Oliver: Lottery bill has better chance to pass

By JIMMY WIGFIELD Managing Editor

A lottery bill will emerge from the Alabama Legislature this year and it has a realistic chance of being approved by voters statewide, Rep. Ed Oliver (R-Dadeville) said. “I think it has more of a chance to pass now than it did before,� Oliver said of the public pulse. “I am not pro-

gambling but there’s too much money at stake not to offer it.�

Alabama is one of five states — Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah are the others — without a state lottery; millions of dollars flow from the Heart of Dixie to lotteries in neighboring Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida.

The Alabama Legislature is considering two lottery proposals, including one

by Sen. Greg Albritton (R-Atmore) that is scheduled for a vote in the Senate Tourism and Marketing Committee Tuesday. It would limit a lottery to paper tickets.

A second bill written by Sen. Jim McClendon (R-Springville) would also allow electronic games at state dog tracks. “The bill from Sen. McClendon is an all-encompassing gambling act estab-

Alexander City Mayor Jim Nabors was released from UAB Hospital Saturday afternoon and is recuperating at home after suffering a fall at his home Wednesday.

Nabors, 76, said in a text message he was glad to be home and thankful for a multitude of good wishes from Alexander City residents.

There is no timetable for his return to duties but Nabors had been scheduled to have rotator cuff surgery Monday before he was hospitalized.

Recovery from rotator cuff surgery often takes several months and gradually reduces the pain.

The next meeting of the Alexander City City Council is scheduled for May 13. If needed, council president Tommy Spraggins can serve as the interim mayor until Nabors returns.

Nabors, the former chief financial officer of Russell Corp., was elected in 2016 with 73 percent of the vote in a runoff against then-incumbent Charles Shaw.

Loan for municipal complex officially closes

By JIMMY WIGFIELD Managing Editor

The City of Alexander City officially closed Monday on its $9.11 million loan from Valley Bank for a new municipal complex and property near U.S. Highway 280. “The closing is complete,� city finance director Sandy Stanbrough said. “Now that’s behind us and we’ve got the next set of to do’s.�

The city council voted in January to purchase the former Russell Corp. Sales Office, the former Russell Guest House and 56 acres of property, including frontage on Highway 280, for $2.55 million.

It has allotted $6.5 million in renovations for the 85,000-square foot sales office to convert it into a new city hall which will consolidate all departments.

The city’s light and public works departments have begun cleaning the property immediately surrounding the See LOAN • Page 9

DEAR ABBY: I am a woman who has re-entered the dating pool after a few years of being single. I have gone on some amazing dates with fabulous men.

I met someone online last summer. “Miles” had a similar story -- long, bad marriage and now living life to the fullest. I adore his personality (and looks), but I have never met him in person. We talk often, sharing dating stories and everything else, knowing it won’t go anywhere as he lives 1,000 miles away. We have developed a strong emotional bond and have become great friends.

My emotions have now moved past friendship. I believe Miles can sense it because he has pulled back a little. I know realistically it won’t work due to the distance. My kids are still in school, and I’d feel guilty asking him to move away from his business, kids (grown), parents, family, etc.

Should I quit talking to him altogether, because apparently I can’t keep it where it has been

forward and be more receptive to the “great men” in your own area who are available.

DEAR ABBY Advice for the last several months? We agree that we “met” for a reason, and only time will tell what that reason is or if it goes anywhere.

I’m heartbroken and emotionally unavailable to the great men around me. My heart is with Miles. Advice? -- SMITTEN IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR SMITTEN: You and Miles may have met for a reason, but there’s also a reason why the two of you haven’t met in person in nearly a year. The fact that his reaction to the idea that you might be getting serious about him is to pull back makes me wonder whether you may have jumped the gun. Before allowing yourself to fall further in love, you have some work to do to get your emotions back under control so you can move

DEAR ABBY: My mom is 82 and suffering from dementia. I have called her every Sunday since I left home for college in 1990. We used to talk for an hour, sharing what had happened to us since we last spoke.

Abby, I loved those calls, which allowed me to stay close to my mom despite the distance.

Now I can barely manage five or 10 minutes. It’s basically just me telling her things about my week.

She still remembers me, but she doesn’t talk much.

I have started to skip our weekly calls because they are very painful to me. Dad says Mom misses my calls, but I know that’s not true. I know I should call her -- even if she doesn’t remember I did -- but it hurts so much. Do you have any advice on how to deal with this? -- HER SON IN AUSTIN, TEXAS DEAR SON: You are a good son, and a fortunate one to have had such a close and lov-

ing relationship with your mom.

Dementia is a terrible disease, one that steals not only memories but the ability to communicate. If you think you are feeling bad or guilty now, imagine how you will feel when she passes away and you are left knowing you didn’t do the things you could to lift her spirits.

Please don’t skip those calls.

They may no longer last an hour, but your father has told you she is aware of their absence.

Believe him. Tell her the good things that are happening in your life. Tell her jokes that will make her laugh. If her disease is as advanced as you say, you can tell them repeatedly and she won’t know the difference.

The sound of your voice is what counts, and the words, “I love you, Mom.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Lottery the state but aren’t subject to Alabama law banning gambling because they are a federally recognized sovereign nation. “(The Poarch Creek Indians) are doing very well with bingo and the State of Alabama should be capturing a piece of that, whether it’s with a pact with (the Poarch Creek Indians) or with direct competition,” Oliver said.

Estimates vary on how much a lottery would provide the state but former Rep. Mark Tuggle of Alexander City, who is now the chief of staff for House Speaker Mac McCutcheon, said in December the best estimate he’s seen is $200 million to $300 million net annually.

McClendon, who sponsored a lottery bill in 2016, wants Alabama residents to have a chance to play at home instead of going out of state but recently said it won’t provide enough money for the state budget.

“My motivation is not to solve fiscal problems in Alabama,” McClendon told The Montgomery Advertiser. “There’s not enough money in the universe.”

Oliver said he wants

continued from Page 1 to see half the proceeds go to the Education Trust Fund and half go to the General Fund.

Oliver said the legislature’s desire to maintain strict accountability and the effectiveness of committees in shaping successful proposals will boost the lottery’s chances of passing a statewide referendum. The last one failed in 1999.

“It’s a constitutional amendment and if people decide they want it they’ll vote for it,” he said. “If not, they won’t.

The oversight is one reason people will vote for it because of how the money gets used. One of the best things about the gas tax is a joint task force on budgeting will account for every single penny. Ninety-three percent of the General Fund is earmarked and while it keeps the legislature from stealing it, a lot of money goes to agencies in the most impractical way. It keeps us from writing a budget for each agency and the legislature should be writing a budget.

“The (legislature’s) committees work very, very well. Anything that comes out of committee will probably pass the floor.”

Gov. Kay Ivey is on record saying she wants the public to have a chance to vote on a lottery. The state constitution, which bans gambling, must be amended and McClendon said his lottery proposal would include a statewide referendum during the March 2020 presidential primary.

Rep. Ed Oliver (RDadeville, above left, believes the lottery has a better chance of passing now than it did in the past. Alabama is one of five states — Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah are the others — without a state lottery.

The

Open-door policy of a different kind

Move over for E first responders aw enforcement and firefighters have a tough enough job as it is.

Who wants to approach vehicles on the side of the road not knowing if occupants are up to something ill and have to worry about being struck by a vehicle coming from behind them? Who wants to help those involved in an accident and have to worry about working as traffic as screams by at 70 mph?

Nobody does.

It only makes sense when you see those flashing blue, red or yellow lights to slow down and get over. All 50 states have “Move Over” laws requiring drivers to change lanes or significantly slow down.

The “Move Over” law is for good reason. It is not there just so another citation can be written.

They are there to protect those protecting us.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 135 law enforcement officers lost their lives in the line of duty last year. Of those 53 were killed in traffic-related incidents and 15 were killed while outside their vehicles. Prior to 2016, traffic-related incidents were the No. 1 cause of death for law enforcement officers for 15 of the last 20 years.

The crashes are preventable.

It requires us to be aware, move over and give first responders the space they need to make it home to their loved ones at the end of the shift.

Being aware is key. We have to put down the phones and watch where we are going while driving. We have to be aware of possible hazards to keep ourselves and passengers safe while driving. We must also be aware of blue, red or yellow flashing lights signaling first responders are dealing with a situation on the roadside.

When we see those lights, move over and everyone sees their family again.

veryone loves an open-door policy.

But recently I saw a different take on the phrase.

Sitting at a red light in traffic, a young couple walked across in front of my car. Holding hands, they stepped into the parking lot. It was then I saw a different open-door policy play out.

Instead of each walking to their respective doors, he walked with the young woman around the front of the car and around her door. Reaching down, he opened the door wide and stepped aside for her to get in. And only when he was sure she was comfortably settled in did he close the door. He then walked back around the car and got in.å To some this 15 seconds of life might not seem particularly noteworthy. But I can assure you there are plenty of us out there who are seeing less and less of what we once considered common courtesy.

This is not about gender but rather respect.

My wife and I have a son and a daughter. And for our entire lives, we’ve encouraged them to treat each other with respect based on reverence instead

LEONARD WOOLSEY Columnist of perceived weakness or thinking less of the other.

Chromosomes are never an excuse to treat another with anything other than the utmost respect or extending opportunities.

The best thing about raising both a son and daughter was the opportunity to teach through example. And we believe teaching respect should begin at home — giving our children a front-row seat to what we hoped they would one day carry forward. And in our house, even the simple act of passing the scalloped potatoes was to include a please and thank you.

As kids, they plain wore out the words thank you and please. When particularly young we even ignored requests without the critical word. We hoped doing so would painlessly allow them to become adults who never found themselves having to remember to practice the basics tenants of

respectful manners in any given situation.

I have always opened the door for my wife beginning on our first date. Not because she couldn’t do it herself or I felt like as the male it was my job to open a door for her but because I never wanted to miss an opportunity to show her how much I valued and respected her in my life. This is not about gender but me wanting her to know how lucky I feel she is letting me be a part of her universe. Being with her made me happy and a better person. Why wouldn’t I do everything I could to let her know?

This young couple reminded me of the journey. Our kids are both now adults and I can say each understands the value of treating others with respect.

And the lessons must have taken root as my daughter once stood next to the car door while on a date and told the former boyfriend, “This door isn’t going to open itself.”

www.alexcityoutlook.com

Dear Editor, Yes, Highway 280 is dangerous in Alex City, especially by Walmart and Wells Fargo where cars don’t slow down nor stop at the lights. Semis blow through the lights like they are not there. The city needs to install red-light

cameras and start ticketing people who go through the light. Tickets should start at $100 and if not paid within 30 days go up to $200.

If the ticket is not paid and the driver gets three red-light tickets for speeding and running a red light, it should then be sent to the (Department of Motor

Vehicles) and the license should be suspended for one year.

If people know what the consequences are — paying a big fine or losing their license for a year — they may slow down.

EXTREME WEATHER: TORNADOES!

Springtime in the United States is the most-active time for tornadoes. A tornado is a column of air that rotates violently, stretching down from a thunderstorm to the ground.

When hot air masses slide over the top of cold air masses, the atmosphere becomes unstable. The changes in the tempera¬ture, wind direction and speed cause a swirling of winds. When the conditions are right for a tornado, these swirls are pushed up farther into the atmosphere causing the swirling winds to go from horizontal to vertical. This vertical storm is a tornado. The winds they produce can spin at speeds up to 300 miles per hour, and they can travel as fast as 200 miles per hour. Their paths of destruction can go on for miles and miles. Waterspouts are tornadoes that have formed over a body of water. A tornado can begin as a transparent storm; the debris and dirt they pick up is what gives them their dark coloration. The area in the United States known as Tornado Alley sees most of these storms, although a tornado can occur anywhere and at any time of Using the numbers 1-6, complete the puzzle below. You the year if the right conditions are present. The states of the Great Plains, mainly Texas, are to have one of each number (1-6) in each vertical and Oklahoma, Kan¬sas, and Nebraska, are the main areas of Tornado Alley. Tornadoes do horizontal row, as well as only one of each of the numbers occur in other parts of the World, such as Canada and Europe, but are most common in the United States. With the right weather conditions, a tornado can occur anywhere. A 1-6 in each of the six bold box areas. tornado’s intensity is rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale, ranging from the weakest EF0 40 to 72 miles per hour to the largest EF5 storm at 260 miles per hour and up. If a tor5 2 6 at nado watch is issued, it means that the condi¬tions are perfect for a tornado to develop, you should use caution. If a tornado warning is issued, it means that a tornado has 4 3 and been spotted, and you should seek shelter immediately, underground if possible!

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you’re feeling inclined to take a risk, investigate the ramiÄcations with care. The daylight hours favor good choices, whereas later you will be more restrained. A boss or older relative demonstrates his or her caring. You might want to mull over a decision. Tonight: Could go to the wee hours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) One-on-one relating appears to be favored during the day. Your message carries generosity of spirit. You could decide to move in a new direction. Understand what is happening around you. Be more forthright in your actions. Tonight: Seek out professional advice or call an insightful friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Defer to others, yet express your feelings. Carefully examine an oɈer that appears too good to be true. It probably is. The person oɈering this proposition might not understand its liabilities. Ask questions. Avoid an argument. Tonight: Say “yes� to a close friend’s invitation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might feel entrenched in what is happening around you. Consider your options more carefully than in the recent past. Don’t automatically shut down and say a situation is impossible. Explore other approaches.

Tonight: Brainstorm with your best friend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Creativity rarely is lacking in your life, but today your imagination has an extra, delightful push. Coming to terms with what is happening will ultimately serve you. Do not undermine yourself when making an important decision. Tonight: Go for a health night.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your desirability and energy enmesh, yet it might not be appropriate for a work-related matter. Emphasis is on home and family. You might not know what is happening behind the scenes. A surprising call or letter could encourage taking time to

evaluate. Tonight: Reach out to a loved one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be at odds with a child or loved one. You might want to take the time over lunch to have a discussion with this person. Reaching out will be the Ă„rst step toward making peace. You could be exhausted by others. Tonight: Head home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have the ability to make a diɈerence no matter your choices or what you are doing. Investigate new possibilities for staying open. Check out a Ă„nancial matter with care. You have more options than you think.

Tonight: Veg with a friend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Use the daylight hours to realize a whimsical thought or bring about a much-desired happening. You beam while doing nothing. At the same time, you draw quite a few admirers.

Whatever your objectives are, you are likely to fulÄll them during the day. Tonight: Make it your treat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Expect to do some hard thinking about a key issue or decision. You might want to get feedback from several friends and associates.

Understand what is happening within a closed circle of friends.

Some information needs to be kept hush-hush. Tonight: Put your best foot forward.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Friendship means a lot to you. A close associate touches you with the depth of his or her feelings.

You might be speechless, which is unusual for you! Stay sensitive to this person, no matter how you feel -- it took courage to open up! Tonight: Make it personal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) There is a strange connection between you and someone you associate with nearly every day. You might wonder about it. You probably cannot change it, so accept it and you will be a lot happier. A meeting toward the end of the day is important. Tonight: Where the action is.

building.

Meanwhile, project architect JMR+H is developing the design of the renovated building which will get a new roof and HVAC system.

The city council approved the transfer of $2.55 million from the electric fund to the general fund to buy the property earlier this month and the council approved the financing terms last week, which include making interest-only payments the first year beginning June 1 then principal-and-interest payments of $49,396.22 monthly beginning June 1, 2020. Those figures are based on 2.71-percent interest on an amortized schedule of 20 years and the loan will be refinanced every five years, according to Mayor Jim Nabors.

Stanbrough said the city has drawn out $2.55 million from the loan to reimburse the electric fund and those payments will be under $30,000 monthly for the final four months of the 2019 fiscal year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The payments going forward will depend on what we draw from the loan,â&#x20AC;?

Stanbrough said.

Stanbrough said she regretted Nabors was unable to attend the closing Monday because he is recuperating at home after being released from the hospital.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had the vision for this,â&#x20AC;?

Stanbrough said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and that includes the financing part of the vision. He considered the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt service from the beginning.â&#x20AC;?

By the time the city presented its plans to the public in December 2018, Nabors had led an effort to reorganize the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances and take out the $9.11 million loan without increasing its debt service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the time of the presentation, we already had enough detail in the financing opportunity and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten better by patiently waiting,â&#x20AC;? Stanbrough said.

She said Nabors, the former chief financial officer of Russell Corp., continually monitored U.S. Treasury bond rates and finally locked in at 2.71 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that was one of the first things he did every morning,â&#x20AC;? Stanbrough said.

Bids on the project are scheduled to be let from June 20 to July 11. After a contractor is selected, a contract will be signed on Aug. 1, construction will begin Aug. 8 and the building should be ready in March 2020, according to JMR+H. At that time, all city departments will move in and the old courthouse and jail downtown will eventually be torn down.

File / The Outlook

Alexander City finance director Sandy Stanbrough said the city officially closed on its $9.11 million loan for the new municipal complex Monday as scheduled. The city will make interest-only payments of under $30,000 monthly for the remainder of the 2019 fiscal year and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exceed $30,000 monthly for the first year.

Benjamin Russell baseball players embrace each other after a first-round playoff win against Wetumpka on Saturday. The Wildcats won two games in a row after dropping Game 1 on Thursday afternoon.

etumpka was one out away from advancing to the Class 6A Round of 16 on Thursday night but Benjamin Russell fought back in dramatic fashion to force a decisive Game 3. After being rained out Friday, the Wildcats returned to Wetumpka on Saturday to grab an 8-4 victory after grabbing an early lead and riding Ryan Slaten’s strong start on the mound into the second round.

“We asked our kids to come play their best baseball,” Benjamin Russell coach Richy Brooks said. “We didn’t play perfect baseball but we came out here and got after it. We’re happy to be moving on.”

“I knew I had to come out and hold it down,” Slaten said. “On the bus ride down here, I was thinking about everything and what I needed to do for us to get a win. That got me a lot more relaxed.”

Dadeville’s Alex Walker (8) makes a grab at the fence against Montgomery Academy on Saturday.

For the second day in a row, Dadeville’s offense stalled, and it came at the worst time for the Tiger baseball squad.

Against Montgomery Academy in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs, Dadeville didn’t hit the ball well, managing only six hits in a decisive Game 3. But it was a pair of costly errors in the fourth inning turned out to be the nail in Dadeville’s coffin, as it fell to the Eagles, 3-0, bringing its season to a close.

“Really mental mistakes is what it was,” Dadeville coach Curtis Martin said.

“It was a big game with a lot of pressure, and I just hate it for these seniors because they’ve worked so hard. But we had those two errors, and

that was really the difference in the game. Instead of it still being 0-0, it was 3-0.”

Dadeville kept the Eagles off the board through the first three innings but couldn’t do the same in what ended up being the decisive fourth. Charlie Sipes led off Montgomery Academy with a single, and he was moved along by a sacrifice bunt.

The Eagles then scored their first run as Thomas Speaks reached on an error, giving Sipes time to score. Eric Doh then got on base via an unsuccessful fielder’s choice that left Speaks in scoring position.

No. 9-hitter Mac Martin took full advantage, smashing a double to left field and scoring two runs to give Montgomery Academy more than enough insurance.

Throughout the game, the Tigers tried to battle back, putting runners on in all but one inning. But their hits didn’t come at opportune times. It wasn’t until the sixth See TIGERS • Page 12

Wildcats The Wildcats added two more runs on a single by Ryan Willis and Slaten came to the mound for the first time with a four-run lead. Wetumpka pulled one back in the bottom of the inning with an RBI from Mason Elmore.

Neither team could add any runs across the next two innings but Benjamin Russell put the game away in the fourth inning. The Wildcats got a two-out, two-run double from Joe Young to extend the lead to 7-1 and take much of the life out of the home dugout.

“You have to tip your hat to Benjamin Russell,” Wetumpka coach Michael Dismukes said.

“They got those two-out hits, a lot with two strikes I think.

The team that played the best won today but we just didn’t play the best.”

Benjamin Russell scored seven of its eight runs in Game 3 with two outs. The Wildcats scored 13 two-out runs in the series.

“We emphasize that more than you know,” Brooks said.

“We really started to emphasize that in practice and it has

made a difference. The more you talk about it, the more it becomes important to them.”

Benjamin Russell added its final run in the fifth inning on a sacrifice fly by Wilson Hays. The Wildcats had 10 batters reach base by an error, hit by pitch or walk in the game and six of those 10 came around to score.

“It really caught up with us in the last eight innings of this thing,” Dismukes said.

“They did a good job of battling to get back in it but at the end of the day we have to make the plays and we couldn’t do that.”

Slaten pitched five innings for the win, allowing just four hits and one run while striking out five. Brett Pitts, who got the win in Game 2, closed out the final two innings, allowing three unearned runs but striking out three.

“We felt like we had more

in this year’s draft, Jacobs has shot up charts of all 32 NFL teams.

Most projections have the tough tailback being selected either late in the first round or early in the second.

Luckily for Jacobs, there are a lot of good teams picking late in the first and I can’t think of a better landing spot for him than the New England Patriots.

Jacobs is not the fastest back in the world, but he is incredibly versatile.

Jacobs would be the kind of weapon to make Tom Brady think about prolonging his career another 45, or even 17 years.

pitching than they did and I think it played out that way today,” Brooks said. “Ryan (Slaten) gave us about as much as he could give us.”

inning Dadeville got anything but a two-out hit.

“Their pitcher had a really good breaking ball; his fastball was low 80s (mph) and he was mixing it up,” Martin said. “The first time through the lineup, they had a firstpitch fastball then a curveball. Then the second time, it was a first-pitch curveball, so they had us mixed up and off balance the whole game.

That last inning, we tried to battle; we just couldn’t get it done.”

Slade McCullers looked to get things going in the sixth inning when the Tigers finally got a leadoff single. But the Eagles turned a double play and Britton Kohn struck out his ninth of the night to quickly end the threat.

In the end, Dadeville went down swinging. Alex Walker led off the bottom of the seventh with a single, and Cameron Tidwell was

hit by a pitch to put two on.

But after a pair of strikeouts, things didn’t look good for the Tigers. Jake Outlaw was hit by a pitch to load the bases, but Montgomery Academy induced a popup to end the game.

Despite the loss, first-year coach Martin led his Tigers to their first playoff appearance in three seasons and had them in the top 10 in Class 3A by the end of the regular season.

“We won a lot of big games, and we won a lot of games against Class 4, 5 and 6A schools,” he said.

“We battled, and I’m proud of these guys. I wish we could’ve went a little deeper, which I felt like we could have. But offensively, these last couple days, we really struggled. But overall, I thought we had a decent year; it just wasn’t the results we wanted.”

Three years ago when this Williams was signed by Alabama, I would have thought he’d be the highest player drafted from that recruiting class. I wasn’t very far off, but there have been a couple of knocks on the talented offensive lineman of late.

Still, Jonah Williams is set to make a bunch of money by being a first-round pick. Of all the various projections, I think the best spot for Williams is with the Carolina Panthers where he will be one of the main blockers for — ironically — Cam Newton.

Irv Smith. Jr. Smith is one of Nick Saban’s best evaluations of the last few years. He wasn’t highly regarded in high school, but he surely has the talent and mean streak to boot.

His best destination might be Green Bay where Aaron Rodgers would be smiling widely if Smith were to land there.

Damien Harris

Harris is ’Bama’s best ambassador.

He puts the “student” in “studentathlete.”

I would love for him to wind up playing for the Houston Texans, a team with an obvious need at running back.

Houston would be the perfect spot for him and a great story as well since the quarterback there is former Clemson star Deshaun Watson (who obviously is very familiar with Alabama players).

That locale is also a great place for Alabama to have a representative such as Harris because he will be well liked early in the Lone Star State.

There are several other Tide players who will hear their names called this weekend (like Deonte Thompson and Mack Wilson). I can’t wait to find out where they all land to begin the next chapters of their lives.
