Finally can tell my aggy story.    Have a good insight into this kids recruitment and I’m still laughing about his visit to aggy. Dude gets his player host (I’ll let y’all find who that is) and

How do you think this is helpful? Not being a jerk, just asking y'all to keep your shit together and use common sense. In any event, I know for a fact that nothing ever happens with Texas until a

He could have if he isn't. Play devil's advocate and tell us why you feel about this guy's overall approach to his recruitment and how that either translates to the next level or doesn't matter.

Former #1 overall recruit, then Bama bust - back to the Hall/Billingsley lotto

https://www.on3.com/db/antonio-alfano-6859/recruiting/

Thaaaaaat's interesting. I remember reading about his issues at Bama - lots of mental health stuff, not ready to leave home, family issues, etc. By his lack of other offers, I'll assume he hasn't completely put it together, but if he can....big one. 

 

Edit to add: More context since leaving Bama

Tucker, for one, left for the open Michigan State job, leaving Alfano without the coach he’d committed to. Then Alfano was suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules after Karl Dorrell took over as head coach. Alfano also began to have issues with epilepsy.

While at Colorado he experienced some scary epileptic seizures that prevented him from playing. Noted Colorado coach Karl Dorrell at the time, via the Denver Post: “We don’t quite have a handle on his medical situation well enough to be released to practice and to compete right now.”

Unable to play at Colorado, Alfano left and would later wind up at Independence Community College in Kansas. He spent last spring there but is now seeking a new JUCO opportunity at Lackawanna in Scranton, Pa.

Medically cleared and working out again, can Alfano play his way back into the FBS ranks? That remains to be seen. But it certainly appears the story is not yet complete for one of the 2019 class’ top talents, with Antonio Alfano back in pursuit of his goal of playing high-level college football.

Gerry was asked if Texas will go after him, he said, “I hope not.” Telling, imo.

Sark was at Alabama the same time he was, he probably also has some context for his story. Maybe they’re just giving his recruitment a boost. 
He’s as flaky as it gets, but a very talented player if he can manage being further away from home.

He's 5-1...

Are you talking about his height?

Choking and losing to your less-talented rival you boat raced a year ago in a season you are supposed to be winning the conference is not "stepping up," no matter what excuses you accept. OU has ruined our season repeatedly since Mack Brown stepped on campus, with very few exceptions.
