Not too much has happened as of late with the big 3. After the tsdtr camp a few weeks ago, agbarn reportedly pulled even with us on the recruitment of Caddell, which basically means it was, and still is, a 2 team race.
In regard to the other two, Swain will either end up at Bama or UT, according to a lot of the experts. I think we have the best shot to get him, but I am going off what other people(mostly at bamaonline.com) have said. There is a group over there that is very opinionated on Jackson. They believe he is coming to Bama. The reason is that 1- all the florida schools are a long way from Hoover, and 2- if he does stay in state, its pretty much a one team race. The prevailing opinion is that Jackson will stay in state. Unless Auburn makes up a lot of ground with him, he will probably end up at Bama if he stays in state. I'm not sure I agree with them that he will not go to a florida school, but they know better than me, I guess.
The general consensus over there is that we will sign two of the three(probably Jackson and Swain, as Caddell has strong tsdtr ties and did not grow up a Bama fan). This will probably be best case, but, hey, anything is possible. Another thing to look at is that tsdtr has some pretty decent receivers and the new guys would have a good chance to start for us right away.
Haven't heard anything lately on Michael Bush from Kentucky either.

There are more important things in life than Alabama football, but I can count them on one hand.
