Alabama targets 2017 Kentucky QB commitment
Typically speaking, Nick Saban gets what Nick Saban wants.
And that’s exactly what should be troubling for Kentucky football fans and coaches alike.
Mac Jones, a three-star pro-style QB from Jacksonville, Fla., has been committed to play for Kentucky since July.
On Sunday morning, he announced that he has received an offer from the Crimson Tide:

While that news in itself isn’t damaging to Mark Stoops’ squad’s chances of retaining the commitment, it does signify that Jones is going to continue to be a highly sought-after prospect in the 2017 recruiting class.
Alabama is the second SEC school to offer Jones, who also has offers from Arizona State, West Virginia and Illinois, among others.
