I agree. Man, Cooper Bateman must be torn up about his college career. Recruiting rankings don’t get you playing time and he was beat out most of his career, but you know the kid is talented. Rides pine at Alabama and ends up the holder. Rides pine for Utah, ends up the back up holder, never sees the field once.
Is there a way we could make him some sort of grad assistant recruiter? There’s no better story in college football to sell top recruits on NOT going to the Alabamas of the world. “Think about it kid, stars don’t mean s**t. You go to Alabama, you’re just another number where Saban and will chew you up and spit you out. You go to Utah, you have the chance to EARN your playing time and be a part of something special. I didn’t play at either place, but at least I had a family at Utah.”
