Read on AL.com that Christian Bell was leaving Alabama. The process continues...

Yoda says "Strong the process is in Tuscaloosa".
Seriously, I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, if you offer the kid a scholarship, it should be honored the whole four years. On the other hand, there is something to be said for the coaches being honest with a kid and telling him that he will never see the field so they are going to let him go and play somewhere else where he might see the field.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Scollies are year to year. The kids know that going in. But, like you, I believe they are initially promised many things that don't actually happen, just to get them to commit.

Most schools have changed to 4 year scholly commitments. I believe Alabama was one of them that did this in order to show a commitment to the prospects. Still doesn't mean anything though. If they want them gone, they 'll be gone.

I agree that when a school "signs" you, it should be for all 4-5 years, AS LONG AS YOU ARE HOLDING UP YOUR END, sometimes these players decide not to put in the hard work it takes. Or get caught with dope and stolen guns in La...

Bell is transferring to Wisconsin and still has 4 years of eligibility left since he sat out last year with a grayshirt. Good luck to him.
