Really tough to tell. My personal belief is that we are done if/when Charlot comes aboard but we've seen surprises before (Kenny Bell, Rashan Evans, etc)
Anything new on Richmond's ... evolving ... itinerary or did Freeze post troopers at the Tennessee-Mississippi line?

It feels like the insanely "hot" girl who acts like she likes you one day, and the next day she's hanging on the jock, then the hipster, then the preppy guy......

You keep thinking she'll be the one -- and yet, the kinda-hot girl is hanging on your every word, just waiting for a chance.....and you're so focused on the "insane" one -- you miss the girl of your life.....

Luckily for me, I was the hipster, preppy jock. And I wound up with the girl.

Owwwww

So weird.... Things that went down in the last few weeks... One would wonder if Saban is ....ed or simply understand it's just business...I wonder if Saban will make some changes going forward with recuiting in the future? Think STeele and THompson situation screwed some of things up?

It is almost inevitable that these two leaving during the height of recruiting had some non-positive effect. Especially when [1] they were as involved as they were for us [2] they went to SEC teams, and [3] they went to division opponents.

That said, we will still get lots of talented players to sign - though perhaps not as closely aligned with wants as we though pre-exit of KS and LT. None better than our head guy at this aspect of the game.

Whether Charlot comes aboard or not, it`s looking like we may finish with available slots going unfilled(?). If that were to be accurate, has that ever happened before since CNS`s arrival?

Wonder if any "unfilled" slots are for walk-ons the staff feel more comfortable with than some of the,uh, less-stable players in high school. Our roster has more than a few OL and TE that are probably not on scholly.

I think walk-ons are walk-ons for a reason n most cases and a scholly would be offered only if one opens up. I believe Saban put 2-3 on scholly for the spring semester but when fall rolls around they will be off scholly when the new class reports.

I know it is way, way late in the game but I just get the feeling we will get a nice surprise or two on signing day. Nothing inside just a hunch...

FWIW, Tider Insider speculates that linebacker CeCe Jefferson, wide receiver Terry Godwin and tight end Tyrone Wheatley, Jr. are at the top of our board right now. Nice list!

I feel like cee cee is going to ole miss, gut instinct. But I also feel like he's going to be a good one wherever he winds up and I personal wanna see the fax girl put his name up on the board

Wherever he goes, I agree it won't be Bama, IMO. Surprises do happen (Evans), but I don't see it, and I think Bama doesn't fill all its spots. Like WM, can't argue with CNS' success, but some judgement calls were made incorrectly and the worst case scenario (which will probably still be the best recruiting class) looks very possible, even probable I would say.

I agree . Coach Saban has a surprise or two in his pocket !
It`ll apparently have to be a big surprise. Great class, mind you, but kind of a "thud" perhaps here in the end when one considers where it appears we might be. Maybe it`s happened before since Coach Saban`s arrival, but I don`t recall us not being able to fill all our slots.
