Hodgson quote

[aggietider]

The article was about whether Saban even knows who he is. Hodgson said he was the lead recruiter for the two 2 sport guys. Maybe I’m reading this quote wrong? But he said he did that for two guys he won’t coach or ever see in Coleman? I agree with him but couldn’t believe he said it.
"I have done a little bit with recruiting with them this past year," Hodgson said. "They were able to get two big-time five-star, multi-sport athletes — basketball, football guys. And I was the lead recruiter on our side for those two guys. I will never, ever coach them or see them in Coleman Coliseum. But they were like the No. 1 defensive backs in the United States. I was doing Zooms and breaking down film with these guys that will never, ever play basketball again."

Uh oh, CBH may get called to the Principal's (CNS) office for a meet & greet

 

[Holt Ironman]

Oops...WTH was he thinking? 🤔

Pretty weird quote

 

[AirBoozehound]

If this is real BH sounds like a top notch idiot.

 

[Jordan Harper]

Lol if you only knew how he said it. He was being hyperbolic and saying that in a joking manner. Everyone knew, including the players, they wouldn’t play basketball much at all

Sometimes its better to shut your mouth than tell the truth......

Context matters, it's easy to read the quote and assume he is being bitter about it somehow, but without hearing him, I reframe from passing judgment. Also, he's right....

I’m not sure what context would change? He said these kids aren’t playing basketball for him. We all knew that. But he can’t say that. He just helped recruit them. These quotes can be used against him next time he’s recruiting a 2 sport athlete to Bama. I guarantee Saban would rip as asst for saying such.

I truly can't see anything earth shattering that he said, especially if he was just having fun with it.
Nothing to see here folks.

Explain to me the fun is in saying two kids you just recruited won’t ever play for you?

 

[ChingyFan24]

The joke is that these guys will be playing football well into January for the next 3 years at least. Of course they will not play basketball. Basketball camp starts in June.

I can see your point about future recruiting. But in reality, how many legit two-sport athletes do Bama end up recruiting. It's not something that happens very often, so it's not something that should be concerned about. There are at least 50 other things coaches use on recruits to negatively recruit against Bama.

If Bama is recruiting then to play two, it means they are elite. Saban isn’t playing that with just any recruit.

I know, my point is this kind of players that can legitimately play both sports comes very few and far between.

 

[BamaTank]

I know, my point is this kind of players that can legitimately play both sports comes very few and far between.

And pretty much never end up playing basketball at the Power 5 level.

 

[BoomsMD]

Coach Hodgson was speaking tongue-in-cheek. The man was being facetious because of the negative recruiting that went on with both players. Lighten up Francis!

You’re right about that. And we all knew they weren’t much of a threat to play much basketball. I’m not trying to make this a huge deal. Just saw the quote and thought it was odd. And nothing good could come from it.

It seems to me like he said it tongue n cheek because those kids are likely NFL bound.
if you don’t get it, sorry.

“I’m not trying to make this a huge deal.” LMAOOOOO that’s literally exactly what you’re doing.

You have to play in college for 3 years before the NFL.
