Re: ***2017 JUCO DE Isaiah Buggs Commits to Bama***
make no mistake folks, this is a huge pick up. not only does Buggs fill a position of need and most likely will contribute next season , but Bama essentially went into LSU backyard once again and snagged the top Louisiana prospect . getting Moses and Allen was awesome, but Bama was already having an impressive haul at LB even without the La. guys. Buggs has been an LSU lean since high school and even when he went the JUCO route he was still a LSU lean. Bama sent Coach Burns, Dunbar, and Pruitt to see him and eventually a home visit from the master himself and that was the nail in the coffin for LSU. the uncertainty in their coaching staff was one of the reasons Buggs cited why he chose Bama over the tigers.
the LSU mods and posters are not even trying to disguise their meltdown over this loss.
some other scouting services have him rated a 5 star, watching his highlights, it's understandable why some services think so. He is a taller and bigger Jonathan Allen at this point. he's only a sophomore, class of 2015.
With our proven record of developing defensive players, Buggs can be elite. his current size has room to grow and he can be effective in our 3-4 schemes as a DT. if he stays as is ( 6'4 280-290 lbs range) he will play DE.
