So a true freshman that doesn't play at Alabama is a red flag?

9 WRs played. Amari did not. I don’t know why. He could have played in up to 4 games and still redshirted, so that’s not the reason. I also question whether or not it was because he was hurt. He was healthy enough to play on the scout team during practice, he doesn’t appear on any injury reports, there’s nothing on X about him being hurt, and there’s no news articles about him being hurt. Those are the facts.

I don’t hate Amari and I hope we get him. But I’m not going to get my hopes up on him making a big impact.

He is listed as injured on the linked page for the LSU, OK, and MI games, but never showed up on the official injury report.

Remember the past when a player came in and we didn't know their names until they were a Junior. Now if you are not a NFL ready all world player your true freshman year you suck. Williams and Smith are one of the few that can back this statement up, the rest need to be developed and that's another discussion.

Why isn't it? He couldn't get on the field apparently. He wasn't hurt all yearlong, so don't even try it

Sure thing know it all. For your information not every FR gets to play. I mean it seems like because Williams at Bama and Smith at OSU balled out as FR every FR are just like them. That’s complete BS.

If you want to believe it’s some kind of red flag that he didn’t play fine. By all means, please
Use your glorious knowledge and give us the inner workings at Bama. Tell us why he didn’t get any playing time. You know so much more than everyone else. Let’s hear your expert opinion.

Nobody really knows. But stop saying it’s a red flag. It’s not.

You would have thrown a parade if we landed him last year. Now after 1 year I guess he sucks. lol. Nobody gives up on freshmen like Tennessee fans.

Was it ever stated why he was the only one or one of the only WRs to not touch the field. I’m just curious, I’ve warmed up to this kid.

If anything he’s got fresh tread on him

I can only imagine that if you are the only one in the WR room, to not play….its embarrassing and a feeling of disrespect.

He's also a damn good player, as anyone who watched his Sr Highlights can see. He also performed well all week at USAAAG.

ON3 still has him 100% Vols. Thought I saw someone someone post 2pm today. So we'll see.

2PM is a running joke around here. Up there with waffle house fights, shower stomping, and nitwits that think they're a purple Yeti from 1960's claymation cartoons.

Last thing I read from @dascoop or @KingVFL staff is backchanneling to several players. This is one of them. Perhaps these things can only be done during business hours?

One thing that @Ericvol2096 has confirmed is they have to be secret about things until ink is dry, else we get OL that reverses course to LSU

That's one possibility. It's also possible that he was a highly ranked recruit who, for whatever reason, hasn't translated well to college.

To everyone overreacting to me and others questioning his ability to make an impact (not you), I'm not saying he's a bust. But I'm not going to put my head in the sand and ignore the possibility that he is. It happens all the time. JJ Peterson is probably the most common example but there's been many since him. Most recently, Caleb Webb and Nathan Leacock come to mind, but it's also happened to a recent Saban recruit, Agiye Hall. Former 5-star wide receiver who bounced around since signing with Alabama and is currently on his way to Sacramento State. Some guys have all the ability in the world and just never get their head on straight.

I lean toward Jefferson's struggles being related to the hip surgery, which is at least a small cause for concern in itself, but I'm taking the wait and see approach on this one.

Long gone are the days of development. If you aren’t starting by the middle of your true freshman year, you should be brought out back and put down. It’s only fair to the hardworking fans. Keep rosters lean, no more than 24 players. Two kickers and 22 positional players.

I always love the incoming freshman being penciled in as starters over the upcoming sophomores who were penciled in as starters as true freshman the year before.
