I would REALLY like to see this. A PRO BB/ Collg football deal. He's really too good for college baseball. He may not get as much money, but he would still be able to fulfill a dream.

I have faith he can pull it off. Winston is a rarity.

will be in Tuscaloosa Thursday.Twitter
please take this however you want. There has been no change from original plans 2 weeks ago. I think the media is trying to create excitement and buzz or just sell papers. At least 4 elite 11 qb know where winston is going. Its not changed. Bama. ike I said before. Ps.. If he wanted to hose another team, wouldnt it make sense to go auburn then ditch em for the mlb.. Or fsu n ditch em for mlb.. Leave em hanging for a qb..

Taking Winston is a risk and if we do and he opts for the draft I have no issue with him for it and I think if CNS does and that happens he was well aware of the possibility. Remember we are not bare in the QB dept. We have a RS Soph and a 2 RS Freshman, plus a true freshman that was an Army AA last year. Three of those QBs would probably already be starting at other schools this fall if they had went elsewhere. If we miss out on a QB in the class I do not feel it will hurt us. It might be the one position we can afford to miss out on. Just my opinion.

Warrior, all that might change if the loser of the Philip/AJ battle decides to transfer.
It could but I only see AJ transferring not Phillip. And then we still have Blake and Phillip. So we would still have atleast 3 going into the 2012 season because if one did transfer it would not happen until after the 2011 season. We will get atleast 1 QB for 2012. Lambert or someone else. So we actually should have 4 QBs going into 2012 even if one of our current transfer. So if Winston commits to us and goes to MLB we should be fine.

Tidetwin,

this is not intended towards you, but I keep seeing this line of thought come up lately these days on the possibilty of Sims/AJ transferring if one doesn't get the nod to start.

You have to think that both these QBs are one injury away from starting over the other. IMO, these two are very aware of that fact esp. considering that they were both equal after the A Day game.

To counter that - look at Demetrius Goode or Corey Grant. Both were a play or two away from playing but decide to transfer. If a player feels he deserves more PT, we can say "good-bye" because he's gone.

I think Sims definately leaves if he doesn't win the job. I don't know if he can sit 2 more years waiting to start for 1 season. And they are well aware of the "one injury away" philosophy but that's borderline of putting all of your eggs in one basket.

Agree with what you have to say, Sanjose. I just based my thoughts on some statements made by AJ last winter. It was something along the lines of " I wouldn't be surprised if the loser of this competition sought a transfer'. Sorry to have detoured this thread.

I remembered that statement as well. You could be right on the transfer. we will have to wait and see on how this plays out.

It's all or nothing now at least for a top 2 QB in this class but I think Kiel knew Winston's intentions (at least I hope so). 8/3 can't get here fast enough.
Yep, I have to hope that same thing right now as well. Any chance we get an early surprise since he's visiting Tuscaloosa with family tomorrow?

When Jameis goes MLB next year, will we have a 2nd QB from the 2012 class or are we rolling the dice on 2012?
If Winston commits I think there is little doubt we will have another QB in this class. Winston was quoted as saying the school he is going to will probably sign 2 QB's and he has no problem with it. I think with his high liklihood of being drafted high the staff has let him know this.

there is talk that LSU is getting more love from Winston now because of baseball. i thought he said he was either going to play college football or pro baseball (implying he wouldn't play college baseball)
