Any word on robertsons decision date yet?
Saw someone say he's contacted the staff about visiting next week, but I'm not sure if it was just a joke or not.

Edit to add: Saban mentioned numerous times during his presser Alabama wants to add another WR. If Robertson does visit next week, who knows what happens.

Word is that UGA was in consideration along with Stanford and Notre Dame. However, considering the number of WR"s UGA took today (4 I believe) Robertson will most likely remove them from contention and add Bama.

Awesome Class! Can't argue with the numbers either:

Offense = 12
3 OT
2 OG
2 TE
2 WR
2 RB
1 QB

Defense = 13
3 DL
1 DE
4 LB
5 DB

I saw a premium article on BOL with a headline stating "Bama making JUCO DE a priority" with a teaser first sentence of "Bama isn't done in the 2016 class yet.....". Anybody have an idea of who this may be?

Any actual chance with this guy?
From the BOL piece:


  • Decision should come in May when he is expected to graduate.
  • Ole Miss, USCe, and Florida are said to be the favorites.
  • Bo Davis has built a good relationship with him, though.
  • His decision seems to come down to where he fits best. He also wants to see the field early and a path to the NFL.

The article indicates recruiters believe he has the skills to get to the NFL. If that is the case, he very well could see the field early at Alabama due to how Saban likes to rotate and the DL depth isn't the log-jam it has been.

All he`s got to do is look at how we platooned our D line last season to know how we operate. Although we`ve done better of late, sometimes hard to overcome that " Magic of the Grove ".

Thanks RTR91. He would be a nice addition to this class. Will be keeping an eye on this one.

Coatney supposedly visited on April 9. Can't find him committed to anyone. Anyone with more info, please share it. Really hoping for another DL addition for depth, etc.
Thanks in advance.
As I posted last week, his decision is coming in May after he graduates from JUCO.
