 in Scout and strength includes speed.
