sounds like we are telling our commits either shut it down or you are not guaranteed a spot...

I'm thinking Prince is gone....not betting on Richmond....

I think Okeke is ours if we push.... in-home with Hill tonight, could pull trigger

Charlot is in, IMO..... Keep forgetting about Tega but we have in home tomorrow

I'd love to see us get Tega. Even with the injury, he would redshirt anyway and have plenty of time to be ready for prime time, SEC football.

JustNeedMe81 · Jan 28, 2015

Smart move considering what Prince did.... I agree with this assessments... Tega probably will get a offer on signing day...

Agreed. The guy has so much raw ability and would be a dream for a coach to develop.

I hope we do not lose out on I. Prince. We really need another OT in this class.

CrimsonForce · Jan 28, 2015

Maybe we have a decent shot at Cece Jefferson. I think he is still a long shot..

JustNeedMe81 · Jan 28, 2015

Dont think Hollard, Cowart and Jefferson will play together as indicated. I think it was a talk... I read the article on DrewDAIntel's site, and it seems that there's a feeling that Alabama is in top two, and I didn't know He was really into Alabama.. because I thought he was just killing times... I never thought him to be a long shot to sign with Alabama.. Just always looked at him as a wildcat that could land with us under right circumstances.. This is real interesting news... I think we can close the deal tomorrow night.

Re: Prince: I think everyone at UA has a very uneasy feeling about him, and for good reason. Regardless of where he ends up, clearly he hasn't handled it the correct way. No one really knows where he goes from here, but my gut tells me he doesn't end up in Tuscaloosa.

Re: Jefferson: He's telling people a lot of things, and only God knows what is fact and what is fiction (because it can't all be true). You can add him to the list of people who have not handled their recruitment the correct way. My sense is that he doesn't sign with Alabama, but crazier things have happened.

Re: Charlot: LSU fans are bad-mouthing him again, so consider that a good harbinger for Alabama.

I'm assuming it's not Bama since he is committed to us but is announcing his decision..

gtowntide · Jan 28, 2015

BET or RTO what's the latest on McGraw?

Tidetwin · Jan 28, 2015

Good for you, Mr. Prince. I wish we could announce our final list the night before. Oh well; it's only recruiting.

Con · Jan 28, 2015

The funny thing about recruiting is we will have about 25 or so studs that wanted to Roll with the Tide and we seem to be so concerned over the couple that turned us down. Whatever floats their boat. I will take the guys that want to be in Tuscaloosa any day.

What a mature approach to take, Con. I HATE IT!!!!!

Some of these recruits have figured out that they can use the term "commit" to a school. That means the school holds them a place while they continue to look around.

There is a lot of truth to this. But on the other hand, it's also true that we've recruited a much higher quality of defensive back since Mr. Custis committed to us way back when. His path to playing time has grown far more difficult, even in his own recruiting class. Did he start looking around or did we leave a back door unlocked for him to leave?

It still works both ways: The kid wants the best deal. The school wants the best team.

The programs like Alabama have called their commits and know which ones are solid. I doubt that any kid who is not solid has a place reserved for him unless he is a super star - and the coaches will have a plan B for those, just in case. This late in the game, head coaches are also making final decisions.

I think it was Saban who said, "You shop, we shop", or something to that effect.

bamablood6 · Jan 28, 2015

I think Bama ends up with 2 WRs....that is about it. But I could be wrong....and have been many times before....a bunch of 17-19 year old kids out there making even harder decisons than which college to attend for free, so if these 17-19 year old football players choose Bama, good, if not Good Luck either way.

JDCrimson · Jan 28, 2015

You can see how the setup is coming for Prince to announce for OSU on national signing day over alabama.

And set up perfectly from UM himself.....he fed the manure he spews and it was eaten up like a bowl of cheerios.
