🏈 Bama lands HUGE WR commitment - 5 Star Robert Foster...

[planomateo]

I'm a little surprised you both forgot Norwood.

I'm not in the least surprised this guy hasn't been mentioned. I've seen a dozen, if not more, people mention those six receivers and talk about what a group the QB will have to choose from.

But, I've not seen anyone mention Raheem Falkins who I think will end up fulfilling the X receiver position.

Why?

Foster and Norwood come in at around 6'2". From there we have Cooper and Bell who come in at 6'1", and every one is else shorter as we go through the depth chart.

Raheem comes in close to 6'5". In our Ace formation, with him split wide, we'll get single coverage against a cornerback the majority of the time. He already has 2 - 2½" on our receivers.

We already carry a roster of some of the tallest corners in collegiate football. If we looked around at the teams we play we'll find the majority of the corners at 5'11" to 6'. The tallest we played against this year was Simon out of LSU at 6'3".

You guys see where I'm going with this?

Isn't he an January enroll as well?

Heard Charles Barkley on a local radio show say it best, "Everybody is recruiting but Nick Saban is drafting talent."

What's the word on Eddie Williams? How has he been looking in practice this year - are they working him at WR or DB?

^^ DB for now.
