Final Pre-NSD Recruiting Update

[Highway59]

It would be nice to have a "surprise" addition to the class tomorrow, and the kid from Auburn would be a surprise in my book. My hope is that there are not any defections from the expected class that would qualify as a bad surprise. If all stay on board with their verbal commitment, well what a class on paper this will be. And I hope after a couple of years they will prove to be something special on the field. Not much drama........Good

We'll have a hat on the table, but absolutely no one thinks there is a real chance. You're talking meteor strike odds here.

Two of the three (or was it four?) academic questions will not sign with Bama tomorrow. Does NSD get fairly interesting for Bama or does it go as planned with the only "drama" coming from Evans?

The latter. If O.J. Smith goes elsewhere, the reality is that we just don't have any replacements lined up. The class is essentially 96% done, so there just isn't any room for late movement.

I thought we needed another DB/S in this group, was hopeful M Boston would be the one. Perhaps the DBs on the team will play better with the coaching change.

Or maybe a good surprise tomorrow! Maybe both.

Hope so.

I heard on the local sportscast that the Barn was Boston's dream school and he jumped on it as soon as they offered. If this is true, I don't see us flipping him.

With Smith out, does this help our chances with Elisha Shaw?

My question, while the answer may well be no one, it there anyone left on our commitment list that is not 100% bama (could do a signing day switch elsewhere)?

FWIW, there are some guys out there saying that Shaw will likely be part of this class. I don't know if he will be asked to accept a greyshirt or if we sign him and take a chance on his recovery if we miss a few of the remaining targets.

? Is Evans a must have or can we really afford to lose him.

OK now we have OJ might not getting a LOI from Bama and Williams thinking he has made a rash decision.

The question implies he was ours to lose, so just wanted to clear it up. I'd be surprised if he doesn't sign with the barn. He's been considered a lean there for a while (the gap between us and them has closed, but we've probably always been behind). We have made up ground, but he's never been ours to lose.

our class is likely #1 on all the major services. He doesn't make or break our class. He would be a great addition andy likely early contributor, but our class is very complete and very highly rated as is.

Well I didn't mean to imply the "ours to lose" but rather if we don't get him it could hurt Alabama in having the #1 class overall all though I think we will no matter what at this point.

We will have the #1 class no matter what Evans does. We had that wrapped up a few weeks ago, and that won't change. It would just be "the rich getting richer" as everyone likes to say if we land him, which I hope we do.

We are way ahead of everyone in the rankings and no one is catching us even if we do not get another commit.

covered that in first post

 

[bamacpa]

Wouldn't Williams for Smith be a pretty good trade for us at this point ? Seems DL is deeper than our secondary right now.

 

[TheRealPokeChop]

Derek Kiefs school has been closed tomorrow due to weather, won't sign until Thursday,
