^ article from earlier today featuring his game highlights

"The 6-foot-4, 254-pound defensive end is rated among the top overall prospects in the country and is a unanimous five-star prospect according to the major recruiting services"

I think he was 4th overall?

Also, a lot of people had him pegged for Michigan, THEN Florida, THEN Alabama in third .. so ROLL TIDE!

Roll Tide! Going to be a great class!

 

['65 Cobra]

No. 1 player in the nation on Rivals, I believe.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

LOL! Sure, we'll take him. I guess Peppers is gonna want to come now too?

In the end, with limited choices mentioning Bama...yeah, I guess we'll have to take him.

Have we had a bigger verbal on the DL in Saban's tenure?

 

[TerryP]

When we land Humphrey it'll give us three of the top five in 247's rankings.

 

[Snake2]

A very big get IMHO. We really need to beef up our pass rush. Hand and Robinson will be hard for any team to deal with.

:hyper: :hyper:

Nations Top DE Recruit Da’Shawn Hand Commits To Alabama

Alabama football is the gift that just keeps on giving. Al.com is reporting that Hand chose the Crimson Tide over Michigan and Florida during an announcement at his*Woodbridge, Va. high school. Hand, a 6-foot-4, 254-pound prospect rated a unanimous five-star prospect by the major recruiting services. *I would have to assume that landing Hand had to come with a promise that Saban would not take the Texas job if it became available. *

Gotta be right up there. If this pans out, this year & last years DL recruiting classes will be the best under CNS' tenure. We are finally closing up those super DL's.

Every year I keep thinking it will wind down .. but it just gets better and better.

Keep an eye on a kid named Settle from VA for 2015...

Add Hand to last years' group of Dlinemen and it spells trouble for opposing offenses!! Love to pick up Elam now!!

 

[Southern Bama]

Wonder if he redshirts ?

 

[PhillyGirl]
