He can go to Michigan and major in physical education ( or just show up)

I cannot disagree with you at all with that. More importantly is this guy worth the money not just on the field. Like Saban said, "If he won't work in the classroom then he won't work on the field and we don't want him."

Keelon is superior to Underwood. Russell just had to climb more of a ladder in recruiting, so they are protecting their initial ranking of Underwood over Russell. Even after Russell has won every recruiting event they've had.

Important things to note:
Carroll - Did not visit Colorado this week, looks like he's pretty much locked in with Bama.
Haywood - Decided last minute to not visit Michigan for their game. He's probably still feeling a little pull from them to end this cycle but I still like where Alabama is currently positioned with his recruitment.
Meadows and Montgomery - Another interesting situation, if we feel Meadows will come, I think we'd back off Montgomery as we have him higher on the board. Meontgomery though is a fine pick-up if Meadows isn't an option. We should know more in the next day or so on that front. Bama staff will likely pit them against each other and say the next to commit gets the spot.
AK Dear - Has essentially shut down his recruitment also, looks locked in with Bama at this point. Not listening one bit to Ole Miss who is pushing hard to get him to visit and flip.
Maison Dunn - Looking more and more like he'll flip to Bama, hearing good things on this.
Justus Terry - All eyes on Terry next week, he is going to Auburn this week supposedly, if he attends Bama next week for the Iron Bowl it could mean good things for Bama if not, then we know where we stand and move on. We're still in the hunt, but this really is the final window/chance unless he decides to extend his decision to NSD.

Jared Curtis in next year’s class is a solid QB. He slung the ball around tonight like it was a baseball. Big kid with great wheels and was very tough to tackle. He put up 62 points against a very talented team with some D1 talent (including a kid with an offer from Bama). Curtis’ team is hot or miss as far as talent, not near the WRs that Simpson has. He ran the ball often tonight and scored 2 or 3 with his feet. Also excellent at escaping the rush, which he had to do frequently. With his solid frame and height, he’s got a ton of potential. He was the tallest guy on the field outside of his lanky 6’6” center that weighed less than 200lbs. Never seen a center so lanky.

Justice and Manchester High are still in the Playoffs, so will be a big week with Thanksgiving, Friday Playoff, and Saturday Iron Bowl. Hopefully he's up for it and can make the trip. We just need to pay up for him. He is perfect size and fit for what we need/are currently lacking. DeBoer will learn quick it's that defensive line that really wins ballgames in the SEC.

Gotta say it at least once, "no such thing." Maybe twice.
Maybe I am missing something but based on what I see that we are losing this year and what we have committed he does not get that. Hope he has a plan or as you say he will learn quick...
Last Iron Bowl was in 1998. I reckon because Shug named it, media and others still call it the same to show respect and to recognize *aU's contribution to the rivalry. IT AINT THE IRON BOWL

I know I know how you feel about that.

That's why I feel Terry is so important. Plus it gets him away from Athens. I think he has Quinnen Williams type ability.

I'm confused to why you said that? You made a assessment based on depth chart and commits he got? Sometime we don't know what's going on in the background. They know the real # and they have idea of who they want. Transfer portal is always an option. I don't think it's fair for you to say that he doesn't get it just because of what you're seeing. CKD is a smart man and he definitely knows what he is doing.
An obesrvation/perception of what we appear to be losing and the current commitments we have lined up at that position. Been awhile since I looked at the commitments but when I did I only saw like 1 or 2 DL committed. It seems like we will lose several DL from this years team. So it is an assessment w/o doing a deep dive. End of the day we need 2 and 3 deep on DL with some difference makers.
Now this is one that I have not done my homework on so hope I am "wrong". I will say if we do not have studs at that position it will become a problem. Does CKD have a plan? He gets paid a lot of money to have one. BTW it felt like this was a position that had dropped of a little bit even under the goat. Have not seen any Reed, Allens, Paynes, or Williams on the DL for awhile now.

We don't need studs. We just need players who's gonna do their job well.
