In-state kid from Jackson. Don't know much about him but will learn more. Looks like he played more CB in the video on 247. Welcome and RTR Jamarion!

That Jackson Alabama team is loaded with young talent. I think their QB is committed to South Carolina. I think he is a junior this coming season. May get in on a few more of their players.

Jackson has had some really good to great teams through the years going WAY back. I remember them being a force back in the 60`s.

Gordon has flipped to the Gus Bus at UCF. I'm sure the way we have recruited at CB in the 25 class and having a higher rated CB in Barney in the 26 class weighed in his decision.

It's a long, long time until he starts college. We will get back on him in the future if we wish to. Malzahn probably won't even be at UCF when Gordon graduates.

Too early to be concerned about 26 recruits flipping. Long way off on that one.

Why would someone flip from Alabama to UCF?
I could understand Auburn, Texas, OSU, etc... But UCF?
It probably just means that he is afraid of competition and wants to get a starting position right away.

This seems like classic case of creating a spot

Bama offers alot of players early to get in on them.The first big offer means alot to these kids. As the players develope we pick the ones we are really interested in. All schools do it. Gordon probably wasn't getting the attention he wanted from Bama. In steps ole Gus and turns his head. I think Gus had some players at Auburn from Jackson. One of them may have gotten in his ear.

 

[TiderJack]

With the Gus Bus leaving UCF, Gordon has decommitted and opened his recruitment back up.

Will Bama try to recruit him again?

Definitely legit ... just won the 4A state championship, almost beat Saraland at Saraland when they played this season.

Probably. We will see.
