Alabama football fans were relieved when the rumors of a return by Ale Kaho were confirmed by the young man on Instagram. “They lied to you… 10 gon be back real soon… stronger than ever!” was the message. Who was it doing the lying? We assume it was a reference to doubters that did not include Nick Saban.
Last Friday, after Kaho missed the Tide’s first spring practice, Saban expressed some doubt if at some time “he will be ready … to play football or not.” Perhaps Nick was sending Ale a message. Maybe Kaho’s personal troubles, that were known last year, continue to plague him.
