No one makes promises. Offers from the school are as binding as verbal commitments are from the kids. It's a harsh game.

Nick Saban has always been a proponent of an early signing period, but other coaches, ADs, and presidents around the country have shot it down. If there had been an early signing period, and Justin Taylor had signed then, then he'd be at Alabama right now, or Bama might never have made an offer to him in the hopes that another player would sign later. It's wrong to hate on Saban for doing this when he proposed an alternative. He's playing by the same rules as everyone else.

Sure, but saban could have told him where he really stands, no? Nothing wrong with being honest with a kid. "hey, we will accept your commitment, but just to let you know we are recruiting a couple other guys at your position we would take. It may be good to have a couple other options in place in case we can't give you a scholarship".

Simple, honest, direct, and the kid knows exactly where he stands. For a coach making $4 mil plus per year, it should be his responsibility to plan better instead of griping about signing periods or assuming an 18 year old kid knows better.

In the words of the President, "Joe, just shut the eff up, you're making us all look like idiots!"

we all know bammers history, but where they stand now i dont think paying players is a big issue. maybe after saban is gone and a couple of lean years the rogue boosters will rear their ugly heads again.

Your replies in this thread have been horrible. I'm sure you don't care, but I wanted to make you aware. You should either try harder or give up completely.

Why would they do that? He got hurt and was offered a greyshirt to insure he was healthy before committing a schollie. It sucks, but there's nothing wrong with it.

He was told the week before that he was going to be grayshirted. Yes, it sucks that he didn't have the opportunity to take more visits after finding out, but he didn't need to go through the whole hat game when he already knew he wasn't getting a scholarship.

I don't know man, this is a stretch I think. If I was a car dealer and Trent came in wanting a car on credit I would give it to him with little or no down. Once drafted, he would be more than good for it.
