***DE/Jack LB Xzavier Dickson commits to Bama***

[Airborne Tider]

Great pickup! Any chance we might get another one tonight?

Still a chance. Therezie has supposedly told both staffs from AU and UA he will be committing to them although several people think he is just playing games and will be going to the Barn. We will see.

If he has told our staff he is committing to them, then that means he has a committable offer. Didn't he tell Tider Insider we were his leader a few weeks ago?

I am not sure what the last part of the first paragraph "The Bulldogs lost a big prospect to the Tide with one of their recruiters giving UGA the edge in Orlando." means? I left that out in the quotes below.

Xzavier Dickson chooses Alabama | al.com

Xzavier Dickson, the third-rated weakside defensive end prospect in the country according to Rivals.com, committed to Alabama Wednesday night during the Under Armour All-America game at Tropicana Field, choosing the Tide over Georgia.

Dickson (6-3, 238), of Griffin, Ga., projects as an outside linebacker at Alabama, and although he played with his hand in the dirt in high school he said this week he's comfortable with the transition.

Xzaier Dickson picks Alabama - ESPN

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Four-star defensive end Xzavier Dickson (Griffin, Ga,/Griffin) will leave the Peach State to play for Nick Saban at the University of Alabama.

Dickson chose Alabama over Auburn and Georgia. He is one of the members of the Georgia "Dream Team" -- a group of in-state players that were being heavily courted to come to the University of Georgia.

Instead Dickson, a 6-foot-4, 242-pounder, says he's living his own dream.

"I think Alabama has a pretty good recruiting class too," Dickson joked. "I love the coaches there and I feel like their style of football best works for me."

Dickson picks Tide over Dogs at UA game

Dickson had previously joked he may flip a coin to decide between the two schools.

"I didn't want to do it. It was too big of a risk," said Dickson, who instead, with parents by his side, donned a crimson Alabama cap.

"They have a great coaching staff," Dickson said. "With the players they have around the program, it's good. I think I'll fit in with their program."

St. Petersburg, Fla. – Georgia’s attempts at building a Dream Team recruiting class for 2011 got off to a nightmarish start here at the Under Armour All-America Game Wednesday night at Tropicana Field.

Xzavier Dickson, one of the Bulldogs’ main targets in achieving that stated goal, decided to go in another direction. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound defensive end from Griffin chose Alabama over Georgia. The AJC Super 11 made the announcement during the first quarter of this national-televised high school all-star game.

[time_4_the_TIDE]

This is a huge pick up!!!!! Now if we can close with Clowney for the opposite side of the line while although very different defenses the 2 could be the best tandem since Curry and Copeland.

THE NEW BOOKENDS!!!!
