Jeff ReineBold THE ROAD HOUSTON...UPDATE

Alabama staff also wouldn't tell the SMU staff about a good 2011 prospect until signing date or close thereto-why invite competition. I think he may be referring to a 2010 guy who Alabama has no room for, a late qualifier or someone with a late change of plans.

I agree, I had the same feeling. If it is a 2011 kid then it would be someone that is not good enough for Alabama but the Alabama coach thought his friend Tom Mason might be able to use him.

Perhaps it is a cruel jest played upon Mason-san, building up his hopes while knowing that they will crash like waves upon rocks. Does the cruelty of Alabama know no bounds!!

I figured it was someone who wasnt good enough to play at Alabama but plenty good enough to play for us. Its possible they could be full on DTs as well.

anyone figure out who he might be talking about?

i wonder how close this kid is to Houston area or if coach is going off to Mississippi or somewhere a little further east...

go down the road and look for the large wooden horse. or eric bana.

if so I would think it would be one of the Blinn guys. If it was the guy at Trinity Valley, I think Reinebolds post wouldve sounded something like "headed back" or something...he'd come back to dallas to go to Athens....not necessarily "chasing down." I could be wrong

[reddevil]

Big guy out of Blinn, with some interest from some big time programs, including K-State.

Id like to think we know about ALL the kids who are Jucos in Texas(he says we heard of em from Alabama)... but it makes more sense to be headed to a place like Blinn from Houston more than anywhere else.

wait so where is troy...?

Ive been told that a 340lb DT attends a Mississippi juco and also that he can rumba.

It Alabama is full up for 2010 and SMU signs him it would keep him out of the SEC.

[westexSMU]

Troy U. is in Alabama.

[Alaric]

ahhh...a defensive line with Taylor Thompson and Marquis Frazier on the outside, Jesse Williams at the nose with depth from Margus Hunt and the 340 pound JC DT coming off the bench

[BUS]

Can you say Warren Sapp - Ozfan?
Cha Cha Cha

DR Pepper - Just what the doctor ordered.

[westexSMU]

Alabama is in on JUCO DT Williams also and probably the reason they are letting us know about another 2010 DT. They know Williams is still considering SMU because of our coaches and obvious playing time.
