Breaking: Alabama football sign in a four-star CB player in a blockbuster deal.
Bama247 got in touch with his dad to get a detailed explanation of the decision-making procedure.
Chuck McDonald III was always considering Alabama as a college during his recruiting. To the extent that it seemed as though a commitment to the Crimson Tide may occur at any time, until Nick Saban’s retirement.
The four-star cornerback reevaluated his options and took a step back in his recruitment process, similar to many others. McDonald thought that Alabama was home, but there were just too many unknowns at the time, thus the victory for the Tide was almost lost. After a few months, it is simple to attribute the 6-foot-1, 190-pound player’s rapid comfort level in the DeBoer era to the apparently smooth transfer from Saban’s staff to Kalen DeBoer’s team.
When Bama247 got in touch with his father, Chuck McDonald II, he shared the last six months of his son’s recruiting, which saw Alabama almost lose out before making an easy choice in the end.
