Scott Lashley 3rd Strang At Bammer

[Bothrops]

You don't say. Amazing how that happens.

But but..Saban cares about these kids futures..

What a waste.

How is Wommack starting? He wasn't a developed 4 or 5* kid. Who developed or is developing him?

He was a four star player.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

He was a four star player.

Naw he was a 3* on every site.

[MarketingBully]

Naw he was a 3* on every site.

He was wanted by every SEC West school basically including us, LSU, Ole Miss, and Alabama. We could say he was a miss for those recruiting services.

You made a statement about them only wanting polished 4 & 5* OL. Womack was neither polished or a 4 or 5*. I asked a question how is he starting since he doesn't fit the bill. It's a rhetorical question. Saban didn't sign Womack or Lashley to keep them from MSU he signed them because he saw they had the potential to be good SEC football players. They may or may not turn out that way but the reason he took them had 0 to do with MSU.

[StatesboroBlues]

In Saban's mind, it's better to have him on his bench then our roster. They didn't need him. Look at their roster. They lied to him and kept him from our roster. Hell, the OL coach that recruited him heavy and told him he was going to be their next bad ass Cam Robinson (an LT btw) isn't even there anymore.

Please...they wanted him, period. Him possibly attending MSU played no part.

[Schultzy]

I still believe at least part of Saban's decision to make Lashley a take so late in the game was to harm our recruiting. It's the smart move (if not ethical) to take a chance on him especially when you have a bunch of existing OL talent.

[bostondawg]

Lashley and Knott are the two latest in a long line of kids who had their futures ruined going to Bama. If you can't get yourself on the field, you can't show yourself to scouts. Period.

Hoping the best for the two in their future. Lashley might be starting for us, and Knott might have started next year for us. Big, big depth if nothing else.

FWIW, Cam Akers is 2nd strang for FSU

Nice. Although 2nd string appears to be 3 guys with Akers being first alphabetically

Yep. And to think... if not for the NCAA stepping in, he'd prob be starting for the webels this fall. Hope he did like LL and took that "visiting" bonus from an OM booster and bought something real nice.

[HoopsDawg]

Langley would be our starting RT. AJ Brown would be a starting WR. 2 golden triangle kids I wish we had.

Who the hell is Langley

[RocketDawg]

Langley [sic] would be our starting RT. AJ Brown would be a starting WR. 2 golden triangle kids I wish we had.

They may both be wishing the same thing about now.

[shoeless joe]

Lashley was a ton of hype because he was big and could move. He was never healthy for a full season in high school...partly because he grew so much so fast. Some very respected guys that were close to him said multiple times that he was a long way from being an SEC player, but he did have the stuff that couldn't be taught so everybody wanted him for his potential.

So we're talking all this about a kid who had raw ability but has never realized any potential...I'm not going to say that he would be starting for us. And I said all of these things during his recruitment.

[TUSK]

Naw he was a 3* on every site.

Wasn't Anthony Steen a "project", too?

Please keep your facts away from this mini pity-party, bitch fest. They will not be acknowledged, simply glossed over. It doesn't fit the "bash Hevesy" narrative some of these knuckleheads carry around.

[TUSK]

I seriously doubt MDL wants ANY recruit to "keep them away from MSU"...

If he thinks a guy has the potential to help him win, he signs em.... and to say Bammer "doesn't develop" players is patently absurd.

Reloading with a ton of five stars every year is not what I call developing players. How is that developing QB machine working out for you guys at Alabama? Please. Saban is an elite coach and elite recruiter but he is not a developer. He wins because he has the number 1 recruiting class every year and his talent is elite. He proved as much when he only went 7-6 his first year and had to get his recruiting machine going to start really winning.

Ahh the goat is back.
