2015 former Wisconsin commit RB Jordon Stevenson has been release from his National Letter of Intent.

Academic issues was the reason for his denial of admission.

keep our eye on this one, he has recently named Alabama in his Top 3 along with Nebraska and Oregon St.

Coach Saban was among the first to make contact with him right after his release from Wisconsin.

It probably deserves its own thread. Was just letting you know what other folks were saying about the situation. I hope he comes to Bama..

Where you been SJC? Stevenson would be a real good pick-up and we will know soon.

Re: 2015 4 * RB Jordon Stevenson

The question is, is there any space left? Alabama just added a guy, who apparently signed (meaning that they had to use two signing slots for one scholarship). If they had any slots left to sign someone, I'd think they were hoping to use them on EEs and not really sure about the scholarship situation at the moment.

How would/did we use two slots to fill one?

Detail: Jordan, not Jordon?

Reeeeally hope this fellow joins us. More than a little nervous about running back situation; especially for between the tackles running.

Two members of the 2015 signing class aren't on campus - Taylor and Flowers. That opens two scholarships. Marks took one of those.

Because the signing limit is a hard 25 per year. That's why it was such a stupid rule, and the SEC is the only place to have it. This means that no matter how many scholarships they have, or whether or not a player actually enrolls, or qualifies, when they sign with Alabama they take up one of the 25 "slots". On the other hand, scholarships are limited differently, 25 extra scholarships used annually, 85 overall. I'm not 100% sure of all the nuances, but if someone signs with Alabama, then Alabama can only have 24 left to sign for that "year". It made a ton more sense when it was 28, and teams could deal more effectively with players that didn't qualify and such.

That opened up a scholarship, but I'm not up to the numbers on the limit of signees (I'm not sure anyone is since I believe they still could use EEs as previous year's signees).

I don't want to be a "CNS does no wrong" type of person, but I figure he knows what he's doing in this case. Signing Stevenson could mean he staff doesn't sign as many RBs in 2016 as it originally planned, or it could mean the staff doesn't sign as many DBs because Ronnie Clark is able to move back.

Here's the latest with Stevenson. He's down to just Bama and Nebraska. He favors Nebraska, but momma favors Bama.

If we can get him on campus, we`ve got as good a chance as anyone. That`s especially so if doesn`t have some sort of tie to Nebraska. That`s assuming he`s not been to UA before (?).

I didn't know that big time recruits going to Nebraska was still a thing..

Re: 2015 4 * RB Jordan Stevenson

Take a look at Nebraska's roster. They are almost as thin as we are and with less experience. Maybe he wants to be in the Big10+2. Looks like early playing time is for the taking with the Huskers.

Hope he decides to roll with the Tide, though.

Re: 2015 4 * RB Jordan Stevenson

Stevenson is on his way back to Dallas from his Nebraska trip. He says he will meet with his mom tonight to try to convince her about Nebraska. Mom, OTOH, has been in talks with Bama and Miami. He still may visit Alabama, and it may come as soon as tomorrow. The plan is still be enrolled at a school by the end of the week.

Re: 2015 4 * RB Jordan Stevenson

If he doesn't want to be here I would prefer him go somewhere else rather than be talked into coming to Bama..

Tend to agree, but I want to see how he feels about Alabama if he gets on campus. He may decide he prefers Bama after a visit.

True. Always a tough situation when the player and parent want different things..
