Andre Smith Update

[Crimson Surfer]

Just to add a little anxiety to the pot, read somewhere that Andre has a Grandmother in, or around, L.A., that is trying to get him to play at USC! :rolleye2: :biggrin: :biggrin:

That info is very old news. Andre's Mother is from Southern California. Smith also has family in a whole lot of other areas around the country also. Most importantly his Father, Mother, and little brother live in Birmingham.

Any news on Coach Shula's visit with Mr. Smith this evening?

Andre has a brother that will be playing HS football on Fri night and will be wanting to see Andre play on Sat. The parents will be wanting to see both children play. What is the logical choice for Andre to keep all family members happy?

I lilke the way you think!!!!

Andre is to Bama what Tebow was to UF.....and just as important (if not more)
Of course he won't have time to recruit like Tebow has.

Well said - I enjoy giving rival fans a hard time also and would love to get into it much more but this is an AL board so I keep a lot to myself. It's much more fun in person where you get to see their reaction anyway.

We should do lunch. I won't agree with you about football, but I might like the argument. I could bring my college room-mate and double team you. He likes a good argument too. Besides the mods are about to clock me so I'll be moving on from this thread.

It does make me nervous him visiting Florida. Not that he is a lock for us by any means its just that whatever that Mayer is selling or giving down in Florida alot of players are buying or taking.

Like someone else said, Andre would just be one more Five star guy to LSU, Florida, or USC. He would be forgotten the moment he signs. but at Bama he would be the crowning jewel of not only this class but pretty much the last 4 put togather. And it took LSU overtime for their 5 star guys to beat our 3 star guys, and we all know the beating we delivered to Florida. And I got news for them, don't count next year for revenge just yet, I'm not sold on this Meyer's coaching ability at all. They were all just as sold on Ron Zook at one time.

As for Tebow he has set himself a bar so high I doubt he will ever reach the lofty expectations he has set for himself. He's already got a bulls eye painted all over him and every DL in the SEC is licking their chops. Especially since Mayers spread "panic" attack resulted in over 30 sacks of Leak this year.

You're waaaay out in left field if you think the Gator Nation was ever "sold" on the Zooker. He was swimming upstream from the get-go.

Also, it's probably not a good idea to make fun of the Gators or anyone else regarding the number of sacks they gave up.

Andre, provided he comes to Alabama, sure could have helped his/this class by an early committment.

Announcing today could still help.......but it is not in the cards.

No free video, but there is a lot of good premium video of Smith. He is dominating with quick feet and bull like strength. The video I have seen is all premium stuff. There is no free video of him as far as I know of.

TM, I remember when Zook first took over and all the lizard fans here in Maitland thought he was the second coming of SS. It just did not last long. I am hearing rumblings now that urban is not what they want - kinda like BAMA with our first 8 or 9 coaches after Coach Bryant. go figure.

I didn't run across any of those fans, the ones I know were all dumbfounded at the hire and after two lop-sided losses to Miami and LSU on top of losing to Ole Siss, they were ready to run him out of town along with Jeremy Foley.

Andre's dad now says that it is down to Bama, USC, and LSU. He says that Florida isn't really in it, but, Andre just wanted to visit with some of his friends in Florida.

Thought some of you guys could use some good news for the weekend.

music to my ears. Thanks

More good news. As I posted on the Peanut Whitehead thread, I spoke with Forrest Davis today and he is convinced Andre is coming to Bama. Andre's grandmother lives in Southern California, which is why he's shown them some interest, but his visit to LSU sucked horribly (Forrest confirmed this) and his visit to UF is a formality. He will sign with Alabama on Wednesday barring something very, very strange. Forrest also said that Andre was not the kind of kid who will have his mind changed by a trip to UF this weekend "IF he actually leaves today". Andre said he was going, but he has changed his mind at the last minute before. Does anyone know if he's actually left?

 

[Mr Hogtown]

Yep - I'd be shocked if signed anywhere but Bama. I have heard that his father is not accompanying him on his trip to UF. If he was serious about UF, you'd think his papa would go.

 

[Roll_Tide_Gal]

An "insider" from gatorsports.com is claiming that Smith's daddy is just throwing up a smokescreen and that FU has a real shot at Smith. Of course, I've seen his mouth write checks that his butt couldn't cash.

Here's the thread from gatorsports.com. I think the title should be "Pipe Dreams and Hypocrisy: The Story of Gaytor Recruiting."
