	Kyle Prater. Slim shot we get him but he is as good as they come as a receiver in this class.

While I agree Prater is about as good as it gets this year, I would also emphasize THIS YEAR. There isn't a Julio in this class.

I agree. Which is exactly why I said Prater is as good as it gets "in this class."

Could just tell me why we would have just a slim chance?
I mean look were Alabama,you have Jim McElwain arguably the best off.coord.iin the country,the faci's,the conf.the offense is moving in a great direction,the Univ. is moving in a direction that is being noticed,the coach is CN Saban and you have everything that you could possibly want at UA. What is the problem here? Why are high profiled wide receivers across the country having to think about coming to UA when they could commit right away and not wait until the last minute or choose to go someplace else which doesnt make any sense? What is the reasoning behind this?
I dont get it.

Because location is the single biggest factor in recruit's choice of college, and Prater is upwards of 1,000 miles from Tuscaloosa, literally.

We obviously have a great program and a ton to offer anyone, but this is a kid who grew up in the heart of Big Ten country, and he'll end up there.
