5* #1 QB Elijah Haven commits to Bama

[TiderJack]

This one totally deserves it's own thread. Welcome and RTR Elijah. Now go recruit a bunch of elite OL and WR.

Exciting news! I can’t help thinking, though, that there is no way Bama holds on to Seaborn AND Haven until signing day, right?

What a get. This staffs qb recruiting has been incredible

I'd bet my entire life's savings on Seaborn sticking with us. He's Bama through and through. Even in this day and age, I feel very comfortable saying we need not worry about that one. He bleeds too much crimson.

HUGE NEWS!!!

Not to be Captain Obvious, but great teams are built around the most talented QBs. A lot of fans are grinding their gears over OL improvement and RB production, which is very important, as we were reminded last year!

But this staff is loading up on elite QBs. CKD has a QB room that half the teams in the SEC combined can't hold a candle to!

And when you sign the best QBs the other stars follow like WRs and RBs and yes, better offensive linemen!

We already were leading with Sales, hopefully our next 5 star receiver, but this development certainly won't hurt either!

Interview with Elijah Haven's father about his recruitment/decision.

Two big things jump out:

CKD's recent coaching extension mattered to this family because it signaled the stability they were looking for. He said Bama and Georgia offered the best options for that!

But second, Haven's father said he grew up being a Georgia fan. Whew, I would have been sweating bullets had I know that before!

 

[4Q Basket Case]

Still gotta hold on to him, and it’s nearly 8 months to signing day.

But I’d much rather be protecting a commitment than trying to flip one.

Seaborn is a Tider for life. Kind of like Simpson.

Don't know about Sales, heard yesterday he has hired an agent, so he's looking for the bag money,Bama going to have to come off the pocket book

Sales may have an agent but he has a pool of 3 5 star and 2 4 star talents (add another 4 star in Mack) should he decide to come here. The pool of talent throwing to him plus DeBoers track record with qbs makes it obvious. Best in the nation

Yeah, I don't think most kids these days think like that, largely because of the agents.

It's dollars first, then atmosphere/support...

 

[Bama Shoals]

Since we moved down here right outside Baton Rouge a couple of years ago, we've heard a ton about Haven. I'll have to go check him out in a game at Dunham this fall. Heard he's a great player and a great kid. Good pickup! Roll Tide!

 

[JDCrimson]

Yeah, I don't think most parents these days think like that, largely because of the agents.

FIFY

Yep and Texas heavily involved for Sales so we will see if he is chasing a bag.

Elite quarterback play can cover a multitude of deficiencies. Let’s hope this guy is elite, stays committed, and DeBoer recruits well enough that there aren’t many deficiencies to cover.
