are we in good with Shemar James? Add him and HT and we would be absolutely stacked at LB. I have friends telling me they think that he will end up at Florida, but we look good for him on 24/7. Just looking for some confirmation.

He is better than anyone currently on Alabama or Ohio State's roster. I'll take the drama.
That’s some high praise! I haven’t watched a ton of film on him but saying he’s better than anyone on our junior laden defensive line might be a stretch.

I think he’s doing it the right way by taking his visits. When he’s ready to decide he can feel good about everything each program has to offer. The only problem might be the more he waits, others are going to be ahead of him in the playbook.

There is a reason that both Alabama and Ohio State have held a spot for him. Only him. No one else in this class.

He's visiting Alabama June 25-27, his last visit out of the 5 schools he is visiting. Lots of highly ranked prospects visiting in June, including that weekend. Since Bama is his final school to visit and he plans to announce at end of June or early July, I hope this helps Bama. I know Saban will be a big influence of course, but once he starts talking to Dr. Rhea and Ballou, I think he may choose Bama. I think it will be between Bama and Ohio State. Ty Simpson and Emmanual Henderson will be there that weekend too. RTR

I kind of hope this guy stays out west, seems like a drama queen.
I don’t know if he is or is not a drama queen . He has kept his recruitment pretty tight lipped, which would suggest ‘is not’. One would think a drama queen would keep rambling on about this school and that school and posting pics of him with different team’s logo on social media. I think he is a talented player wanting to make the right life decision based on his options! COVID didnt allow him to examine the schools the way he would have in a normal year! I’m sure if he had to do it over in a normal year, JTT would choose to be on a college campus in the spring! Wherever he chooses, it will be an informed decision. I am liking our chances with CNS getting the last face to face on campus word!

I always wince when I see that a rival has the last visit with a highly coveted recruit. It`s not always, of course, the determining factor but the last impression in the psyche of an 18 year old and his parents is an advantage IMO, particularly if the school that gets that last shot is adept at " putting on the dog". Wonder what JTT and his parents are looking for in the non-football related realm?

tOSU will be tough to beat for Tuimoloau, but with Saban getting the last word, we have a fighting chance.
I'd honestly say more than just a fighting chance. It seems like OSU and Bama really are 1a & 1b at this point, as B1GTide mentioned above, and it looks to be more or less 50/50.

Larry Johnson (Ohio State) is the best D-line coach in the country, but anything is possible with Saban as the lead recruiter for Bama.

I keep hearing the very same thing about Johnson, he's the best there is. I don't see the results. I'm sure he's a fine coach but I've seen OSU over the last few years get run on frequently and often no rush. Mac had all day in the NCG and he carved them up like a Thanksgiving turkey
I know they had guys out but it's one game. Next man up and get it done. It's not easy but they get the big bucks. But it does look like this year's DL is pretty good for OSU and recruiting has been excellent.

Alabama and OSU have been 1a, 1b for about a year. Alabama is very much in the mix for him.
I`m sure that this will sound overly eeyorish, but I`ll consider this truly wide open if he leaves Columbus not having committed to the tOSU. We`re in it for ANYBODY if we can get them to campus.

Johnson's resume speaks for itself.
