metafour 4,969 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Alexander just commited to Alabama. Shula probably told Alexander that he'd be recruited as a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUGriff 0 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Yeah, I just saw that. I hate it. I really wanted Alexander as a WR . . . tall and fast. Ah well, hope we pick up a couple of the prospects visiting this weekend. Especially, Bo Harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,499 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 He was a Bama lean the whole time, but wavered a little after the Iron Bowl. But with Tebow going to UF, Bama could pitch the idea that he can get a shot at QB which was more than we would be able to offer him. Then again...it's not a done deal til February!

AUGriff 0 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I didn't know he was a lifelong Alabama fan. As he played QB in high school, I am sure he was promised a shot at Alabama. I know he was recruited as an ATH/WR by Auburn. I doubt he will ever take a snap at Alabama, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Borges and Whitt made an inhome visit to Alexander on Dec. 11 and told him he would be given a clear shot at QB. I don't really understand the deal on this guy. He is highly rated (Rivals has him as a 4 star) yet he didn't even make honorable mention on the Alabama Sports Writer's All State Team. Strange.

Shug2003 1 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 IF Alexander took the promise of a shot at QB seriously, then he must be lacking judgement. Bammer continues to pursue Mustain and others in an effort to secure the signature of a PURE QB with a national reputation. IMO Alexander would have been better off to have committed to AU as a receiver than a second tier QB at Bammer. KInda makes you wonder what goes through the prospects minds these days......

Tigermike 3,039 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 He may just go to Bama and beat everyone out at the position. I hope he does well,,,,, except in the AUBURN game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auskull 239 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 He will play receiver at UAT, just as Johns will play running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 He will play receiver at UAT, just as Johns will play running back. 207842[/snapback] Yeah I dont think he'll play QB at Bama. If he can catch a cold, he'll start next year at WR. Johns may move to LB if we cant get a commit from any more of em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tigrinum Major Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Some Bama fans are asking if Alexander or Johns could be to Bama what Vince Young is to Texas. Silly rabbits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly rabbits. 208985[/snapback] The week before the AU vs. ARK game, WJOX in B'ham had Tracy Rocker (ARK DL coach) on one morning. This was after the ARK vs. USC game. J. Barker actually asked Tracy how he thought Bama and USC would match up. What was so sad, was Jay was serious when he asked the question. Tracy was almost dumbfounded by the question, but to his credit, he said, "Alabama does not want to play USC!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sogaaufan 27 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I read where he will visit Auburn this weekend regardless. 215006[/snapback] Maybe he finally realized that all the QB talk was abunch of bull. Hopefully, he will look at Courtney Taylor and some of the other guys who have changed positions and been sucessful at AU and decide that its a FAR better situation on the Plains. Remember, we have "THE CLOSER" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auskull 239 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 UAT is putting together a good QB class. BamaGrad, where do you rank AE in the QBs committed so far? How many stars would you give him as a QB prospect. I don't think Shula is lying but neither of us think Shula is looking to have this guy behind center come game time. If he IS your QB then in four years Tubby will have to use both hands to count the victories. We'll see him at WR either at UAT or AU. Who knows, Tubbs may have recruited Courtney as a QB hoping that he would be playing on game day as a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
