'24 TN WR Amari Jefferson (Alabama transfer)

[TrippieRedd]

“Alabama coach Nick Saban spent a lot of time with Jefferson during his trip to Tuscaloosa - and a picture emerged on social media of the two sitting together at dinner - as Saban made a hard pitch to Jefferson that he’s the type of player and person Alabama needs and wants on the roster. That level of attention definitely is playing a big role in the thinking of the four-star receiver from Chattanooga (Tenn.) Baylor School as the Crimson Tide battle Georgia, Tennessee and others for him.”


Bet Nicky gave him dessert after

And he didn’t even have to bend down to do so.












Cus he’s so short. Get it?

Ok not gonna like that would be cool asf to have the greatest coach in cfb history want to eat dinner with you one on one while on ur recruiting visit

 

[LittleVol]

He gone too...

Damn

 

[Jackcrevol]

He gone too...

Damn

Whaddyou mean, 'too?'

Saban gets personal on one TN rakroot and airbody freaks out.

Tennessee just needs to show him the Gibbs statement about the difference between Alabama & NFL practices. “They don’t try to kill us”

Alabama vs. NFL practice: ‘They don’t try to kill us’

 

[UTK]

Really don’t care if we get him or not. Wingo and Matthews are elite. Jefferson is just decent and local. If he was from Charlotte instead of Chattanooga then he’d be just another name along with Kopa, Dubose, etc. But because of optics we have to act like omg omg omg gotta get him!!!!

Miss me with that

I agree honestly. But I still want him lmao

I mean....you could spin that to say "if you can make it at Alabama, you'll be prepared for the pros."

Like...I don't see that as a knock on Bama. There's a reason they're good.

He was at Alabama less that a year. I don’t think they can claim a huge “development” achievement here. Gibbs was a great RB at Ga Tech but he saw they weren’t going anywhere.

We just need to recruit those lesser ranked guys and develop them.

2024 recruiting sucks

Agreed. I barely come on this site and every time this guy is bumping threads with stupidness.

Jefferson is a lot better than just decent lol

I'm not disagreeing with you, but why have all the services seemingly universally agreed he's a fringe top-200 prospect? Alabama and UGA fighting Tennessee tooth and nail for him, and yet he's not highly thought of by any service. Is it the lack of football experience, former commitment to baseball, no camps? I guess we should be expecting a sizeable bump in most, if not all, of his recruiting profiles based on his suitors, but the gap in the teams chasing him and his rankings is quite strange.

 

[bignewt]

wr is the easiest and most plentiful position to recruit. ESPECIALLY in this offense. I will never worry about it while Heupel is the coach. Never.

I agree and think it’s just a coping mechanism for some to say he’s not that good and move on to make them feel better. I don’t care about the stars it’s about who’s making him a priority.

He’s this classes Arion Carter IMO.

Ignore is awesome. I had to “show ignored content” to see what nut job was speaking. Should have known.

I dont like to ignore people. But, for me to take time, and find a a Doug, from MTV's The State gif, takes a special kinna ign'rnt. Even Bass wasnt like this...

He's just newer to the spotlight. Junior season was his breakout year with the new coach using him on offense

If you don't know, Newt, grabbing the most likely first round talent is the way to demolishing Bama and GA's and OSU's negative recruiting. I mean that for WRs overall. I'm not talking about Jefferson specifically. Also, we need to be unstoppable against the best DBs in the biz. And, sure, some things will change over time. Some guys will rise and some fall in college play.

Amplification: AL, GA, and OSU are raking in recruiting and then attributing the players' draft status entirely to development. It's not true, but it works somewhat. They are also claiming falsely that our system is inferior NFL prep, which is also not true, and which the best athletes playing here will disprove.

But it's not as simple as just "look out a window" (#399) and anyone becomes magic once they get here. Even though our development and also our scheme are the best.

No one knows if Jefferson or any of these guys will be the most likely first round talent. But if anyone does its our staff and we've seen that they can DEVELOP wr talent into first round potential. All I need to know.
