Very true.

Either they see something really special here........

or they've made an egregious error in judgement.

He's got some real potential, but his judgment is dog shit from what I can tell.  

They must see his talent.... cause the rest doesn't look so hot.

He was stoked, no doubt.

Burton has two major incidents that have become public knowledge; his frequent transfers and his assault of a female Tennessee fan. Both are mired in controversy and hearsay, so here are the facts.

Burton has transferred to six different schools in the past eight years. The reason for these transfers is unknown, however, his official statements have never indicated that these were for disciplinary reasons. His transfer from Georgia seemingly came out of nowhere, especially considering he was already a starter in his freshman year.

The incident in Tennessee occurred after the Crimson Tide lost to the Volunteers 52-49 on October 15th, 2022. After the loss, Tennessee fans stormed the field, a woman ran in front of Burton, and he could be seen punching her in the face. One week later, Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban stated that Burton would not be facing any punishment because Burton felt "scared" when being approached by the fan.

"Scared" by a coed underclassmen?

I didn't see the selection but I have read that Saban wasn't excited about this pick, either. After a brief pause, he said Burton was "emotionally immature" and seemed pretty flat about him being selected. This is secondhand information, so take it for what it is worth. Maybe someone else saw him comment on Burton and can confirm or deny. 

That's interesting. At least he's admitting it. That presser on your vid just gave me a chuckle though after what he said about Mims.
