Alabama will be looking for all the help it can get in the secondary this fall, and one of the players the Crimson Tide were hoping could help won't be able to.

Junior college signee DeQuan Menzie ruptured his Achilles tendon while playing pickup basketball earlier this week and expects to redshirt during the 2010 season. He underwent surgery Thursday, and his recovery could take up to six months.

Having lost so many players in the secondary, Alabama signed Menzie with the thought he would be able to come in and play right away.

But with Menzie sidelined and junior safety Robby Green's eligibility for the upcoming season in question, Alabama's secondary for the 2010 season will easily be the most unproven unit on the team.

and the LSU transfer will end up being all-world. It's just another year of business as usual at Alabama.

They have 3 five-stars at corner in Scott, Milliner, and Kirkpatrick. Not to mention Phelon Jones, who was the Alabama player of the year in high school and a top 50 national recruit himself. I think they might be able to find a few guys that can play out of that group, since Saban develops players better than anyone.

Precisely. The rumors of their demise have been greatly exagerated.
