I saw Barnett was here because he was saying first night in Ttown and is a tornado watch.just wondering about others.Thanks guys and Roll Tide!
Like I said, Phillip Sims was a part of the biggest bust of a QB class in recent history. Look at this stat from Bruce Feldman's book The QB.I think you pretty much answered your own question. Phillip Sims was a 5 star that totally busted and Cooper Bateman was also a 5 star, and 3 years into his career here, he's the 4th string QB behind a supposed career backup (also from the 2010 class), a JUCO transfer, and a 3 star prospect.
To say that our QB recruiting hasn't exactly panned out in the last several years is a fair assessment. I agree with him in saying I hope Barnett is as advertised.
Point of clarification... I'll go back and check, but I don't recall PS or CB being 5-star QBs.I think you pretty much answered your own question.

I take it that Ronnie Harrison is no longer a "soft verbal" like Scout proclaims him?So..Blake Barnett and Ronnie Harrison are here. Deionte Thompson is headed here tomorrow morning.
I'd say he's about as firm as you can beI take it that Ronnie Harrison is no longer a "soft verbal" like Scout proclaims him?

Looks firm to me, so does the bed :biggrin:
I know there are questions about Ridley, but how about Kennedy, Warmack, and Flowers? Are they still on schedule to enroll early?So..Blake Barnett and Ronnie Harrison are here. Deionte Thompson is headed here tomorrow morning.
I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise.I know there are questions about Ridley, but how about Kennedy, Warmack, and Flowers? Are they still on schedule to enroll early?
Any word on Jonthan Taylor? A decision was supposedly to be made this past weekend?
Not to worry - Barnett is going to be all that has been advertised and more. I cannot express how anxious I am to have him on the field, taking snaps and making plays. The addition of Blake at QB should have Coach Kiffin even more anxious than I. Roll Tide!I just hope Barnett is the real deal, for all the great recruiting we've had, none of the QBs have turned out to be elite type passers and play makers.
With the college landscape right now, we might have to put 45 points up in the playoffs to beat a well oiled spread team.
No way to know and not for nothing, but I would wager without them he plays for KY.Huge pickup today 5* RB Damien Harris..A big thanks to the Bama commits who played in the Under Amour AS game as I think they helped sway this pickup! RTR
Our other recruits played a big role at the UA game and helped the situation, but he said he made his decision at the Iron Bowl. He was talking with Blake Barnett almost daily since the IB. The way he celebrated with other Bama commits and took pics with the other commits the week of the UA game, I think it was already a done deal. The best thing about it is that his mom was ecstatic about him committing to Bama. That's a big plus!No way to know and not for nothing, but I would wager without them he plays for KY.
