For those interested, it appears Elam is sporting an Irish colored tie. LOL

We still have a chance?

I guess I'd rather have him go to UK? Just for the 1% chance he actually gets his head on straight and develops into a beast NT.

Elam is appealing to Bear Bryant for advice?

LOL...

He is still trying to figure out how to get that Notre Dame hat out of that McDonald's bag. He DOES have the matching tie.

Besides... they don't make a helmet big enough to fit his head so that must mean he chooses the Bama hat on the table.

Says he wants to stay home and help the state out, help out Coach Stoops, says 'Bama is the Mecca of football.

Good luck to Matt. Hope he understands the great opportunity he has been given to make something with his life.

Congrats to UK and Stoops. Got a pretty nice class going.

Dreams of going to the NFL, but he wants to get his degree and knows that if it doesn't work out he still has the degree to fall back on. Anticipates playing right away, but knows he has to lose some weight and get stronger.

I think it's the right move, with all the interior DL Alabama already has. Not that it's ok to be afraid of competition, and not saying Elam wouldn't have beaten out Frazier and the others (well, kind of saying that), but if you love the local school anyway why take the risk of being a benchwarmer. As Bill Bradley, the former New York Knick and U.S. Senator used to say, playing time is "food" to an athlete. He simply cannot exist without it.

Sigh of relief, Tommy? Elam's bust potential is off the charts.

Wow, his coach just said that playing at 380, Elam can only go 100% for a few plays. Kentucky better hope they can get him in shape. Elam is at 380? I thought it was closer to 320? I guess Rivals hasn't updated, the first post in this thread does say 370.

If... and with everything Elam, it is a BIG IF... he gets in the gym and works on his weight he could eventually be an impact player. Depends on him at this point. UK has a great S&C coach so we shall see.

Yeah... I was not high on him from the start - but don't we all say that after he chooses the other team. He does have the potential but does he have the work ethic? No in between with him... either he works hard and develops into a solid player or he folds and ends back up at home. I hope he makes it.
