I'm not a conspiracy theorist by no means, but this talk of stars and UT may have some legs. Look at this article from before HB was even in high school. The talent was already there and everyone knew it. So now he's dropping? Even though he has continued to meet the expectations placed on him even from middle school and stay humble with that talent? They would have made that 6th star if he had committed to Alubbuba. And especially considering these lines, and this is when he was 14!
"But how has Bailey arrived on the radar of college coaching royalty such as Alabama head coach
Nick Saban, and why is he poised to become the next star in a growing line of passers who hail from the Peach State? "
"Tony Ballard, a noted quarterback trainer in the Atlanta area, has worked with Bailey since he was in the fifth grade.
" His physical gifts stood out immediately, but it was his football intelligence that left the biggest impression on Ballard."
"I've seen a lot of kids his age that don't really understand the game like he does," Ballard says. "I think Harrison is two to three years ahead of his time.
"When you think of elite quarterbacks, you can look across the country at the guys who are coming out of high school. ... The best guys are the ones that are ahead of their time. That's how they separate themselves from the average quarterbacks. That's where Harrison is. In terms of his mental aspect, he's just advanced for his age."
Mills, who is the top quarterback and the No. 6 player overall in the 2017 class, agreed with that sentiment.
"I am impressed by how mature he is already. He'll make a small mistake on one ball, and on the next throw it'll already be fixed," Mills says. "To be able to self-correct and not hang your head is something he is very good at."
The silver lining is the tweet from him "Happy to have a an offer from Alabama." Almost spit out my coffee laughing. Take that you gnome sized troll of a coach of the toilet of Merica. (with all due respect to his record, I still can't watch him.)
So F Alabama and Go Vols!!!
