Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Jarrett Bell, 2018 4* OL, Norco (HS), CA - Bama Decommit.
So, this kid was dropped by Bama after having been committed to them for some time. As that is, I think there are a few teams interested in him and it appears we are one (Biggins has reported this).
I'm not super sure we will offer him, but it's something to keep an eye on in January.
Here's his senior hudl:

I think it would be mostly a positive move to get him, but I'm not enthralled or anything. I think he's a tick below everyone we've got, but he could be G insurance in case Ale can't learn to play football.

He's probably going to UCLA though. He's perfect for Chip's offense as well as his roster racial profile.
I'll rephrase: This kid would make much better pulling guard than Curne. And probably a better stretch play guy as well. And I kind of have a bias for those things.
However, I think it's interesting that Huff is interested. It tells you something about what we're looking for. I suppose the one thing I would say is that I bet he is smaller than listed.
I don't exactly know what to make of the fact that Bama offered him initially - that could be a sign that they have some special understanding of how good he is - then they just got other guys who were better...
Or, it could just mean they shotgunned out offers and backed off once they did scouting.
I still can't believe they took Tommy Brown. That kid fucking sucks.
Their best recent NFL guy has been the center Kelly, who is smaller and quicker than what they usually recruit. Their best NFL OL in the last decade is Mathis, who is also the type of fast smaller guy they usually don't recruit. This guy is small and quick, to the point where he might have been a center only at Bama. Tommy Brown isn't good, but he fits that huge "looks terrifying coming out of the tunnel" type of guy that they usually have.
I don't know why they favor big fatties so much. It might be philosophy of physicality and having guy who can punch you in the mouth type of thing. It's not really congruent with the offense they run, but it doesn't really matter because they're usually so talented and a lot of those giant lard-cakes are quick for the college-level anyway.
I think they dropped him because he's small and they think they can land someone they like better. Likely they saw his as a center only and like Ekiyor better there. Which they should, because Ekiyor is fucking amazing. Plus they have a legit chance of getting both Petit-Frere and Sewell.
If it's your own scrote pics just DM them to @AjitPaiFCC along with instructions on how to fuck yourself to death with a belt sander.
