I did not know that Hardin County Government colors were Alabama red..... ish is cray.

 

[#1rish]

I say he picks Bama

 

[dublinirish]

i bet his annoucement will be super douchey ala Savon Huggins

 

[#1rish]

Maybe he'll rap for us like Jabrill

 

[T Town Tommy]

I say he picks Bama

I'm gonna say UK and his relationship with Drew Barker sealed the deal.

He also said this:

We still have a chance?

Of course in T Town that reference only means one thing....

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Now, THAT, would be funny!

Elam is appealing to Bear Bryant for advice?

 

[#1rish]

That black helmet in the middle unwraps to a golden helmet

 

[irishfan]

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.

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.

 

[dublinirish]

McDonalds has an outside chance of securing his services here..

 

[#1rish]

Kentucky it is.

 

[ulukinatme]

It's 'Tucky
[EDIT] Damn, how'd ya beat me? I already had it typed up!

 

[dublinirish]

LOL all those frosh at UK gonna be in a rough year

 

[ulukinatme]

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

 

[T Town Tommy]

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.

 

[ulukinatme]

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.

 

[Emcee77]

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.

 

[ulukinatme]

Elam is trending on Twitter now, he should be happy

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

Haha yep ... we may be looking back in a couple years and saying ND and Bama both dodged a bullet here.

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.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Good luck to the kid, I hope he gets his shtick together and becomes a force.

 

[T Town Tommy]

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.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

We've heard the last of him IMO.

Let me show you my surprised face:
