Delgatty was talked about earlier in this thread... need to get him too.

Read somewhere that he is on campus today!

Supposedly expected on campus tomorrow.

Quick Update on Portal:

Racin Delgatty arrived this morning for his visit, Bama is going to try to wrap this up before he leaves from what I can gather. I would expect a possible signing tomorrow. They really think he moves like Brailsford and has good football IQ. I already like him, I think he'll be a plug and play guy for the Center position.

Terrance Green is arriving tomorrow, similarly he had a visit scheduled for I think it was Nebraska? I can't remember, but he moved it to Sunday and is going to Bama first...similar to Delgatty, I think we'll be pushing to get this one in the rotation ASAP and try to shut down his other visits. He factors as an immediate rotational player.

McBroom - OT from ULM - Is still waiting on his medical redshirt clearance and because of that is now having to postpone his visit to Alabama until after the portal closes. It's quite possible it could be next week, we don't know depends on when he gets his clearance (HE is expected to clear and get it)

Damon Wilson and Seaton - Both are commanding too high a price tag, Bama has backed off those two as options. I want people to realize though, Bama does still call and ask about these things, we just don't like to get into Highest bidder approaches. It's not as if they're blind to these guys entering the portal and never tried.

TJ Dottery - He's being floated around so far, I believe we'll reach out to him and see what he's looking for but it is highly likely he's going to LSU...we'll just have to see if we can get a visit or not for him.

Ethan Fields - Similar to Dottery, we're working on a visit, but I also think this guy is going to LSU also...we shall see. Once again, these things change minute to minute and sometimes these guys are willing to listen to a counter-offer. Sometimes they have their mind made up before entering. If they don't enter with the "Do not contact tag" it is likely they're shopping around for a better offer elsewhere.

Southern Miss LB Chris Jones - I think he's definitely a piece we're very interested in and still working on getting him on campus. I'd say we've got a shot here...he decommitted from Ole Miss recently. They're trying to desperately reel him back in.

We're speaking with a few LB options and still looking for a possible final addition on the OL if we get Delgatty along with a Bandit option...I'm guessing we're expecting to get those guys scheduled for visits in the next few days or we have some eyes on some people from Miami/Indiana's rosters that we're waiting on to finish.

Lane handled Ole Miss the same way this past year and he saw amazing returns. I understand he's gotta do that with LSU on steroids to get to that level due to it being his first season, but I would be shocked if his season is sub-par. What are LSU's standards, 10-wins? Gonna be tough with their schedule next year, bit not impossible if we manages his roster like he did at Ole Miss.

I'll say this.... They had easy schedule and easy path to playoff.

I think Racin signs today.
Dottery- it's lot of noise right now on him. I'm not confident on him.

Chris jones..... I saw there was mutual interest between Alabama and him. I think we'll see a visit set up this weekend or Monday .
