Re: 2008 Alabama Commitments and Prospects List (Updated)

4 star WR Jarmon Fortson is an Auburn soft commit. He is going to take an official visit to Alabama on Jan. 11th. Bama is recruiting him as an athlete.

Bama Mag: Jarmon Fortson Profile
Fortson's Alabama visit did not happen. He visited Auburn instead and reaffirmed his commitment.

Auburn lands 20th commitment after big recruiting weekend
Wide receiver Jarmon Fortson of Carver High School in Columbus, Ga., put to rest any talk of his commitment to Auburn not being firm. Fortson announced his commitment in December. He teamed with quarterback DeRon Furr to lead Carver to a 15-0 record and a state championship. Furr has already enrolled at Auburn.

Asked if his visit solidified his commitment, Fortson said "Pretty much I did, but I was already committed. When I committed, it solidified me."

What do yall think of the 2008 Commitments? Offense & Defense Wise? I think we will be in the Top 5 Defense. Offense Top 10. I think our Commitments is very strong the question is will players start to leave just because Major Applewhite had to go west to Texas what was up with that? Sounds to me that was done on purpose just to hurt the tide. :mad:

Unless things go horribly wrong Bama will most likely at the very least finish in the Top 5 in the overall team recruiting rankings and possibly finish with the # 1 overall class if things go really well on NSD.

I've always felt Bryant would stay in Tallahassee but in all honesty I'd rather have Lawerence over Bryant.

Mike Scarborough of Tigerbait.com (RIVALS)
stated on the radio, locally on 1210 AM, T.J. Bryant has an unofficial visit to Florida St. this weekend.
Miami, LSU, and Fla. State are his top choices.
Bama is a long shot.
Miami is in the lead.
He feels FSU might get him to give a soft verbal.
It does look good for FSU to get him the last weekend before signing day.
Are you going out of your way to upset people with the way your signature is configured?

It is called a fly-by. Just because someone has something written in their signature that does not make it truthful. :pDT_ink:

I will say one thing about his signature besides it does not belong in a post on a Tide Fans board. That is, it is a fact that JaMarcus Russell called CNS to thank him immediately after he was chosen # 1 in the NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders and not CLM or Jimbo Fisher. :cool:

Saban's imprint already felt at Alabama
Gilberry got a call the next morning from Russell.

"You guys got a coach," Gilberry said Russell told him. "He said he's going to get the best out of you. He said he made him (Russell) a first-round draft choice. And all we talked about was this fourth-quarter conditioning program."

Gilberry then got Russell, the first round pick of the NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders, on his cellular phone and gave it to this reporter.

"I told Wallace he better be ready," Russell said. "And I told him they'd start winning."

No doubt UA is closing in to Top Class In History.

Well T.J. Bryant is not even considering Auburn. His list of five favorites are Alabama, FSU, LSU, Miami, and USC. He is pretty much a toss up but some are saying that Bama has a chance.

Re: 2008 Alabama Commitments and Prospects List (Updated)

To get Bryant, Harris, Jones and Ingram it will also be something of a shame to miss the guys who'll have to GS to make everyone fit. OTOH, an extra year of conditioning for those guys never hurt anyone :biggrin2:
