📝 Sophser drops 50+ spots in the final rankings. Now ranked a 4 star.

[Max]

Any idea as to why?

Took reps and plays off during the all-star week. I think playing consistently and with a high motor will be an issue.

What @UAgrad93 said. They said he had put on some bad weight and was just disinterested in the whole event.

Even more impressive was the rise of Alfano. Dude is Top 5 after being out of the Top 100 most of his recruitment. Immediate impact they are saying.

 

[UAgrad93]

Trey Sanders at 3, Alfano at 5, and Neal at 8 ain't too bad.

The Tosh situation is unclear but Nick still has him on the road recruiting.

Saw this.......

4-star ILB Daniel Heimuli 6-2/225 CA hudl

quote:
"I'm going to Washington next weekend (25th), the weekend after I'm back from Polynesian Bowl, then I'll visit Alabama the weekend after, before Signing Day... Tosh (Lupoi) from Alabama is coming next week... Heimuli said he's not tired of the recruiting process just yet. "Nah, I'm still enjoying it and it has been a long but good process, but I'll be ready to announce on Signing Day."​

Any idea as to why?

They took one from him to give to his shit juco no-star brother to make him more attractive in the "package deal"?

Rumor is that BAMA is moving on from Sopsher and concentrating on solidifying Young and flipping Pickering.

I know it's more than just this, but both of those guys were praised during all star practices and games, so I could see this happening and was actually thinking it was more in the works before with some interviews Pickering gave during the week of practice.

All the coaching rumors might not bode well for Bama for this 2nd NSD. It sure playing time is very possible for some DL for the 2019 version of The King.
