Are we about to witness another moment of Nick Saban’s recruiting genius?
This is very possible, especially with what Alabama is planning at wide receiver. College football lost its most dynamic and entertaining playmaker in Jaylen Waddle on last week, as he sustained a season-ending right ankle injury versus Tennessee.
In comparing to former NBA legend, Allen Iverson, Saban told reporters on Monday that the Crimson Tide cannot replace an athlete of Waddle’s caliber. All it can do is find players that will step up, cushion the blow and keep the offense moving forward.
Slade Bolden, a redshirt sophomore, becomes the next man up, but the Tide will have help behind him.
