Blake sims bama

The 6'1, pound athlete out of Gainesville, Georgia plays quarterback in high school, but projects at a different position on the collegiate level. He wants to play wide receiver -- though he clearly has the athletic ability to play defensive back as well -- and while the Alabama coaching staff was going to allow him to do that, Sims became concerned over the logjam of young talent that we have at the position 'Bama signed four wide receivers last year, and looks to sign at least that many this year.

Long story short, he was concerned that he would end up at defensive back at Alabama if he indeed signed with the Tide, and after an in-home visit from Lane Kiffin, Sims decided to renege on Nick Saban and company. Nick Saban, however, didn't stop recruiting him at that point, unlike what he has done with several other highly-touted de-commitments in the past. Saban wanted him to come to Tuscaloosa for his official visit, and then discuss between the two whatever issues concerned Sims.

Sims agreed to do that, and when Lane Kiffin bolted for LA the decision became an easy one. Sims re-committed to the Tide today at the close of his official visit to the Capstone after he and Saban ironed out his concerns. One, Sims wears the number two at Gainesville High, and has previously expressed a desire to wear that number at the next level.
