I watch for Nolan in games. He is a smart player with an instinct for the ball. So glad he will be back next year!

I remember Dabo’s comment about him...
Oct 3, 2019, 10:05 AM
|
|
At the Recruiting Roundup in 2016. Dabo knew that some were questioning the signing. He said” Nolan will be good as anyone we have before he leaves.” Prophetic as usual.

There were "people" on here who criticized Dabo for giving Turner a scholarship, and some where very negative. I'm sure none of them will admit it now.

Some criticized Dabo for offering Adam Humphries as well. We need a Grishom, Brown, Humprhies, Renfrew clone for this team or a TE or RB to step into the role of catching the 3rd down pass and getting to the line of gain!
I remember the criticisms but I did not take names.... It was not me. I love a 2/3 star that becomes a 6 star for their 5th year. I am not opposed to offering 5* and getting 3 years either but if you only have those it is hard to maintain the consistency and the culture and the team leadership.
We are where we are because of the 5* and the 5th year players on the roster both are crucial to our success.

Since he was knew Nolan's dad (and in fact played with him at Bama IIRC). Dabo is proven right yet again. If he wanted to do a favor, he might have offered a preferred walk on slot. Our staff doesn't waste scholarships and offers for scholarships unless they truly see value in the player.

He was really instrumental in the game against Bama last year. Even when he wasn't getting the tackle, he was right there to make the tackle. Watch the Clelin Tackle of Tua on the goal line last year. Nolan was there to ensure he wouldn't be scoring. The kid has a knack for finding the ball. he's going to be a big time player next year when all the other DB's leave for the NFL or graduate.

I was so down on him when he took that stiff arm and gave up that big play. Then he went on to have an amazing game. He now plays great every game. He is a stud. He will play on Sundays. He will just get better and better.

I’ll be the first to admit that I questioned his scholarship. While I never posted anything negative, I certainly had some negative thoughts. Boy was I wrong & once again there’s a reason why I’m not getting paid the money to coach & recruit. All props to Dabo!

Nolan Turner would never see the field for any SEC team for one reason and one reason only, he's white. He's a good player and coaches and fans are reverse racists these days. It's a real shame. Some white guys can play.
