4* TE Tyler Luatua and 5* LB Raekwon McMillan both announcing their choices Monday. Lutua is down to Bama and Notre Dame, his brother plays for Bama but supposedly he's a big Notre Dame lean because of the way they use their TEs. Raekwon choosing between Bama, Auburn, Clemson, & Ohio State.

The nation's most heralded inside linebacker prospect in the 2014 class will announce his college decision on Monday and both Alabama and Auburn are in the running.


Hinesville, Georgia star Raekwon McMillan will make his announcement at 11 a.m. Central time on Monday, choosing between Alabama, Auburn, Clemson and Ohio State. The unanimous five-star prospect is rated by most recruiting services as the No. 1 inside linebacker prospect in the nation and his 6-foot-2, 245-pound frame makes him the rare distinction of being a high school linebacker with the physical prowess to play in immediately in college.


McMillan hosted members of the coaching staffs of all four of his finalist schools on Sunday and has been relatively quiet regarding any potential favorites. Which school will he choose? Let us know what you think by voting in our poll and check out what our recruiting experts think below.


Stay tuned to AL.com at 11 for the big announcement.


Raekwon McMillan isn't the only big-name Alabama recruiting target who plans to announce a commitment on Monday. Four-star La Mirada (Calif.) tight end Tyler Luatua tweeted Sunday night that he plans to announce his decision Monday morning -- a choice that likely will be between Alabama and Notre Dame, which he's listed as his leaders for months.

You'll find out tomorrow morning.. Where I'll be going

Luatua's older brother, Isaac, is an offensive guard at Alabama, but Notre Dame is thought to hold a firm edge in his recruitment. While he told Rivals.com that he liked the small-town environment in Tuscaloosa after his official visit to Alabama last month, he has said he's impressed with how Notre Dame uses its tight ends and the number of them who go on to the NFL.

He took official visits to Notre Dame and Ole Miss in October.

Here's some highlights of Luatua posted by MaxPreps:

Let me add this as one disclaimer:

Rodney Orr believed last week Bama held the lead for McMillan. As of last night he maintained his stance with this disclaimer, "Heading into tonight, TI felt that Alabama still held the lead. But, as Coach Warner told us last week, Urban Meyer's visit tonight could change everything."

I tend to believe he's headed to Ohio State. Love him or hate him, Meyer is a hell of a recruiter.

This may be true, but I really like what I see in the recruiting videos for Shaun Hamilton. The main knock on him I've seen is that he is short, but they said the same thing about CJ Mosley and he is currently the best LB in the country. I'm not sure McMillan would start over Hamilton at Alabama.
 
Meh. He was considered Bama bound for most of September and October. But ND won him over in November, and here we are.

I am quite happy with OJ at TE for now :tennis:
No doubt. And frankly, I think our TE is pretty involved and becoming moreso in our offense. So, not sure about his comments, but you can't get them all anyway.

I was looking at his twitter last night and the dude has been saying things like "Go Irish" and even posting pics of him beating the hell out of Alabama WITH Notre Dame on NCAA on XBox months ago so I kinda figured when I saw that it was over.

Only if video games were real. He must have short term memory loss from last year.
 
Go be cold up North all you want boys. Braxton Miller and Guyton will be gone, so I see a few years of rebuilding in Columbus. Of course we will too, but we also have years of recruiting under us whereas Meyer is getting started. Go pull for the Buckeyes as he is a dang good ball player. Like someone said earlier, you can't get them all.
