??? What was he thinking? I think that should lock it up for us! Unless Hairball is planning a slumber party this weekend...Kirby dropped by this am.
Pea, you got that on real reliable sources? Reason I ask is because Kirby`s far too savvy a recruiter not to take advantage of an opportunity to be the last coach in.Kirby dropped by this am.
Yeah I don't see it reported anywhere right nowPea, you got that on real reliable sources? Reason I ask is because Kirby`s far too savvy a recruiter not to take advantage of an opportunity to be the last coach in.
I believe Coach has an in home with him today. All the remaining prospects high on our board are big fish but this one is pretty big.When is the in-home with Saban and is this the last big fish on our board?
Thanks. I forgot about Henry Ruggs also.I believe Coach has an in home with him today. All the remaining prospects high on our board are big fish but this one is pretty big.
He did not make the visit yesterday, was scheduled to but cancelled. Saban was there this morning.Pea, you got that on real reliable sources? Reason I ask is because Kirby`s far too savvy a recruiter not to take advantage of an opportunity to be the last coach in.
Does Saban have the last in-home? Or does Kirby?Saban in-home is today.
Coach Saban is the closer. He will have a long, detailed and personal visit with the family and convince them or not that the Capstone is their best option. He will ask them point blank what they intend to do and either get a positive or negative indication. So I do not think it really matters who has the last visit and frankly, if Coach gets a positive indication, I suspect the Solomon Family will simply tell Kirby or whoever that there is no need for further visits as their minds are made up already. Regardless, everyday is a great day to be a Tide Fan!!!Does Saban have the last in-home? Or does Kirby?
Some of these kids do not know where they are going up to the time they announce on NSD. Coach has said in the past he did not know someone was going to commit until he heard them say Bama or put on a Bama hat on NSD. Seems Aubrey will go this route.Coach Saban is the closer.

In a case such as this, the school is obviously holding a spot. If the prospect chooses another school, I would assume that it`s too late, since it`s NSD, to fill that spot.Some of these kids do not know where they are going up to the time they announce on NSD.

Very selfish on the kid's part because it affects other kids...In a case such as this, the school is obviously holding a spot. If the prospect chooses another school, I would assume that it`s too late, since it`s NSD, to fill that spot.
This point is where I point to the kid's support group / advisers. I expect a kid to not recognize this....I expect adults to recognize it and guide the kid accordingly.Very selfish on the kid's part because it affects other kids...
I don't think this one is being selfish, I just don't think him and his mom are completely sure where they want to go. I think they were after their official visit to Bama but Harbaugh's visit didn't hurt. This one is up in the air and down to two. Hopefully the closer will close the deal.Very selfish on the kid's part because it affects other kids...
We are holding a spot. In many cases, they will tell Recruit B that Recruit A is deciding and if he goes somewhere else, Recruit B will have a spot. Now at this point Recruit B can wait to see what happens or go somewhere else. You may get Recruit A, Recruit B or neither. We typically get Recruit A so lets see what happens.In a case such as this, the school is obviously holding a spot.

Certainly this is common but I think recruit A & B both know that once the fun and games of recruiting are over that if you sign with Alabama your stars and your pecking order on signing day mean jack squat when you walk onto that practice field. Everyone starts on the bottom and earns their way. The ones we typically sign are those types that reslish the chance to accomplish something.We are holding a spot.

Never seen such entitlement. Some of these kids actually act like it's their lives.Very selfish on the kid's part because it affects other kids...
Correct, but this would presume the presence of such responsible individuals in a kid`s life. Unfortunately, in some instances, that is an erroneous presumption.This point is where I point to the kid's support group / advisers.
