I’d like to share with you what you may anticipate from this program as a player and as a parent or loved one, having grown stronger and wiser as a result of being on this trip. This school will undoubtedly extend the red carpet for you, but you must exercise great caution to ensure that it does not lead you straight into a ditch.

After that, Joshua’s mother criticized the program’s handling of injuries, using Tua Tagovailoa as an example.

Regarding this program, I think it puts the players’ bodies and brains at far too great of a danger. Think back to how Nick Saban handled the extremely wounded Tua Tagovailoa in the previous season. By starting this young kid in the game after he hobbled off the field against LSU just one week prior, Coach Saban showed a lack of discretion and judgment. Tua was used in the very following game, despite obviously lacking the agility and dexterity to successfully evade defenders, and the result was that he was carted off the field with a dislocated hip. His season has terminated rather than giving him the time he needs to recover and get ready for the next NFL combine, as was reportedly his intention.
