News released Wednesday afternoon.

Freshman running back DeSherrius Flowerswill not be enrolled this fall "due to a recently discovered initial ineligibility issue," according to a UA news release. He enrolled in January and participated in spring practice. Privacy laws prevent Alabama officials from further discussing the eligibility ruling.

Coach Nick Saban also announced defensive back Jonathan Cook is "no longer a member of the team." The Daphne product participated in three games as a redshirt freshman last year, but did not record any stats.

Alabama head football coach Nick Saban also announced Wednesday that Jonathan Cook is “no longer a member of the team.” Cook played in three games last fall as a redshirt freshman.
 
I wonder how Bo's knee is progressing. It would be a HUGE boost to get him back by game 5-6.
I watched some video on the Vaughn kid from Blount High that is possibly coming as a walk on. Not a bad looking kid with pretty good numbers. 1,800 on 223 carries and 18 TDs.

If things remained as they are today:

Don't dismiss Ronnie Clark. He's a little bigger than Drake and considering he was getting looks playing in the defensive secondary he's got the speed. I see his as the 3 this fall.

I know a guy that's in the nutritional supplement, conditioning, body toning business that's seen Harris a few times. He said that Harris looks the part of being the kind of guy that could be "ridden" if injury led the team down to that. A solid #2 for sure. Looks the part, physically.

People that have seen him in person have said he's an explosive runner. It's not unheard of for a true frosh to handle a back up role. But, going into the fall I see him as a likely 4, but we might see that 3A / 3B back.

Fournette stepped in and got the job done. I think Harris can do it as well as long as he receives quality reps in practice. I personally think we're going to be fine with whatever we roll out. I look at how awful our secondary has been the last few years, yet we have been in the National Championship hunt regardless, so I think we're going to be just fine. Us and Florida State have recruited at such a high level it amazes how down on us and them everyone is.
