| RECRUIT ⭐⭐⭐ Safety, Jake Pope (6' 190 lbs) commits to Alabama.

[TerryP]

He's scheduled to announce this evening at 5:45 CT. I'm not sure there's a stream but I'll keep a look out.






"A three phase player, Pope shows the ability to project to the receiver and or safety position at the next level. Possesses growth potential to add additional weight to his frame. Displays good athleticism in all three phases. Exhibits good short area burst and explosiveness on both sides of the ball while possessing outstanding play speed. Plays with very little wasted motion, clean in and out of breaks. Demonstrates excellent instincts in all three phases. Flashes natural ball skills on both sides of the ball. Shows some ability as a playmaker in the return game and after the catch. Will have an immediate impact on special teams. Versatile athlete that wins with instincts. Plays bigger than he is."

A rare 3 star joining. Surprising since he had so many offers from top schools. Must be flying under the radar of the services.

There are no "true rankings" right now. It was mentioned in one of his profiles he hadn't been seen for quite some time: it's that way with a lot of this year's class.

You can expect him to be bumped as well as a lot of others—we'll see rankings shift up and down through January

I have seen others say 4 star. He likely gets a bump. Trust Saban he misses a lot less than most.

JMO but I believe Charles Kelly is one of the best coaches Nick has on his staff. I have read Charles has been working the Pope kid very hard. He is a barner but we will need to give him a pass on that mistake.

Agree. Don’t see many 3 star kids with offers from the schools that offered him.

ESPN and 247 have him as a 4 Star … Rivals and the 247 Composite have him as a 3 Star. He wasn’t on the camp circuit this summer so his senior season will tell the tale on whether his recruiter rankings get bumped up or down.
