[Bama Guy]

I guess it'll have to do.

 

[Bamabww]

Worries me a little that there are no defensive linemen listed yet.

Akial Byers DT 4*

But we also signed 5 in the last class if I remember correctly.

Worries me a little that there are no defensive linemen listed yet.

We are considered the favorite for 2-3 others, 4* Elijah Conliffe, 4* LaBryan Ray; Aubrey Solomon and Phidarian Mathis are two others that are high on Bama's list and are high on Bama. A couple of others to watch for are Marvin Wilson and Tyler Shelvin. These two guys are possibilities depending how things play out in Baton Rouge.

 

[#80]

I think we flip Robert Beal.

Najee Harris not solid?

I'm sure the coaches know how committed he is or isn't... signing day is a long way off, I wouldn't really consider anyone on the list 100% committed. It really is way too early to worry about a lot of that nonsense... however, I'd rather have him committed to us for now than trying to flip him from someone else... It'll all play out just fine no matter where he goes. I hope it's right here, but if he thinks it's better from him somewhere else, then so be it. I trust the process

Damn! I looked that list over more than once. Thanks.

 

[JoshB]

I dont think there's a chance in hell both those QBs end up coming (maybe neither).

We're still waiting on a handful of guys. We could end up better than any other class if we land a few that are favoring us. Sounds funny as we hear that just about every year, but we just continue to load up on talent.

I've read Michigan is the biggest threat, but everyone at Rivals, even the Michigan beat writer there is saying they expect him to sign with us.

Najee Harris is an early enrollee. He will be hard pressed to get 5 visits in by the time the dead period hits Dec. 12th. I think he just wants to keep some attention on himself because he knows it is over in January.

Four, with King coming in as JUCO. The staff missed on several with academics and the tire man creating a few waves. Realistically, the staff wanted at least two more on the defensive line.

Shelvin isn't one I've been paying attention that much to so I can't put in ¢.02 on him. Isaiah Buggs is one to watch along with Jarez Parks (not sure if we can label him as a DE or OLB.)

I forgot Buggs and like you, I wasn't sure on whether to list Parks as a Jack or as a DE.

Terry, has King played? What's going on with him?

Per this... Mother of No. 1 recruit Najee Harris responds to viral report

...sounds like just the opposite, sounds like he is tiring of all the recruiting sites bugging him.

 

[Destiny's Child]

I saw that article last night, a couple of days after my post. Glad someone posted it on here.
