2020 Prospect: 5* TE Arik Gilbert

[TiderJack]

We do not have a thread on him and thought I would start one since he said today he has a leader in mind and we got two CB's from him with one being from Shannon Terry. Looking good.

Indeed, things are trending Alabama's way for Gilbert. Clemson has moved up as well. It's more of a Bama vs Clemson battle right now for him. Alabama is in the driver's seat and he's Alabama's to lose. Things have slowed down on the Darnell Washington front so take that for what it is worth.

Mr. Gilbert, you have my permission to commit. Please proceed accordingly.

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Would love to have him................He would look good catching TDs from Taulia, Mac Jones, Paul Tyson and Bryce Young

 

[CBbama]

Bone says Bama is in drivers seat then two CB today for Gilbert.
Roll Tide.

A BOL premium article today is suggesting he may commit sooner rather than later and I think it will be good news for us.

Arik Gilbert will be announcing his commitment tomorrow, October 23rd at his All American jersey presentation. As of right now, I would predict Gilbert to Alabama. If any new info comes out to the contrary, I will be sure to update.

Feeling good about this one. Come on over to Title-Town Arik.

Great news! Imagine how much more dynamic our offense could be with another great TE!

Really hated to see that UGA got his last visit. Always felt it was an advantage to have the opportunity to make the last impression. Kirby may be a snake but he can flat recruit.

What time is the announcement?

 

[TiderJack]

What time is the announcement?

He is announcing between 5:00-6:00 CST at the College Football HOF in Atlanta for his all-star jersey presentation. FWIW, lots of CB's coming in for Bama.

I believe this will be Saban's payback for Clay Webb last year. Also hoping Jordan Burch will be Saban's payback to Dabo for Justyn Ross. Coach does not like someone coming into Alabama and taking our best players.

Webb eh we wanted him but not nearly as bad as Gilbert. UGA & BAMA made Gilbert #1 on their respective boards for TE (some have him #1 overall) Ross wanted Clemson and got his families wishes after telling bama he was coming. I still rather have Waddle though and extremely happy with who we have. I'm willing to bet our entire Wr core will play in the NFL. Shavers will get his chance next year and waddle will be a focal point.
