Re: '16 AL OLB Lyndell Wilson

Not that I disagree with you but I would think the majority of our recruits in the past five to seven years committed to playing for Nick Saban rather than the University of Alabama.
No doubt, Nick Saban is the attraction that draws their initial attention, but most commits will tell you that Alabama has everything they are looking for to succeed to the next level whether it may be the NFL or a professional career. Nick Saban does an excellent job of selling that point across when they come to visit. Its not about him, but the school itself. you don't hear too many say they committed to Nick Saban.

Re: '16 AL OLB Lyndell Wilson

I think we are in pretty good shape with Mack:

2. ALABAMA

"Alabama, I built a relationship with a lot of their coaches since ninth grade. It's my dream school, I dreamed about playing college football there since I was younger. They still have great coaches — Coach (Bo) Davis, Coach (Tosh) Lupoi, Coach (Mel) Tucker. I feel like they're still going to have one of the best programs in college football and they have one of the best coaches in the game. They're going to recruit the best and that's a great school to go to. They are going to make sure you get out of there on time and get your degree and everything you need to go to the next level."

Re: '16 AL OLB Lyndell Wilson

With the success of our LB`s over the years, plus Foster`s development and Reggie`s recognition as one of, if not the, best LBers in college ball, I can`t imagine us having any trouble whatsoever getting top flight LBers, both inside and out.

Re: '16 AL OLB Lyndell Wilson

I just don't see Ben going anywhere other than Alabama. Wish he would go ahead and announce it, too.
I would too. Seems he is enjoying the attention and nothing wrong with that but it seems we would be his only choice.

Re: '16 AL OLB Lyndell Wilson

Ben named Georgia his leader yesterday
A few defensive players did. Smart to GA is going to change the landscape of this year's recruiting class unless Saban gets directly involved.

Re: '16 AL OLB Lyndell Wilson

Could not agree more. I`m sure all this is not lost on him either.
Definitely not lost on him. There will be no issues with who Kirby recruits in the 2017 class and beyond with CNS but it could get a little tense in the final month and half of the 2016 class between the two. As good as Kirby is I will still put my money on CNS closing out most of these guys.

Re: '16 AL OLB Lyndell Wilson

An update...

On Christmas Day, Mack released a top three of Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

Yesterday, he told 247's Tom Loy upon arrival at Under Armour All American that he wants to leave the state of Alabama.

Not looking good for us then.

Re: '16 AL OLB Lyndell Wilson

This young man has consistently said that we`re not his first choice. It`ll be interesting to see what the back up plan is at LB because, at least publically, I`m unaware of any statement or indication that he`s going to Bama.

Re: '16 AL OLB Lyndell "Mack" Wilson

Relax guys, jam is spot on. Look at all the nonsense that goes on. None of these guys like to be forgotten, it's foreign to them

Re: '16 AL OLB Lyndell "Mack" Wilson

I'm with Jam, this smells of a swerve. I think we get Mack.
