Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that it looks like we'll stay away from having to play KA 4 or 5 times in conference...but this is pretty shady. KA could be an absolute monster at S for Bama. I'm not saying he's the same kind of S that EB is, but he could have a similar impact as a SO and JR. Yet, this kid wants to go out west and play offense for Cal? Did I miss something? I knew he had mentioned wanting to play WR, but I figured that would be swept away and this kid would be the All-American safety he should be.

This one is a head scratcher...

It would make sense him going elsewhere since we picked up D Menzie. i really hate not getting KA but atleast he was not a must have position for us. Another weapon yes but we have a good selection right now.

Actually he was going to be given the same opportunity here at UA, but it has more to do with his brother and him playing together now. His brother would never see the field here so I guess I can understand that. Plus Cal may PU two more Greensboro players in the package and KA cousin a highly rated 2011 WR.

Someone posting a false rumor.

Per the NCAA

things that may not occur during the recruiting dead period include official visits, unofficial visits, evaluations, visits to high schools, or even speeches at banquets

Is he just dead set on playing WR? Is that part of the allure of heading out to Berkley? Thanks, TW for not being a trolling D-Bag. Nice to know that Bammers and Vols can be civil from time to time.

I think KA is really about to screw up. This kid is a monster S in Saban's defense. What a waste. Oh well, the rest of the SEC wishes you well, Keenan!

I have no clue why he is going there to be honest, but we can not get them all, and plus his family say they will move with the two. Maqybe the pockets are not deep enough in the REC.:)

BTW the only time I do not pull or atleast hope for good things at UT is when we play you guys.:dance2:

The only reason it's worth discussing in terms of UT is proximity...and like you said, they'd have to contact us. Lord knows ya'll will fill whatever void he leaves behind.

My guess is that Keenan saw a chance to be explosive in the west coast offense and his brother felt he could contribute more at Cal than any other place.

i don't know what the cal coaches are telling him but even with riley graduating he'll have to beat out 3 elite 11 qbs with more time in the system than him (though none seem to be lighting it up in practice). i'd imagine at least he'd have a better chance to start at clemson.

The SEC is a pressure cooker. He is probably not a competitor. Let him play beach ball out on the coast.

I dont think this is the case at all. It is more of him wanting to play on the same team with his brother and the other cousins.

Really, that is what I read earlier also. But, playing for a person that will build you into a success should be more important that being on a team with your siblings. Especially Saban. And why commit to Bama, watch them win a title, and then bail, for a much lesser program??? He must really love his brother or be scared. You decide. V,B!

right right right. that's why the vols have lost to two straight beach ball teams and probably a 3rd this september.

IMO the KA family requirements became too much for Bama or Clemson to deal with. Sorta' like a sequel to Eric Locke. KA will be an outstanding safety; but with the family baggage, I'm OK with his going elsewhere. I think Menzie took KA's spot.

I hope Bama didn't offer the brother a scholarship. IMO we don't need anyone bad enough to expend two scholarships on him. Could be a source of locker room discontent.

ha ha. true. obviously those cal and ucla teams weren't very good. but if SEC dominance was what people here said it is even vandy should be able to dominate a team like ucla.

SEC dominance is overstated in this era of relative parity. What the SEC does tend to have is more speed across the front seven on defense than most. Even the middlin' teams have a good dose of that.

What the SEC has lacked now for several seasons is QBs who can go out and get wins. I don't understand it, but that position has sucked almost across the conference, save Tebow's gimmick.

completely agree. there isn't a pac-10 defense in the caliber of that bama one this year (or probably the texas D either). particurally with size and speed. but the pac-10 is starting to realize they need ot recruit national on the defensive side to compete national. arizona, oregon, and in paritucular cal is really going hard on the defensive recruiting this year. SC under carroll had already figured this out. in 2 or 3 years the pac-10 should be a much better defensive conference.
