*** RB BJ Emmons Signs With Alabama ***
- Thread starter RTR91
- Start date
B.J.Emmons ACT
It's being reported on BOL. that BJ has indeed raised his test score and will qualify for 2016! This is great news and it makes me feel a whole lot better about our RB situation for this season!

That is significantly good news!! Now, if he just didn`t raise it too much in order to keep the NCAA from jumping all over it....

Re: B.J.Emmons ACT
BOL says his score is high enough with his current GPA, but he plans to retake the ACT in April to score even higher in case his GPA dropped.
Re: B.J.Emmons ACT
Just curious, what's the bare minimum ACT score one has to make in order to be accepted and enroll at Alabama?

That is really good news. We are still painfully thin at RB and I think he has the physicality to play immediately.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say most of our football players didn't score a 22. I will stay on that limb and say most in the SEC didn't either.

Unless they've changed it, the minimum ACT is based on a sliding scale relative to GPA. If you have a higher GPA, you can have a lower ACT (down to 18 I think). That means it ends up being different for each kid. Not knowing what BJ's GPA is, I'm not sure we can know what the minimum required ACT score would be.
I think this makes getting Najee Harris all the more important. Both Emmons and Harris need to start early and stay late with Coach Cochrans strength and conditioning program though. I can see most RB's being intimidated by the size and ability of Henry and Bo when they came to visit. Henry's stiff arm and Drake's speed are gone, Bo is next up (I think).
While everybody we sign needs to work hard with Cochran in our S&C program, both Emmons and Harris are grown men in the typical mode of big RB's we recruit and play.
Just took it for granted that both Emmons and Najee were in the size and strength castegory of Lacy and Ingram. We seem to be going to the more big back style of Henry and scarbrough (sp). Of our last four feature backs that were all awesome, Henry seemed to stand head and and shoulders above the others and Bo appears to come from the same mold as Henry. Anyway I'm glad we are getting away from the 2 yards and a cloud of dust type RB we had during the Shula days.
Emmons is not as tall as Henry/Scarborough at 5' 11" but he is 230 lbs. Najee is 6' 2" and 220 lbs entering his senior year so by the time he takes a snap at Bama he will be right where DH and Bo are now and is currently as big or bigger as TJ Yeldon.
As I said way back in the thread, BJ is a very impressive physical specimen. Comparing him to Henry at this early stage is a bit unfair.
