QB Tua Tagovailoa [Alabama - Signed LOI]

[swmohusker]

But what? Alabama runs a pro-style offense. Why did they recruit a great Dual Threat QB, a true athlete? What in the wide world of sports is Saban doing?

Would this be like us signing Tate Martell?!?!

lolololol

I suppose it would be the same if Bama took Tua's commitment and then went out a couple of weeks later and offered another QB.

Like we did last year with POB and Wilson, but opposite order. Took POB and then went and got a dual threat Qb.

Pretty sure Wilson committed first.

U are correct. Flipped the order of the 2. Either way we went after a Pro and Dual threat QB last year, even though Terry Wilson didnt quite fit our system.

If 247 can be trusted, it shows that Wilson and O'Brien were offered on the same day. 4-21-15

Wilson committed on 5-5-15. Then O'Brien on 5-21-15.

This is not the same as Wilson committing(and staying committed/enrolling early) and then offering another QB like some are suggesting with Gebbia and Martell.

Don't disagree, but that isn't what I was responding to. The assertion in the post I replied to was that the staff went and got POB first then went and got Wilson.
