As much as I want to say #2 because I think RF would be so fun to watch I have to with #1. RK plays at a premium position of need.

I am going against the grain and picking #1.
Name the last Alabama player to record 12 or more QB Sacks in a season. Nkemdiche is capable of 15+ per season.

I'm going Derrick Thomas. Can't ever go wrong picking him for any sack question... Probably someone else has done it since him, but that's the name I'm sticking with.

Deuces.
They'll both be superstars with descent coaching but Nkemdieche, like Clowney, seems determined to play in a certain type of defense. He also brings a terrible amount of drama like turning his college of choice into Greyson Prep University.
I think Foster is having fun but he's always said he was Roll Tide in interviews. His speed and ability to get in the backfield in a Saban/Smart will make him a lot of fans and shortly thereafter a lot of money.
You'll never achieve great things until you believe that's what's supposed to happen

#2 for two reasons...
1. I want RF
2. RN would be at Clemson and not another SEC school (like RF probably would).

Thomas is the answer. 1988. 27.
Next is Copeland and Curry with 10.5 each in 1992.
Alabama hasn't had anyone even close to Thomas, but Nkemdiche has that kind of elite athletic ability.

We don't need a DL to get sacks. We need a DL to hold point and let the LBs go to work.

You could give many, many reasons for not wanting Nkemdiche, but this one is doesn't really make sense. What do Defensive Linemen have to do with this?
You don't think Nkemdiche could be a bigger, stronger, faster Courtney Upshaw? It is like people think Alabama will play the guy at Nose Guard.
Do you know why Damion Square doesn't get more sacks?

#2.
RN is already getting the super-star treatment from clemson. Plus, I don't think either Coach Saban nor Coach Smart would be partial to the sort of advice that RN will be giving dabo on who to play and when they play.
Of course, I would love to have both. But definitely #2

How do we know this would go on? What makes everyone think RN told him all this stuff? What if Dabo knew his Head coach and he told him that his odds of getting him would be way better if he offered his friends and which ones to offer? Why is RN a bad guy in this? I AM sorry but i don't understand.

There have been a few extremely special players to play at Alabama in my lifetime.
David Palmer was one of those guys. Every time he would have the ball in his hands, you almost expected him to take it the distance. The excitement in the crowd was palpable on every single kick return.
Derrick Thomas was another. You almost expected him to get the QB. And when he didn't, you knew he could do it the very next snap.
Nkemdiche could be that kind of guy on Defense.
To me, the answer is easy...assuming his head is in the right place.

People are ripping RN for things that RF could also be guilty of. It isn't like RF is the firmest of commitments.

The Jack position plays with their hand in the dirt 80+% of the time and acts more like a DL than a LB. RN wants to play with his hand in the dirt. In our system he will be asked to do the same things all of our DL are asked to do but with the exceptions that are unique to the Jack position.
God, give me patience today. If given strength I may beat someone to death.
