Bolden takes friends to Tuscaloosa

Slade Bolden, four-star athlete from West Monroe High School in Louisiana, has already taken an official visit to Alabama with his family. He returned to Alabama on Saturday for the blowout win against Arkansas with members of his football family.

"The trip was amazing," Bolden said. "Every time I make a trip there it's amazing. They always show great hospitality. They always treat us well. It's just always a great time. The only difference this time was the trip wasn't paid for.

"I took two of my buddies to the game with me. They are both senior wide receivers on our team. They had an amazing time. Probably my favorite part of the visit was them getting a chance to meet Coach Saban. I wanted them to take it all in. I am going to be going back, and I'll be a part of it in the future. I wanted them to see the reason I am going to Alabama. We all had a great time."

Bolden shared his thoughts about the Tide's offense with Coach Daboll leaving the charge as offensive coordinator.
