To hwnstyl …. Alabama is by far a non racist program. Evidently you were unaware that we had three quarterbacks 2 who were white one who was black. The African American quarterback Jalen hurts, was better than the two Caucasian males. So who do you think got that start? The best quarterback #2 Jalen Hurts. I believe Tua will be just as good, if not a better passer. I have been watching his film since I had first heard his name. I am a Die Hard Alabama fan I watched my first national title in 92 I was only eight years old when I seen the Alabama Crimson Tide win the national title over the Miami Hurricanes which were highly favored and we were the underdog. God has a plan for Tua as He does for Jalen. I believe both of them will be great quarterbacks for Alabama. Nobody knows when somebody will get hurt when somebody is down and needs their brother to lift them up. He knows and can see that he’s going to a good school and God has laid it on his heart to go to the University of Alabama and for that I can respect a man. RTR!……..prayers for all of you my brothers. Tua we’ll see you next year brother roll tide!

As much as I want to support local talent, don’t get on the hype train Tua. If your goal is to make it to the NFL as a QB, then Alabama is not the right choice. I’d rather have you go to a school that does not have a QB where you can showcase your talent from the get go. If you have the grades, try Notre Dame or Stanford. You will have a better chance of starting. Additionally your college degree will be from a prestigious school.

Respect to the kid for his talents. I do not think Kiffin will be around come dec 15, he will be hired to coach against Saban somewhere(LSU?). Alabama is a racist State and a Racisit college, until Tua plays he will not be treated as a equal human being, I would never send my son to the south being of any color other than white. States on the West where minds are more open to all people of race. I was hoping to see you start for 3 years at UH and have your brother, redshirt, then start at UH for 3 years too.( both going pro early) Your family could have been so helpful to all the local kids for a decade more. Its not to late, tell UH if the hire JJ and promise you the job you will stay home where your community needs you. Best wishes to you where ever you go.

@EducationFirst. . . That was my whole thing when I first heard about Tua and Bama. . . Same goes for Oregon, so far Mariota has been the exception. . .

God has a plan for Tua, Tua has put it in Gods hand & is going to ride it out, Tua will be very successful wherever he goes. His faith runs deep. heʻs been on a mission, watch come Saturday night, Tua will be on a mission to pass the word of God, believe in God & he will answer. Come out to support the Crusader Nation, give Tua & the Saints the backing they need, Good Luck & God bless…. Crusader Strong…. Rollʻem St. Louis

Good luck to Tua but going to agree with others and say he’s going to the school that will not maximize his talents. There’s more concern for the coach who recruited him, Alabama’s OC, Lame Kitten. This guy has a history of sketchy promises and “oversigning” recruits then getting rid of them on false claims at SC & Tennessee. I agree with MP and say go to UW but that’s for selfish reasons. Again, much luck to Tua.
