I didn't know if any of you guys saw this or not, but AJ McCarron was quoted as saying after one of the practices for the Army All-American Game that next year at Alabama he would be rooming with D.J. Fluker and someone he couldn't mention yet.

Obviously, Mr. McCarron knows something we don't know. It would be nice if it were a surprise like Reuben Randle, but more likely it's probably someone like Tana Patrick. Either way, it does go to show you that there are things known behind-the-scenes that simply do not get made publicly available.

Truth be told, with many of recruits left on the board, though not all, the people actually inside the recruiting process itself already know exactly how things will unfold from here. I know some recruits love to play this whole "everybody is still equal" business right up until the very end, but for the most part this late in the game -- after, with most recruits, being recruited by all of these schools for over a year -- it's all over but actually putting the ink down on the paper come NSD.

FWIW - AJ and Rueben were rooming together in San Antonio.

Actually Randle roomed with Ronnie Wingo.

AJ was with Fluker.

Nico was with Tana.

Dre was with Kelly.

It was mentioned on BOL board that Fluker said AJ spent waaaay to much time on his hair.

The rumors were that McCarron was rooming with Randle, but from what I've read Randle is actually rooming with Barkevious Mingo, the Louisiana linebacker prospect who is widely expected to eventually commit to LSU.

Either way, I wouldn't read much into any pairings. The pairings are often assigned on a random basis, and frankly it's almost impossible to ever get any firm factual basis to determine who is actually rooming with who. It's pretty much a waste of time trying to read anything into it.

The bottom line is, all that notwithstanding, that there is a prospect left on the board right now that is currently committed to us that we do not know about yet.

Well of course it is going to be Massie as AJ is trying to make sure he is good friends with his two BIG bodyguards! :biggrin: He will be going broke ordering pizzas though.

I don't know exactly what DM was getting at, but I can assure you that Nico Johnson is as solid of a commitment as you can get.

He's just a diehard Alabama supporter, and he's the kind of guy we'd get regardless of who was head coach. He even said so the other day in San Antonio, that he'd definitely still be at 'Bama even if Saban weren't there.

If you don't think Johnson is a firm commitment, go ask Chris Davenport, he can tell you.
