Jameis Winston (QB New Orleans Saints)

[MuckFighigan]

If he visits he signs IMO remember when Urban was at Florida he had Tebow and signed Cam Newton I believe the same will happen for Winston will fit perfectly in this offense...

The main thing I'm worried about is if he heads to the MLB like Bubba Starling did.

Doesnt Alabama have some depth already at QB?
They signed Phillip Sims, 5-star #2 rated QB in the 2010 and hes not even the starter yet.
They have AJ Mccarron as the starter, 4-star #17 rated QB signed 2009. He'll only be a Junior next year.
So Jameis would be 3rd back in the depth chart, I havent even seen Sims play, so I dont imagine Jameis would see much playing time next year...
Unless Sims just isnt a good qb...?

I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth, but I think BF38 was making the depth-chart argument, rather than suggesting that 'Bama might not have room for Winston. As you note, 'Bama always has room, at least temporarily.

But to the depth-chart argument, while I'm certainly no recruiting expert, I tend to think it carries a lot more weight in the minds of hopeful fans than it does in the minds of most recruits. Maybe it holds a little more sway for quarterbacks than for other positions, simply because at QB, one guy can lock up all the meaningful PT for 2-3 years. But the big-time programs always have substantial depth at most positions, and yet the big time recruits keep flocking to them. Depth-chart be damned.

Probably a combination of players feeling they're good enough to compete for the job and a line being fed by the coaching staff that keeps it going.

According to Scout, 5* QB Jameis Winston will not visit Ohio State.

If he is smart, he should play baseball anyway. Good luck to him.

I've always held that opinion as well. The pursuit of baseball is typically a more lucrative and safe career choice. Always thought Russell Wilson should have continued with the Rockies minor league affiliates and earned his few hundred thousand a season.

Good luck to him though

Meyer can't close!

This was the longest of longshots. Wish he would have taken the visit, but oh well. On to the next one...

Fear the spear. Sticking with the 'Noles.

That sucks...I was hoping to see him at Stanford.

Heard his interview this morning. Very smart, personable kid. He'll do great in either football or baseball, and in life...

Heard the interview also. He said he wouldn't sign until Friday or next Wednesday. Did he sign today?

I think this kid gets drafted in the first round in the baseball draft and never plays a down of college football. He signed with FSU because the ACC allows professional baseball players to play college football. The SEC doesn't.

eta - I think FSU is his backup plan in case he doesn't get drafted in the first round or anything else goes wrong.
