*** A quick note about Phillip Ely

We're being told by a couple of people close to the situation that quarterback Phillip Ely is set for spring practice, is enjoying his time with the Crimson Tide and isn't planning to transfer to another school much less South Florida.
So, in short, at least for now he's not going anywhere.

Probably a mistake for Ely in the long run...but at least he will get a good education!

These kinds of comments are incredibly disrespectful towards a kid who has committed his football carreer to the crimson tide.

Wait, so as a paying member of a site that focuses on discussion of Alabama football, I shouldn't express my opinion that, with the scholarship numbers crunch and his (unfortunate) lack of any real talent and/or ability to lead this team to championships, his scholarship might be better served going to a passed-on recruit that could help the team more?? Settle down, Francis.

You are free to express all kinds of dumb, misguided, and disrespectful opinions on this board. I, as a paying member, will feel free to call you on it.

Not sure if you are joking but you are not funny at all. Sound more or less like an auburn fan to me. If you enjoy TJ's ABS you need to go over to the butt hurta.

That makes zero sense. And I do enjoy TJ's abs, he's a fine specimen if you catch my drift.

Fair enough. Just don't understand why what I said was disrespectful. Barring a catastrophic string of injuries, he's never going to see any meaningful action. Both parties, Alabama and Ely, would be better served if he "moseyed on".

With all due respect ...... He is a valued member of the football team and CNS recruited him to be such realizing the good/bad with him potentially being a student/athlete for the next 4/5 years. IF CNS did not believe that ELY would be able to contribute both on/off the field the way he expects his players too for 4/5 years I would believe that he never would have received a scholarship to begin with. CHEERS!

Lack of any real talent?
Didn't know cns awarded scholarships to no talent hacks. What years did you "lead your team to championships". Rather have him on scholly representing the school I love to cheer for than the 4 that was just released.

I think it's simple if he has a shot to play he can stay, if he's third or fourth on the depth chart it would be great for him to transfer
No need to get too worked up over this, it's sports in a big time arena. Only in first grade does everybody get a trophy
