Apparently Saban has told him that being "the man" at TN will wear on his body, whereas he can be "the guy" at Bama in two years then be primed and his body be in good condition to take the NFL on. Hard to argue with that logic, a RB only has so many years on his knees and whatnot.
Yes, I see the logic of that. I mean, they only have played 8 RBs this year (yes EIGHT, look it up) and they have a true frosh who got about the same number of carries as Lacy. Yeah, I guess he can wait a couple years.
But still, I see why he would want to go to bammer. I mean, with Saban's personality, who wouldn't want to play for that guy? He's like a kindly old uncle!
Then there's the garden spot that is Tuscaloosa Alabama. What better place to go to school and eat barbecue and uh, do other things. . I mean, someone told me it was the closest thing to So Beach outside the state of Florida!
My oh my, SO many good reasons for a recruit to go to bammer. That nice Mr. Saban down there sure can recruit, I tell ya what!
