Question, how good is emmons? Are we going off his production in high school or did he kick butt during Bama practices or something?

high school. he kicked so much butt at Bama he earned 5th string reps. We have no clue if he is good or not. Of course most starting RBs in the nation would also probably earn 5th string as well at Bama.

I think mostly off his High School production/ranking. There's not a lot of videos of him during his Alabama time since he hasn't played much.

I am no insider but I am very good friends with someone close to the situation. Coming out of HS it was not a grade issue but he was missing a few core classes and was able to get them completed. Sites assumed grades because it was mentioned academic concerns.

In regards to UGA he got pulled over in a car with friends and they had pot. He was suspended by his coach for 2 games. UGA backed off and their sites started saying it was because of grades but really had to do with the arrest and CMR taking heat for their players failing drug tests. He had not heard from UGA in months and then UA pushed for him.

In regards to the comparison of Kamara no where close. The only thing that can be compared between the two is that they both were injured to start their career at UA. Kamara was ahead of Henry by all accounts until the injury and then when he returned was down the depth charts and never was able to work his way back up(for whatever reason) and whined about it to anyone that would listen until he transferred. Emmons same thing he was 3rd on the depth chart due to other backs being injureduntil injured and fell behind Jacobs. But he never whined about it. Once Harris arrived this spring(new 5*) and Bo did not declare for the draft he saw he was 5th at best on the depth charts. He did not leave UA with some ill will like some want to imagine on here or other sites.

In regards to where he ends up it is hard to say. I know Clemson seems to be interested and both instate schools UNC & NC State. His father was a huge UT fan and he grew up watching games with his father. As the story goes that was the last thing those two did together was watch UT win a game and later that night his father was killed. He was like 10 at the time I believe. The one concern he had coming out of HS about UT was the coaching staff and the stability of them in the program. It would not surprise me to see him end up at UT because he always wanted to play in the SEC and his father wanted him to play at UT.

Whoever gets him will be very lucky. This kid plays with a lot of passion and always wanting to prove something.

Just going to bump this where people understand the situation with the depth chart at Bama and why Emmons transferred.

Is Emmons 2019 now? If so, why are we obsessing about a guy who is two classes out, doesn't have an offer and hasn't even played any Juco yet?

You'd think! His academics are in order. The only reason he's going JUCO (for ONE season) is to have the call on which team he's transferring to...most likely SEC. Why are people wondering if he's going to be attending a community college in his junior season? :thud:

Why does it matter? AK went to a JUCO for a year and we were excited to get him. I'll bet we will be excited to get BJ too if it works out that way. Errybody just wants to flail their arms around and run in circles for no good reason.

He's not going to be in the 2019 class. It matters if we recruit him for that class and he's already gone. Kamara is an eerily perfect example...same situation minus a redshirt freshman year.

I was agreeing with you. Everybody with their knickers in a twist. Just simma down now.

I think the main reason everybody is so confused about what class Emmons will be in is because, he decided to transfer so late in the game. But, apparently he transferred in time, got enrolled in time and will play this year for Hutchinson (right JUCO?). So, he will definitely be in the 2018 recruiting class and the whole recruiting process for Emmons begins again and UT should go all out for this kid, imo

maybe because JUCO stands for JUNIOR COLLEGE and people get stuck on the name?
