Watching James Graham highlights

I thought Shaw and Washington only came here because of CPJ.

Correct. I guess the article didnt go back that far. Shaw was a 3 star and Tevin was a 2 star. We were the only P5 offer for both. I would say both had an innate grasp of CPJ's offense. They were made for the 3O.
 
So his highlights are against 2A players, so we really do not know what we have yet. He is obviously the most talented kid in the highlights, but playing 2A ball he will have to make a big leap to ACC football. It will be fun to watch Tobias Oliver 6A vs James Graham 2A battle it out one day... FWIW Justin Thomas played (6A) in Bama High School... The highest level of comp in both Georgia and Bama HS is 7A.... Not saying James will be bad, but to even be recruited by a P-5 school a player at the 2A level should be the best player on the field... Now has to prove he is the best player on the college team to start.
7A didn’t exist in Alabama when JT went to Prattville High School. 6A was the max. Prattville was in 7A when they added the classification 4 years ago.

JBo was a saint for getting those first downs against georgia in 2008.
IF our ST hadn't crapped the bed vs VT in 2010 and against ugag in 2012, Tevin would have a statue out front. He was a great QB.

So somewhere between Vad Lee and JfN. Can't go wrong with that call.
 
JBo was a saint for getting those first downs against georgia in 2008.
IF our ST hadn't crapped the bed vs VT in 2010 and against ugag in 2012, Tevin would have a statue out front. He was a great QB.
UGa in 12? I remember them just straight kicking our ass that day. The whole team crapped the bed that day.
we weren't very good either year. 2011 is the year we really let VT off the hook and that kept us having from a 9 win season.
