'19 AL QB Taulia Tagovailoa

You both have persecution complexes, IMO

Lol..yeah probably, but don't act like the VN inflater mob is not a real thing. If you diverge from the accepted view a little too much, you get the tar and feather equivalent. I am not saying it isn't justified sometimes..I will own my sometimes pessimistic foibles, but people go overboard the other direction too. I wasn't as bad as I am now till late last season. Watching Vandy, Kentucky and Mizzou treat us like toilet paper made something snap in me that I am just now starting to pull back from.

It’s never a waste of time to stay on elite kids , things change sometimes over night , sometimes longer if you keep that relationship it might just work out in the end ... think A.K. , that worked out well for us .

I hope you are right. I guess I have to agree though, it doesn't hurt to stay on em.

It goes both ways. There is a deflator mob too. I don't think anyone is a victim here. You've come after me for my optimism before. It's all good. People overreact to good and bad news and opinions and rumors become snowballs. Most try to give counter arguments without attacking.

Excellent point. With two QB’s going in this class at Bama, one will transfer.

But I am a little curious about our QB recruiting. Same with RB recruiting. Two most important cogs in an offensive game, and we have a half a recruit out of both positions.
 
I wonder how Saban would treat Tua if Taulia defected? Given that there were rumors of him bolting Bama if he were forced to continue sitting behind Hurts, things may not be as awesome there as it seems. Maybe daddy T is driving it, with an emphasis on allowing Pruitt to prove he can get it done at UT, while dragging their feet long enough to get Tua firmly established as Bama's starter before announcing any change in commitment. Just a thought.

Being positive makes me happy. People who dwell on the negative take away my happy. I personally would prefer that they do that in the FF, rather than here. It's that simple.

Now whether they are actually unhappy, or simply derive joy from making others unhappy, has a big effect on how I respond to them. Sometimes it's hard to know which, but sometimes it's pretty clear.

I am a negative person when it comes to recruiting. Call it battered Vol syndrome if you like. But I am neither an unhappy individual nor get any joy from making others unhappy. I am simply stating an opinion about college football on a message board.

Eh it's not that bad. I got hell at times from a lot of people for saying Butch made crappy hires on offense and that the Haney article wasn't as egregious as many made it out to be. Never acted like there was a conspiracy against me over it, though.

Saban wants to keep winning, and Tua is the best QB on his roster. He's not going to let Taulia's choices get in the way of his relationship with Tua. That would be sheer stupidity, and as much as I dislike the man, I don't think Saban is an idiot.

I don't know those hairplugs are pretty obvious.

That is true.

Wow..are you being serious? I trust you if you vouch for him..Wow..

I don’t know who he is but he was talking about this interest and family he knew way before any of this started happening. I think if our O looks good to go then we have an excellent chance to pull him. Got to look good this year and the interest is sincere.
