Summary of today (Saturday, February 2)

I love this thread.

So let's see if I have this correct:

- A'Shawn Robinson, a Texas commit and Rivals 5-star #33 recruit, has informed his Texas recruiter that he will be signing with Alabama.

- Antonio Conner, an Ole Miss commit and 4-star #88 recruit, is rumored to be a Bama commitment soon.

- Eddie Vanderdoes, former USC commit and 5-star #21 recruit, is on campus right now with his entire family and is loving it.

- Henry Poggi, current Michigan commit and 4-star #70 recruit, is rumored to be considering a GRAYSHIRT offer at Bama


And we already have one of the best recruiting classes in the nation, if not the best.

...

Does that about summarize the day? Did I miss anything. And finally.... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Wow! This is awesome!

Conner's not an Ole Miss commit, but other than that, everything looks about right. Pretty crazy day.

Yes...

What will the grey shirt haters say if poggi takes one? Hope we get to see.

Coach Saban needs another raise.

You forgetting Liner?

My apologies! Mr. Liner is all-ready committed in my mind.. He will be #6. Is that 3 5 stars?

Missed R. foster and A. Karma are in Tuscaloosa :cool2:

I will be incredibly surprised if even half of what the threadstarter said is true. I think All of these players are leaning elsewhere. Poggi will not accept a greyshirt offer. Robinson will stay at Texas. Vanderdoes is expected to stay in California. Conner is expected to sign elsewhere. I hope you are right, but I'll believe it when I see it.

That is 4 or 5 5*.

Doubting CNS recruiting tactics is frowned upon in these parts

Well let me see...

1.) Stating Poggi will not take a greyshirt would be speaking out of context. His Father rather him play at Alabama, and take a greyshirt, then be at UM. His Dad is a great HS Coach, and values what our program does. These aren't just things throw out in the dark, there is substantial talk about it.

2.) Robinson has been reported to have informed the UT staff (face to face I believe) he will not be signing with them. That, along with the fact that as supposed commitment to UT already, he announced today he would be making his declaration on NSD. Which makes no sense if he is still committed to the the Longhorns.

3.) Vanderdoes is no expected to stay in Cali. He has made it clear to his parents, per people close to the situation, he wants to leave the state. That makes it a two horse race between UA and ND.

4.) While you are correct, several expect Connor to sign elsewhere, it is well known by people close to him he prefers UA. It's just tough for a kid from that area to break ties and leave state.


You really gotta do your research...

Robinson is already confirmed by non-Bama sources. Of course, he could always change his mind before signing day, but he is certainly not "leaning elsewhere".

Vanderdoes is not expected to stay in California either. He's expected to leave the state.
