He has been here 4 years. He RS'd his first year. Joel, I understand your sentiments, but thse kids all want to play in the "league." Have you ever talked with any of them?
BTW, Fran is getting roughly the same money at A & M that we were offering, so his leaving was not about money. It was more about sanctions, and the fact tha the'll probably own Mack Brown in about 2 years.

Its OK for a playa to sign a commitment to play ball for four years and, at the end of the third year 'turn loose of the rope' and run for bigger money. But we all have a shiite-fit when ex-Coach Fran does the exact same thing? To me, these are the exact same situations. Neither have enough class to stick with their commitment (provided JS does bolt). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Baker, Lee Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 8:55 AM To: RollTideFan-The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List Subject: RE: [RollTideFan] After Britt injury, Smiley eyes NFL Precisely, Rick. I think he said the would "weigh his options" at seasons end. IF he gets good feedback from scouts and NFL personnel, why shouldn't he go pro? ______________________________________________________ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan!
