January 28, 201412 yr Author He was ready to go to UK, then Saban texted a selfie to make him think.. He thought and my crystal ball says UK.
January 28, 201412 yr I really hope Elam goes to UK' date=' notwithstanding people's observations of his play in high school. Rarely have I ever seen a big lineman that impressed me in high school. Most of them are overweight, aren't strong enough and simply haven't had the time to "grow into' their big bodies. Hell, Larry Warford didn't impress me at all in high school and he was pretty much owned by Cody Rosenhagen. But he went to UK, got in shape (well, as much as some one that big can be in shape), got stronger, improved his footwork and became an All SEC linemen and I believe in playing in the NFL now. I can see the same thing happening to Elam if he is willing to do what it takes.[/quote'] Couldn't agree more. I watched Mario Williams play in high school and was never impressed. I could never understand why every college in the country wanted him, he was later taken #1 in the NFL draft...
January 28, 201412 yr Folks he signs with UK. So relax, he stays home he will continue to have the media and others care what he is doing all the time. He goes to Bama and he becomes just another part of the puzzle. Stays at UK can be a star. He is no different than a lot of kids. Either way I wished him the best.
January 28, 201412 yr He goes to Bama and he becomes just another part of the puzzle. Stays at UK can be a star. He is no different than a lot of kids. If he is good enough he can be a star at Bama. Being a star at Bama and being a star at Kentucky are two different things IMO. Wish him the best no matter where he goes and with him being a Kentucky kid I hope he makes it all the way to the big time.
January 28, 201412 yr Author If he drops 40 pounds and stops eating burgers and drinking pop he can be a star anywhere, not Nick Saban rocket science, he had offers everywhere.
January 28, 201412 yr Steve Jones @SteveJones_CJ 5m UK's Brown, Brumbaugh, Eliot coming to see Matt Elam tomorrow. Alabama's Smart, Thompson, Davis coming early Thurs. He announces noon Thurs.
January 28, 201412 yr He is going to Bama.. If he was going to UK he would of already announced imo..
January 28, 201412 yr I dont Elam personally, but the vibe I get from him and what I've read. I will be shocked if he doesnt come pick UK. JMO.
January 28, 201412 yr John Hardin invited KSR to do its radio show Thursday from the library, where Elam will be making his announcement.
