Re: ***4-Star DT Joshua Frazier Commits to Alabama***

Any relation to the former qb now db/wr at aub?
I don't think so, I read a story on al.com where it said the Frazier at auBARN helped recruit him and only mentioned he was a fellow Springdale player. Generally they would find out and say if he was kin or not.

Re: ***4-Star DT Joshua Frazier Commits to Alabama***

BOL staff mentioned that when most of the recruiting scouts got together to discussed the most physically impressive player at the Under Amour game, the majority stated that Frazier was the " first to get off the bus" guy. at 6'3 and 330 lbs, he has a 67 inch wing span, well put together with no sloppiness to his big frame.

IMO, if we miss on Elam, Frazier will make us very happy for the next 3-4 years.

Miss/not miss on M Elam will probably have nothing to do with Frazier making us happy during his time at Alabama.

I understand what you are saying, I was referring to Frazier playing NG . He is talented enough to play DE as well. His commitment will us options on the Dline.

Sounds like Josh is helping his stock price this week. Love to see our OL and DL dominating like they are. What I really like is the class and maturity (knock on wood) that all seem to be showing. From interviews and pictures, they seem to be very business-minded and enjoying the process...see what I did there :wink:

Re: ***4-Star DT Joshua Frazier Commits to Alabama***

I've been seeing where a few recruiting guru's are predicting Frazier back to Arkansas. Any info about a change of heart? If we lose OJ Smith and Frazier, a once strong DL class just went average. Even if Elam does pick us (which I'm not sold on).

Regarding Frazier-to-Arkansas, I've seen nothing of substance that would cause me any concern. Barring some unexpected, last-minute change of heart, Frazier just hasn't shown any serious interest in Arkansas for quite some time now. I think he long ago made up his mind that he was leaving the state, and he's moved beyond that.

The real threat here -- assuming there is any threat at all -- is USC. He's been toying with the prospect of an official visit to LA the past couple of weeks, but nothing has yet come to fruition. I'm not particularly worried about the Trojans, mind you, just saying that if there is a threat here at all, it's likely not from Arkansas.

Re: ***4-Star DT Joshua Frazier Commits to Alabama***

Do the schools pay for the official visits, like plane tickets etc., or do the kids? I was just wondering.

On official visits, schools do pay for travel and hotel costs for the student and I think one adult. Others probably know the rules better.

Thank you for the information. I kind of thought that because it seems very expensive to have to fly. I would definitely take a trip to a west coast school then just to go see the area.

Frazier is still tentatively scheduled to visit USC this weekend, but a lot of people think that trip ultimately won't take place.

FWIW, we've also still got an in-home visit with him scheduled later this week.

Looks like he isn't taking the visit now per twitter.

Re: *** DT Joshua Frazier Commits to Alabama ***

Great news! Those last minute trips can always change minds. JF is a tremendous player (Andrew Bone tweeted weeks back that ppl at the AA game thought JF was one of the best there). He can be the perfect E/T combo; I think he'll be very similar to Dial but with a bit more athleticism.

IMO he is the best pure NG in this class. He has power to plug the middle and good speed to get around the edge.
