.368 with 20 RBI...Shoot in '84 my numbers were waaaayyy better than that. All that got me was a walk-on offer at Bama.:pDT_nud: on TideFans.com

Re: 5 star RB Ealy

Ok, but if he commits, does this change anything with Keilan Robinson? I know there is a rumor Robinson already signed. Anyway, it seems a gamble, but it looks like Nick is willing! I noticed he is mostly a Clemson lock. The lead on that prediction is from the Clemson board so that prediction may be skewed!

an elite back like Ealy will always have room at Bama or any other program for that matter. if somehow he commits to the Tide, I'm sure CNS will make room. regarding Robinson, I don't think this has to do anything with him. Ealy is just too good to pass up and obviously he was persuaded by the GOAT to come for a OV , that in itself is enough to cause pause esp. at the last minute!!
lastly, crystal balls and predictions ( Clemson) are fun and all , but its not 100%.

Shoot, If he is drafted, he could pay his own way and free up a schollie... ;)

Agree! Getting him on campus is significant...

I know all that, of course he is a take. but thanks for explaining! But Nick is still recruiting others hard. Just wondering out loud how to fit him in. Does that mean Robinson is going to blueshirt? Is he eligible to BS since he took an OV in December? Looking like Nick is saying screw the NCAA, we are taking 40 this cycle.;).

BTW, Huff was his primary recruiter at Miss St. has to be a plus.

If we`ve learned nothing else it`s that if the staff gets a kid on campus, we always have a chance. I also think that one of the things behind the scenes is the excellent assist that the program gets from the faculty. Personally, I wonder if they get enough credit. Everybody is on the team and has his/her role.

Don't worry about the numbers, Saban,and staff will figure out the numbers. Recruiting is a lot more fun to watch when you don't get tied up in that end

I saw on Roll Bama Roll , where they surmised this weekends prospect visits, the article said to not be surprised if we go over 30 this cycle, and maybe ink 35. Don’t question it, just trust the process

I am not sure how you get to 30, much less 35, in this cycle. Even Saban can't make 2+2 = 3

The most Saban has taken at Alabama was 32 in 2008, and many of them were because several Shula players left. Don't see how Alabama could get to 35 at this point. 30 is possible since the current class is at 28 (24 are signed).

Trimming? Maybe coaches aren't the only ones being asked to look elsewhere?

Re: 5 star RB Ealy

I’m just summarizing the article on SB nation-
If you have read this far (thank you), you are probably wondering “wait a minute. Alabama has 24 commits! How can they add ALL these guys?”

24 signed + 4 committed unsigned = 28

Word is Alabama will take all three of Byron Young, Ish Sopsher and Nathan Pickering if they commit = 31.

Bama needs a tight end and might just take Ealy to keep him away from Clemson = 33.

They could take both To’oto’o AND Heimuli but will definitely take at least one = 35.

This is one of those moments where you have to trust in the Process®. Saban appears to have everything completely in his control to bring together possibly the greatest Alabama recruiting class ever. Don’t be surprised if this Crimson Tide class hits the big 3-0 or goes over.

Hold onto your Houndstooth hats. It’s about to get crazy up in here.

Of course , if it’s on the Internet, it must be true!

Re: 5 star RB Ealy

This number of potential targets along with the already committed speaks to a total rebuild. It's likely a good many of our players will be encouraged to move on above and beyond those graduated and early draftees.
