From what I can tell, it would be this year. He signed with Ohio out of high school in 2013. He took a redshirt his freshman year and then played in 2014 before transferring.

Profile

A little background

Just read the BOL piece. He would be a member of the 2016 class. He's visiting Troy this weekend. Napier called him yesterday to talk to him some; the staff wants him to visit. He plans to make a decision by the signing deadline of April 1.
So he would have 2 years of eligibility? Big plus there. Though I'm not certain I wouldn't rather end up with the kid from bowling green considering his production this year.

While I think one depends on the other right now, there's no way of knowing if both aren't an option.

You aren't very likely to see anything on the DL front. What we have is what we have. While i, like everyone else, would have liked to have signed another end...we aren't going to be taking a grad transfer on the DL.

There's still plenty of time to possibly get a transfer at RB. It's too early to dismiss that.

OK recruitniks . . . Is this the consensus regarding additions to the DL for 2016? Are we probably done at these positions? No transfer or late signing?

Tiderinsider reporting we have offered Holmes C.C (MS) DT Josiah Coatney. Here is his JUCO highlight video and his 247 HS profile. Looking at his HS timeline he was rated a 92 in March of 2014 and it appears once they noticed he would not qualify they dropped his rating to a 79 in Oct of 2014. Looks fairly athletic for a DT. I do wonder why he has not been signed by somebody at this point in time.

If we have offered - IF - it must mean our staff wants him. C'mon Josiah, roll with the Tide!

Thanks TiderJ.

Well if he is qualified and they can sign him...get him onboard. Would be nice to have enough DL to rotate them like this past year and this guy could help that cause. Athletic enough it seems.....

When I first looked him up Tuesday after your post, 247 only listed his HS profile. Yesterday, it was changed to his HCC profile. Curious how he went under the radar like that.

I'm not sure how he went under the radar either. He is active and athletic in his HCC video. I'm guessing he may be an academic risk.???

Is it possible that there is no more room. That may be why no one else has come aboard. I would think at this point the ship has sailed on anymore incoming recruits for this cycle.

Yes, very possible. Of course, no one knows the exact number situation except our coaches in the know. I would expect that, true to form, our staff has/had a contingency for DR just in case since we have talent across the board. This would be an open spot for someone else if they cooled on the prospects of him coming to Bama which could be used for a walk on, an academic case that unexpectedly got the grades, a graduate transfer, a previously un-recruited player that hasn't signed for some reason that we've locked into or for use during the next cycle.

Andrew Bone just tweeted Demetris Robertson 'expected' to arrive at #Alabama this evening. Take it for what its worth I guess.
I will not hold my breath. He has cancelled several different visits in the past 30-60 days. I hope he shows up and lets us have a chance. We signed the #1 recruit in the nation in D'Shawn Hand after he met the engineering dean on his visit. I am sure Coach Saban will have a very detailed academic agenda for Demetris to review. If anyone can change somebody's mind it is our coach. Hopefully he shows.

Unless he got to Birmingham and turned around, he made it to campus. No links, just info passed along.

I don't think He'll wait til May. I just don't like how he has handled this from the start. I don't care if it was trying to get family together. He had couple of months to make this work. I pray that he'll decide to sign with us, but i'm not optimistic

I think his deadlines have been based on SAT scores on when he can get the results back. I have thought for some time we are on the outside looking in for him. I hope the visit this weekend helps our chances but it is obvious we are not his first choice.

If we offered . . IF . . Wonder what is going on with this fellow. Hoped we would have a signature by now. On the other hand, maybe our coaches are more comfortable with the way our DL is shaping up than I am. Bet they know more than I do. :)
