Title: Grad Transfer QB decommits from Bama Post by: Catch Prothro on March 22, 2018, 07:51:05 AM http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2018/03/grad_transfer_qb_decommits_fro.html
Quote East Carolina graduate transfer Gardner Minshew was committed to the Tide until Tuesday when he flipped to a Washington State program that offered more opportunity for immediate playing time. So we have a story about 3rd string QB Mac Jones, who while behind the other two apparently might have the stuff to start one day. http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2018/03/lost_in_the_hype_other_alabama.html Quote "I think he gets lost in the Jalen and Tua hype, guys that have played this year " Alabama running back Damien Harris told AL.com before the Sugar Bowl. "But I don't know if people understand he's going to be a big-time playmaker someday. He has a strong arm. He has a great mind for the game and I think he'll really be successful one day once he gets his opportunity." ... "His mind for the game," Harris said. "He understands defenses really well. He sees things on the field before they happen. I think he has a strong arm. Like I said, people don't think about him or talk about him much as a player but I think one day he's going to surprise a lot of people."

I'm just glad he's willing to stick it out, at least for now.

If Tua & Jalen both stay, then coaches need to get Jones some decent 1st team snaps in practice and playing time early in the season. I say regard him as the backup to the two co-starters and get him ready to play.
