Alabama makes final cut for 2021 five-star DL (BamaOnLine)

quote:

Five-star DL Tunmise Adeleye, the No. 26 overall player in the 2021 class per the 247Sports Composite Rankings released his "final 6" (via Twitter) on Christmas Eve. Making the cut in no particular order are: Alabama, Florida, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M. The Katy (TX) Tompkins product announced on Monday that a decision will be made on Aug 1, 2020.

It's the Tide that led for Adeleye back in the summer following an unofficial visit to Tuscaloosa. “At the very top,” Adeleye said of Bama in June. “Alabama’s been at the top for a while, but after the visit yesterday I don’t see them going anywhere for the foreseeable future. They solidified themselves at the top.”

A few months later, Adeleye said the Buckeyes and Tide were tied in the one-spot for him, reaffirming that stance after a return visit to the Capstone for the LSU game. “Alabama is a place where they have an atmosphere of excellence. Everything there, everybody there wants to be excellent,” Adeleye said of UA.

“From the nutritionist, to the academic staff, to Coach (Nick) Saban, the coaches, the players, everyone there embodies excellence. From the classroom, to the weightlifting program, to the field, everyone wants to be excellent. I want to be at a place where people embody that and they want not just the football player to succeed, but the person and the man to succeed.”

BREAKING: Tide lands 2021 in-state standout (BamaOnLine)

quote:

Four-star weak-side defensive end Deontae Lawson, one of the top 2021 prospects in the state of Alabama, has committed to the Crimson Tide, he confirms to BamaOnLine. AL.com's Ben Thomas was first to report. The Mobile Christian standout held offers from Power Five programs like Auburn, LSU, Clemson and Georgia, among others.

The in-state defender spoke with Nick Saban on Friday evening. "He was ready," Lawson said of the UA head coach's reaction. "He was excited for me. Just hard thinking and talking it over with my parents, praying about it," Lawson said of how he came to his decision. "I think it was time."

So ... why Alabama? "I feel like I'm at home when I'm there," he said. "Just the coaches, they have a great relationship with me. And the success of their program. It feels good. Like a dream come true." Outside linebacker's coach Sal Sunseri recruits Lawson for UA.

Lawson is commitment No. 3 for UA in the 2021 class, joining four-star quarterback Drake Maye and four-star cornerback Latrell McCutchin. The Tide's 2021 class ranks No. 14 in the nation, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings.

www.si.com

The University of Alabama football program's first major Junior Day of the year is Saturday and the list of prospects is star studded.

With head coach Nick Saban and staff finishing up their time on the road, trying to seal the deal with the remaining targets in 2020, they can work toward laying the groundwork for a solid class in 2021.

Here are some players in next year’s crop that will be in town this weekend who could be huge additions:

Alabama lands state’s top-ranked 2022 prospect

The top-ranked player in Alabama for the Class of 2022 has committed to the Crimson Tide.

www.al.com

The top-ranked player in Alabama for the Class of 2022 is now committed to Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide.

Thompson defensive end/outside linebacker Jeremiah Alexander announced his commitment to Alabama Monday afternoon.



Alexander is rated as the second-best weak-side defensive end and ninth-best overall player in the 2022 recruiting class, according to 247Sports.

The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Alexander had seven tackles, 3.5 tackles for a loss, a sack and two fumble recoveries during Thompson’s win over Central-Phenix City in the Class 7A state championship game in December.

“That boy is great,” Central-Phenix City offensive tackle and Alabama signee Javion Cohen said after the game of Alexander. “He added a lot of weight, which he showed me on the first play and I had to get right with him. Yeah, he’s a great player – really strong, really physical, really versatile. He’ll be one of the best players in the country for years to come.”

Alexander is Alabama’s first commit for its 2022 recruiting class.

Alabama’s 2021 recruiting class finally has more than one commitment in it.

UA added Anquin Barnes, a three-star defensive lineman from Robert E. Lee High School in Montgomery, to the class Friday after he announced his commitment on Twitter. Barnes recently added offers from Ole Miss to USC to preexisting interest from Auburn and others before picking the Crimson Tide.

Both of UA’s 2021 commits are on the defensive front, as Barnes joins linebacker Deontae Lawson from Mobile Christian in the 2021 class

That is a tall & athletic dude for being 300 lbs! Not your typical build for a DT... I like the idea of being more athletic up front.

Top100 WR Agiye Hall commits to Alabama

Alabama added a major addition to its 2021 class in Top100 wide receiver Agiye Hall on Saturday evening.

247sports.com

Another day, another commitment for Alabama, this time from Top100 wide receiver Agiye Hall as the Valrico (Fla.) Bloomingdale product committed to the Crimson Tide on his Instagram Saturday evening over offers from Arizona State, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, and others. Hall is commitment No. 3 for Nick Saban and company, and the second in as many days, joining in-state defensive tackle Anquin Barnes from Montgomery (Ala.) Lee.

Here's another one of these recruiting stories that are endlessly entertaining.

You know the group; "he's never been in college so how can you say he'll accomplish ( fill in the blank.) You can't take what happened in high school and expect the same in college."

I'm seeing a number of the same group now saying, "look at his high school career. He probably won't make it at Bama."

Am I the only one who sees the conflict?

In case you didn't know, he did transfer to IMG and left IMG. There's three different stops in four years as he's running through high school. I'd caution against using IMG as a story line here because it's not like transferring from a small school in Cullman to say Briarwood and then...Hoover, or where ever.

Interesting side note in all of this is the role Jerome Ford had in his commitment.
