WarDamnEagleWDE 12,737 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Will somebody please update me on what's going on? What does CB stand for? Is Bama going to all stops to get JR to flip to them? AU is good here. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie1860 27 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 My God! This is why I dislike social media. Total BS can take off and become gospel to some before anyone ever stops to find out if it is even true! This is crap that Byron/Bryan(?) DeVinner got started. I can't believe he is even still allowed on an SEC campus in any capacity. JR would be incredibly dumb if he got mixed up with him again. While I have no actual proof, I don't think there is much question whether he had any involvement in JR's first fiasco. I wouldn't even be in the same room with him if I could help it were I Jovon.

I have heard of Byron DeVinner multiple times on this forum, who is he and what did he do? A 7-on-7 coach from Memphis. He was involve with the Redmond kid a Miss St. that got in trouble for taking $$. Of course he was who Jovon got rides from before, and most assuredly had a hand in the Transcript issue for Jovon. He is Rico McGraw's coach and just orchestrated his flip to Bama from UGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these 7 on 7 coaches seem to be following the AAU pattern from basketball....picking up exceptional athletes and then shopping them around to the big Div 1 schools...most certainly with approval of parents and guardians who think these guys are the only way for their kids to get recognized....and maybe they are correct?

Mikey 16,579 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 "Handlers" are not necessary. Having been involved with baseball for a number of years, I can say that if a player has the talent, the schools and/or teams will find him. Football 7 on 7's, baseball travel squads and AAU basketball are not necessary. The guys selling their product will say they are essential to be "found" but that's baloney.

This is true as far as exposure. Might take you a little longer to be found, but they'll find you. It does help to be able to compete against the best though. Helps those who play in a weak region to show what they've got against stiff competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but some of these parents and guardians are frankly just not very worldly....and are probably easy targets for these "agents"....some of whom charge for putting the promotion packages together, etc. Rotten stuff IMO.

Just guessing, Bo then Fullwood if recruits had stars back then? Oddly, Bo was thought of as a sort of "project" player and not that highly regarded, though his measurables were off the chart. Bo was rated the #5 recruit in Alabama so probably would have been a solid 4*. Fullwood definitely would have been a 5*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au_bsci_04 407 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Bo was no 5* and was largely thought of as a LB. The top back in the state that year was Allen Evans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great example of them not being able rate how much heart and mental toughness an athlete has. Bo had it, Alan didn't. And, Bo, if anything, was seriously underrated as an athletic talent. Heck, he won the state championship for McAdory in track singlehandedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,579 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Quoting from the AP recruiting listing at the time, concerning Bo: "He could turn into the stuff that legends are made of." But he was still ranked as their #5 recruit in Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
