volfannbama: Thank you for coming to UT and all you did for the team AK. Awesome player, awesome dude.
PA Vol: Well, good luck. Really enjoyed his time and commitment here. Would’ve like to have seen him return, but I think he will do just fine.
VolnJC: No surprise…this might actually be a good thing…recruits look at who you are sending to the league.
zeppelin128: Hate to see him go, but I can’t blame him one bit. Go make that money Alvin. VFL
KBVol: It’s the right decision. Our program was much better for him having been a part of it the last 2 years. Will watch him closely and root for him like hell no matter which NFL team he lands on. Thanks and good luck Alvin.

One of my favorite VOLS ever. I hope we get him in Carolina!
Works for me. That’s close enough that I could travel to watch him play. Ha.
Thanks for the comment American_PitVol.
Kamara joins the pantheon of great UT RB’s: Cobb Webb Jones Garner Cheese Stewart Hayden, etc. Thanks for the memories….GBO
I wish all 3 of our early guys well. But I am of the opinion Allen from Alabama has the right idea on whether to stay or go. If the player is not going to be a guaranteed 1st round pick leaves and gets drafted after the First they have cost themselves a minimum of $17 million in potential signing bonus money. Using his logic and Saban’s you should stay and play your senior season.
Thank you Alvin!
