In "The Breakdown," veteran talent scout Randy Rodgers is analyzing film of a select group of the nation's top prospects for Rivals.com. Rodgers has more than 35 years of experience in the college recruiting arena. He was the recruiting coordinator at the University of Illinois (1988-91) and the University of Texas (1992-97) and is one of the leading authorities on high school football talent analysis in the country. In this edition, Rodgers takes a look at quarterbacks and running backs.
Speaking of linebackers, Lazear did not mention Bama today when commenting on "who sticks out right now." He named Ohio State, UGA, and Florida (31-3).
I'd really like to see this guy in Crimson to go along with McClain and Smith. I know it's early, I hope it turns out well.
Lazear said he plans on committing in August. I'd like to see him take an official visit to the Hawaii game before he makes that decision.
He has a final five on Rivals and only one those are on that list. I believe his list includes Oklahoma, Maryland, Georgia, Alabama, and Nebraska in no paticular order. I think we have an opportunity and he has spoke glowingly of us. He knows the need for a MLB and I hope he considers it. I would hope that those comments would pertain to the recent visists he has had with coaches or to the campus.

If Bama could sign 3 or 4 of these prospects I would be happy.

Maybe the Memphis guys will come and tick off both phatlock and Orgeron. Maybe their fences have some holes in them.

I think 3 or 4 from this list is entirely possible. Any one player on that list would be a good pickup IMO, they all seem like good players.
