Alfy Hill Enrolls at Itawamba Community College

PrintPer Izzy Gould, Alfy Hill has enrolled at Itawamba Community College in Fulton, Mississippi:
Former Alabama signee Alfy Hill will enroll at Itawamba Community College in January, and remains a Crimson Tide recruiting target for a possible return for the 2012 season.
Alabama assistant Sal Sunseri spoke with Hill's former high school coach, West Brunswick (N.C.) coach Jimmy Fletcher, this week.
Most 'Bama fans will probably be well aware of Itawamba. It's right near the Alabama state line in northeast Mississippi, and several Alabama players have came out of Itawamba over the years, including most recently Nikita Stover.
On Hill's end, this one seems pretty obvious, he's wanting to come back to 'Bama. Itawamba is only a little over 100 miles from Tuscaloosa, and it's an 11-hour drive from his hometown of Shallotte, North Carolina to Fulton, MS. Why in the world would Hill enroll there of all places? The answer seems obvious.
Even the principals involved here aren't denying the obvious. According to Chase Goodbread, Hill's new coach at Itawamba, Jon Williams, had the following to say:
"Basically, if Alabama wants him back, obviously they’ll get first dibs at him. Truthfully, I’ve had more discussion with Alfy and his high school coach than I have with anyone from coach (Nick) Saban’s staff," said Williams. "But I’m pretty certain he has intentions of making it back to Tuscaloosa. If that’s the case, he’s not recruitable by anyone else."
No real need in analyzing this one here. Obviously 'Bama wants Alfy Hill, and Alfy Hill wants to be at 'Bama. His deal would basically be just like every other JUCO player we place. If he graduates in a year and a half from JUCO and can enroll at 'Bama early in January of 2012, we'll take him and he'll have a scholarship. If not, he'll go somewhere else. It all boils down to what he does in the classroom.

Somebody post the pic that makes Upshaw look like a little kid.
I expected Hill to play as a true freshman.
Yeah, was looking forward to Hill contributing soon, too.
Make the grades and come on back home, Alfy.
Littlest son (miracle boy preemie) had started last spring saying what sounded like “ALFIEEEE!” and none of us could decipher it — “help me”? It seemed to connect to nothing at all.
Here you go:

Since he's already been here for an entire summer and fall practice
Do you think he might get a pass on the standard JuCo expectation to enroll in January? An exception was made for Menzie this year because of the extreme need at DB, and I think the fact that Hill has already had exposure to the schemes, the coaches, and just the way we do things in general may get him back in ’12 even if it turns out to be summer instead of January.
Of course, the coaches would obviously prefer him to be here in the Spring and will push him to do so, but if it works out to be summer instead I bet he still ends up in Tuscaloosa.
I hope he gets back to T Town...
we could use him!
Since we’re on the CC to Bama topic, did anyone ever know what happened to former Alabama commit DeVonta Bolton who ended up attending East Mississippi JC? I know he never made it to Bama, just wondering where he might have ended up…if anywhere..
I still can't believe how badly
Alfy got screwed by the NCAA Clearing House in this whole mess.
Now he has to attend a Mississippi Junior “College” which could be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
Well let me just quote the late-great Colonel Sanders, who said..."I'm too drunk to taste this chicken."
Appreciate that much
as someone that graduates from a Mississippi Community “College” because they ae cheap and one of the only 50 some odd schools that have my major. Thanks for being a dick.
Stupid Llamas!.

Case in point.
as someone that graduates from a Mississippi Community "College"
Enlighten me. Are you perpetually graduating? Perhaps you intended to say you graduated or will be graduating? Either way thanks for displaying a weak grasp on basic english concepts while whining about someone criticizing the quality of your education.

Oops, I'm sorry.

You try going days without sleep
between school during the days and picking up bodies and embalming at night and see if your thoughts always match what you type. Once again thanks for being a jackass.

Since the head of my department had Blake Sims
as a student this past summer, why don’t you go call him a dumbass too?

So enrolling at ECU effectively doesn't have any impact on his eligibility?
(The same as if he’d just gone juco to begin with?) He’ll hopefully enroll in spring of 2012 with 3 years to play 2? Or will he be able to use a RS year at juco and have 3 years to play 3??

Awesome news. I was pretty pissed about this whole deal before.
Bama's Pluck and Grit have Writ Her Name in Crimson Flame

Was about half recovered from post-Iron Bowl nausea until I read this
You completely nailed it, Bammer. But now I’m just back to full blown ill.
Blessed are the cheesemakers
We didn't lose that game because they have Cam Newton.

Yeah, I wish we could've just said, "Nah, NCAA, I think we're going to go ahead and play him anyway."
(As long as we were later proven right, of course.)

You are right we should of just played
Hill, we sure could have used him.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
At 6'4 260 lbs Hill is the same size as Rolando
I think it’s important to have someone his size at linebacker for run support. I also think CJ Mosely will explode this offseason when he hits the weights. I’m looking for greatness out of him.
Hold my beer and watch this.
I agree on CJ anyone who
plays as a true freshman for Saban has to be a Heady kid. He reminds me of a smaller Ro who showed promise as a Freshman but really made a huge leap over the next two years.

This is just weird to me
He did get screwed but the was gonna play at ECU, which I didn’t understand because if he is as into Bama as it sounds like he is now why not go straight to CC or retake a summer class or anything to become eligible. Did he or his Dad not say at the time that he wanted to be closer to home. So I wonder what changed? Like CarrotTop asked what kind of effect does all this moving around have on his eligibility?
anybody heard about the rb from Georgia and the d end from South Carolina and what's their plans?
