Perfect example of why it isn't always best to go to best team in nation
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865668579/Former-Cottonwood-QB-Cooper-Bateman-will-transfer-from-Alabama.html
Bateman was considered one of best college QB of his recruiting class--hence Alabama's interest. Sure, he can say he was on a NC team, but only as a backup (now 3rd string). Now he is going to transfer to get one last chance to actually play/start. Somehow I believe that he would have done things a little differently if he had known he wasn't ever going to get starting job. I wonder how many top LDS recruits go to Alabama-like schools not knowing they will only be a backup. I know every school has to do the same thing for depth but not with that level of talent.

POLL: Would you rather Play for Alabama or an Oregon State/Texas Tech/Wazzu type (lightmann, Dec 9, 2016 at 10:57am)
Isn't this the same line of reasoning that would say its better to go MWC or ACC (Unibro, Dec 8, 2016 at 10:13pm)
Guess which school is the only college in the nation to have two NFL starting QB's right now... (Adrielle, Dec 8, 2016 at 2:06pm)
