    Initially Les recruited him at LSU but wanted to move him to cornerback. Reports said jamarr walked off the field and that was a wrap.
    Then he got caught up in the hoopla with all the LA guys committing to KU. Withdrew after he sobered up a week later. Imagine if he had stayed and Les shows up as his hc.

    So later when he was committing to tcu he got bumped on his TV announcement at the Nike deal. A day he had planned in advance on his grandmother's birthday who was dying of cancer and who's favorite color was purple. Well when that day passed he took it as a sign. Then signed with Florida colors be damned.

    But McElwain got shitcanned and Oeaux knew he was a must get and showed up at jamarrs house with all the coaches in tow. And the rest as they say is really bad news for Bama and Florida history. Mickey Joseph did all the leg work to get him here.

    Also Feleipe dumping us for Florida was the catalyst for Oeaux to go get some kid named Joe Burrow.

    Please don't say that name again. We paid a stiff price in 2011 to be free of having to say it aloud.

    Not that we didn't already know it, but this year PROVED that we were just a QB and modern offense away from great things and then the realization that Miles pissed away several seasons where a NC was possible because of his ineptness to sign/develop a QB and his pig headedness sticking with an prehistoric offense.

    What did we say the 3 years we wasted with the great Leonard Fournette? Just think if we could complete a forward pass. We weren't even asking for a touchdown machine or even someone who could constantly throw for 250-300 yards. Just somebody who could complete a few key passes.
