re: RB Trent Richardson Update (1/27): Info from the LSU visit & UF in-home visit

NO RTO! You're supposed to be our voice of hope. Oh well. If the kid buys CUM's line of crap then so be it. If he really thinks he is "the missing link" in that offense he is out of his mind. First off Tebow IS that offense, period, and second that offense won a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP what are they missing?? Trent's talent will be severely wasted there. He'll end up like Moody. I hope Trent makes the right decision.

Well I know RTO and I am no RTO or TIDE-HSV for that matter, but I am not worried about Trent not signing with Bama. Meyer is a blow hard, emotional recruiter that pulls out all the stops for a prospects that he wants. I believe some of the prospects see through that type of recruiting. I think TR will sign with Bama for a lot of reasons including he said that he is still committed to Bama after the UF visit, but the most important reason is CNS. Everyone please relax, we have just two more weeks and this will all just be a found memory.

Oh CS thank you. I had almost succumb to the dark side, but you yanked me back off the ledge. I am trying to maintain my bearing but these last ten days will be trying ones.

Based on some post UF visit comments, I'm more worried about TR to UF today than I ever have been.

CUM was full of his "missing piece" comments and I can't say I'd blame any kid for listening to UF right now.

And like I've said before, it doesn't have anything to do with CLT's departure.

Dang RTO....now you got me constantly drinking coffee, smoking ciggs and nervously trembling until NSD:biggrin: You were suppose to make me feel better....don't you know I am in a fragile state of mind , man...lol....guess we will see....come on TR, roll with the TIDE:BigA:

LOL

Ok, let's put it this way....

About a month ago, I would have said 90-10% Bama. After this past weekend, I'm saying somewhere in the 55-60% range for Bama.

Put me in your camp 100%. Richardson will make things interesting, but he'll be faxing an LOI to Alabama come February 4th.

I agree with you, BET, TR may flirt with others, but the opportunity for the earliest playing time is with the Tide. He will be in Crimson next fall. RTR

Well I guess I will go ahead and say the main reason I think that TR will sign with Bama. I have mentioned all my other reasons in the recent past for believing he will sign with Bama. My main reason right now is that I think TR has too much respect for CNS, Bama, and the Bama players to throw away his commitment and sign with somebody else within 2 weeks of NSD. If he were going to jump to UF it would have been during or right after his '10' rated visit not somewhere between now and NSD. If I am wrong then I guess I will say I badly misjudged the character of Trent Richardson.

CS, there you go putting logic into words...I like the way you think!!:BigA:

I am nothing if not logical. Of course a lot of the time logic has nothing to do with recruiting so I am at a disadvantage in that regard.

re: RB Trent Richardson Update (1/27): Info from the LSU visit & UF in-home visit

I agree with you guys...I think his relationships at UA (with CNS, Julio, BJ, AJ Mc, Dre K, etc) are much stronger than anywhere else...in the end that will be what brings him to T-town.

Here’s hoping we can sign and place Lacy as well…that would be a big-time pickup for a couple years down the road IMO. I don’t think people realize how good this kid actually is because teams backed off due to his academic situation. His film is only a notch or two below TR’s…

CNS asked both A.J. McCarron and Trent Richardson not to visit UT since Thompson went up there to coach.

Richardson finalizes visits, eliminates Tennessee

The standout Escambia High running back, soon-to-be-named Parade magazine national running back of year, has finalized his recruiting trip itinerary.

The Tennessee Vols are out.

Instead, Richardson will take his final trip on Jan. 30 to Florida State for a one-day visit with two other players.

That seals the deal for me. If CNS is telling TR where to take his visits, then I KNOW TR is committed to us.

I'm wondering if Greg Reid is going to be in Tallahassee the same weekend as Trent. Hmmm...

Well guys, this makes me a lot more comfortable in the recruitment/committment of TR. I should be able to sleep well until NSD now:biggrin:

Funny that you mention sleep . If you check the board at around this hour on the eve of NSD , you'll discover several who can't

HAHA. This sews it up. After A.J.'s official when CNS asked him not to visit UT I had said, "If Trent doesn't go to UT now because Nick asked him not to, then that says a WHOLE LOT about where Trent's heart and loyalties really lie." I now have 0 doubt in my mind that Trent is Bama bound. Great news. RTR.

UT was never a real threat. It's still Pope Meyer that bothers me.

True BUT the sheer fact that TR didn't de-commit after visiting Gainesville and he won't visit Knoxville because CNS doesn't want him to tells me he is all Bama, IMHO.
