Re: New 2014 commit

Kid just committed. Chalk this one up to Cristobal & Brown (the new-comers). Solid player. Has played both guard and tackle. Had offers from USC, FSU, Miami, Ole Miss, Washington and about 12 others besides Bama.

Bone says (via Twitter) that he actually committed last Friday, and just broke the news today.

Re: *** 2014 4-Star OL Viane Talamaivao Commits to Alabama***

Very...very...very impressive film. My favorite tape on film is watching Jim Taylor pull around the right end for the Packers in the Super Bowl in the 60s. Most fans get up out of their seats for a big hit. Or a long run. or a long pass...But me? Nothing gets me amped like seeing a big man get to the second & third levels to punish defenders or taking his man and driving him into the bleachers. This kid is a bully on the interior of the o-line. Can't wait til he gets here.

Ohhhhh yaaaaaa! I cannot wait to see what Viane can do after some time with Coach Cochran! This guy is MEANN. I wonder if you guys are salivating at the mouth like I am thinking about the monster gaps Talaman is gonna open up.

His video certainly suggests that he can play in space which is invariably what does in a lot of promising HS linemen when they get to college - they simply cant stay in front of faster DLs.

Vee-ah-neh. Ta-la-ma-ee-vah-o.

Not the most impressive looking physically but he is quick for a lineman and knows how the game is played and can destroy people

He seems to move well for his size. Nice pickup and good to see us at least putting a small dent in USC's recruiting efforts.

Might want to send that to Verne, cause I have no idea what he would do with this name.

Roll Tide Viane gladto have you.

Sidenote, their offensive line has wider splits than anything I have ever seen.

Tidbits on VT. He verbally committed without ever visiting Tuscaloosa. Dominated the Los Angeles Nike Camp. He has been wanting to play in the SEC for awhile. Best friends with Damian Mama. Insiders say he is very much like Chance Warmack, if so look out!!!

Great to see UA recruiting the California area successful and hope the trend continues with Mama and Luatua. Great pickup for UA and interesting the hear that he could be the center of the class. Looks like a perfect Guard.
