[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 856187, member: 282"] Gibbs is a running back. He’ll get handoffs, he’ll get pitches, he’ll catch passes. He’s a Kamara-style player. At Alabama, he may not take all the snaps but I expect him to take about the same percentage there that he took here. He definitely had other offers. If he had any reason to believe he wouldn’t be a feature running back, he could have gone to any top 15 team he wanted. He could have gone up the road to Clemson. USC or Oregon would have taken him. Saban doesn’t want a disgruntled player taking up space on the 85 player roster. It is not in his interest to tell a player that he’s a RB if he’s going to use him in the slot. If I were Gibbs, I’d have asked any coach recruiting me if I was going to be at RB. If I were Saban, I’d tell a player the truth. A player who has been lied to isn’t going to give 100%, and Saban wants players giving 100%. Saban doesn’t need the portal for backups or for novelty players—he can get a 5* backup from high school. If he recruited Gibbs, it’s to play RB. Gibbs won’t be guaranteed the starting position, but I’m sure he got a clear assessment of where he would stand compared to other players. [/QUOTE]
