Re: *** 2016 4* RB BJ Emmons Commits to Bama ****

As in "B.J. is the real deal" or "we're solidly in place for another top back in this class" or both?


I hoping both.
I like BJ as a prospect. He'll make it to campus. And as a class, we're okay. And our coaches do a pretty good job of coaching up the ones that make it to campus. But none of that needed to be said. We all know all of this.

I'm just saying, I wouldn't worry too tough about this class. The ones that flip, we've known for months that they will. There are at least a couple now that are currently committed to us who have no intentions whatsoever of coming here. The staff is well aware...and contingency plans are in place. RTR

Now they're going to stroke out over worrying which ones it will be, thanks WMack.

BJ scored the first TD of the Shrine Bowl game on a 15 yd run. Had several other runs for first downs as well. Can't find a game summary with stats for the game. I hope Bama is looking at Rico Dowdle an athlete from nearby AC Reynolds (near Asheville, NC)
I've seen him play for 3 years and he is dynamite! Didn't make the original roster and gets named player of the game and just received an offer from USCe.

With the coaching changes in the SEC alone, I expected some flipping and flopping. January is going to be interesting.

If I had to guess it would be Raekwon Davis who has been push hard by Mississippi st. But if he didn't flip, Davis will most likely head to JUCO .

I understand the game will be replayed on ESPNU starting December 29. I can tell you this...He will remind you of a Bama great...Just not quite the size.

Just out of curiosity..Are the recruits staying committed this long at the request of the school & coaches they will flip to..And will try to make it look like the other school stole recruits from us at the last minute..I'd just assume they decommit & move on myself..

He played for North Carolina in the Shrine Bowl -- NC vs SC. I did not watch all of it...but I did see him make a run where he used speed, agility and power. He has good size and really good quicks...

How strong is BJ Emmons?

I watched the Under Armor High School game on tv the other day, and got a chance to take a look at some of the guys playing in that game. I watched BJ Emmons carry the football, and noticed everytime he got hit, it took about 3-4 players every time to get him down. That kid must be really strong. anyone got any stats on this kids weight room? Did anybody else see what I'm talking about? I mean it wasn't every play he touched the ball, but a lot. That kid's gonna be a good one. And didn't he sign with us? Thoughts?:wink:

Re: How strong is BJ Emmons?

I was flipping back and forth to the Florida game but did see him play a bit. He was noticeably an elite player on the field with a bunch of all stars. We are getting a good one.

Re: How strong is BJ Emmons?

Yeah. I watched parts of it as well. He not only ran well but also blew people up on blocks. Looking forward to him if he can pick up the offense and play assignment football.

Going to move this to the recruiting board since we're still in season...
