just listened to an interview with him, he's solid to bama, sounds like a good kid.

I agree! I think he could be the real sleeper of this class, if that's possible for a high 4* RB.
Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
Bama is going to have "multiple" top 100 NFL picks every year at the running back position, if we keep this up. This is not a joke, it's a fact.
Watch out because I think Bama might even have two backs go in the first round of the draft one year, and three in the top 100........very soon. I'd say the odds are better than you would think.
Roll Tide Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....and welcome Tenpenny, the sky is the limit for you, my son.

Anything can change in recruiting 17-18 year old kids, of course, but for now everything seems to indicate that the visit to Arkansas is just a courtesy and that he is firm with Alabama.

As my Uncle Yogi once said, "It ain't over til it's over." How many times have you been told, "It's a 99% done deal?" I, for one, will keep taking Valium and sipping Scotch til the fax machine starts humming on NSD. Cheers!

Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
I think he is the most complete and most natural RB of the three committed. In my book he is no sleeper.
Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
IMO, Tyren Jones is the sleeper of the 3 RBs in this class. the kid is dynamic, versatile, and elusive. I am truly looking forward to him in Crimson. and talk about not wavering, TJ has been solid as solid gets!!
Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
When you look at Yeldon (6'2 215ish), Drake (6'1 205ish) and now Tenpenny (6'0 210ish) all three have the same body type. I wonder if thats a tell that Saban or Burton perfer that body type in the RBs?

Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
That is basically the same size and build of tailback we have recruited here under Saban since day one.
Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
We've recruited a handful of others - Hart, Grant, the kid who transferred to AU. However, when we get outside that mold, it seems like they have trouble getting PT...
Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
It's hard to call any of the 3 sleepers they are all top 100 players in the country lol.

Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
Because of what jenk mentions below, I wonder how Jones will be used. Will he be moved out to the slot in most formations, almost like a Wes Welker type? Used more on special teams for kick and punt returns? No doubt he will be a special player, but I'm very interested to see how he is used, given that Saban seems to prefer the wrecking-ball type backs.
Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
Frankly, I would think coach is after the player not just an athlete with the measurables. That is, he is looking for a north south runner between the tackles with speed that can take and deliver a hit. I don't think it matters to him if a kid is 5'7" or 6'3" as long as he has a solid build and runs down hill.
Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
Earl, I know you're referring to the smaller back, but I'll let you break that news to Henry. :wink: I'm really excited to see what his size and speed will look like in our offense!!!
Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
Yeah. Henry falls outside the mold on the other side...
Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
So does TJ at 6'2". We heard the same stuff with TJ that Henry has been hearing about being too tall and runs too high, pad level, etc. and that did not effect TJ. I think Mark and Trent were more the mold at 5"9-5'10" and 220-225 lbs but TJ, Kenyan and Henry are changing the mold size.Yeah. Henry falls outside the mold on the other side...
Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
make no mistake, Tyren Jones is a tough, strong back that is not afraid of running up the gut. his speed allows him to bounce outside to avoid heavy contact and gained more yardage. he reminds me of another Dee Hart. let him get into the S&C program and he will be ready for SEC play in about a year or so.
Re: *** 2013 RB Altee Tenpenny Commits to Alabama *** (Update: Page 15)
Eddie Lacy was ideal as you can get for any RB type. 6'0 and damn near 240lbs. :biggrin2:
