Most HS atheletes would love to have an opportunity to play at/for Alabama.

These boys blew a golden opportunity and may not play football anythere...anymore. They certainly won't at U of A.

CodeToad, you and I both know that these players don't do the school work. They couldn't do it if they tried.
