@CharlesGPowernow
Whitley said he actually committed to Nick Saban via FaceTime on Wednesday. Decided to make commit public today.

Sounds like a smart young man with a good head on his shoulders. He's got to be a good footballer or CNS would not have offered him. I like that he is putting a lot of stock in his college education and likes the UA Engineering School. Smart kid.

Looking forward to having him in school next year. Any chance he will be an EE?

Great to get another Texas commit. A&M joining the league and the exposure we got playing in JerryWorld has helped our Texas recruiting tremendously. Winning 3 of 4 NC does not hurt either. Looks to be a lot like CJ. Welcome Zach and Roll Tide!!!

Roll Tide. We've been collecting them lately. With Spring Practice over coach can really get down to locking these guys up.

If he's entering the Engineering School, I'd guess there's a fair chance he'll be an electrical engineering major.

I see Kirby is recruiting Texas. I bet that ours a lot of strain on those teams out there.

Great pickup to get the top player on your board at a certain position this early in the season. I imagine his life is about to get very hectic with the barn and THE university offering schollys now that they know he has an Alabama offer.

I can tell you that North Shore has a helluva team. I didn't make it to the varsity game last year, but they beat up on my son's team 62-21...the 21 points was merciful that their 4th string let them score.

I saw a tweet by one of the recruiting analysts giving Burton Burns the credit for Whitley's commitment. Might have misunderstood it, though.

Kirby was listed with Burns on the 24/7 link. Don't know how much he had to do with his commitment though.

Many football fans in SEC country view Texas football as soft, but no where is High School Football bigger than in Texas. The Alabama footprint might get bigger out there after the Aggies get humbled at home in September.

247Sports is listing recruiting coach and position coach now. Obviously Coach Smart coaches LBs, but I believe Coach Burns is in charge of east Texas now (along with south Louisiana). But we also have to credit one of Whitley's coaches at North Shore. He played under Nick Saban at LSU.

This is my first day being relatively healthy since being discharge from the hospital, so this s definately a nice home welcoming surprise.

Welcome Mr. Whitley.
