By the way, ‘Bama fans who keep using the Elliot Porter and Justin Miller LSU situations to justify the Justin Taylor thing … LSU offered Porter the same deal that Saban offered Taylor: a greyshirt. And Taylor would have merely had to defer his enrollment until fall instead of enrolling early, so that wouldn’t have even been a greyshirt. And I wish ‘Bama fans would quit claiming that it is because Taylor was injured. Like Saban would risk losing a 5 star recruit with a relatively minor knee injury to LSU or Florida by offering a greyshirt. Also, Saban was fine with Taylor’s knee injury until Tracy Yeldon – 5 star RB – committed. THAT was the point when Taylor’s knee magically required him to sit at home for ELEVEN MONTHS waiting on a NONBINDING GREYSHIRT OFFER TO COME THROUGH instead of getting a binding letter of intent for a grant in aid TOMORROW. TOMORROW versus ELEVEN MONTHS for a kid who is a ward of the state and as a result had his high school coach appointed as his guardian.

And no, I am not bashing Saban or ‘Bama. This may SHOCK you, but comments on a blog aren’t going to cause any injury to Saban or the Alabama athletics program. Just countering the foolishness of ‘Bama fans who pretend as if it is an honor to be greyshirted and stuffed on the shelf for 11 months when you have no means of paying for your college education – which, you know, is generally the case for WARDS OF THE STATE – or something.
