DE Jadeveon Clowney

Getting Brown or Crowell would be great. Getting both of them would be one of the great accomplishments of the 21st century.

 

[Tidal Surge]

Very very very unlikely we get MB and IC. Here's why...

Thanks, for doing all of that 'splainin' but I already know all that stuff.
Your analysis assumes that EL will beat out both MB and IC. It also assumes that MB &/or IC are highly concerned about competing against EL for PT and/or redshirting. Things might change, but at this point, I disagree with the dogma that it's highly unlikely Bama lands both Brown and Crowell.

I understand all that but it is also a well know fact that MB wants to go where the running game is a priority. So that means he want to go where he will get to be the primary back before he's a senior. Thats just my opinion on it. And yes I'm assuming that EL will be the starter once TR leaves.

Tide Fans would be better served if both you and Tidal Surge continued this RB info exchange in the RBs disappearing thread near the top of the board.

Please try and stay on topic in the threads. It makes for easier discussion and better reading.

Thanks to both of you for you participation and interesting discussion.

88...How can anyone take off time for recruiting? I was just wondering?

Simple... I didn't visit the recruiting page, rivals, scout, or espnu recruiting at all. I had no idea what kids were coming in this year. Except for milliner, perry, and foster. That's about it. I didn't follow recruiting at all. In getting back into it now.

Ditto. Sorry. Maybe our RB-related posts could be split=merged to that thread. Again, sorry for getting off topic.

No problem. They are fine here. I just recommend any further discussion about RBs be carried on in that thread. You can cut and paste your own posts into that thread if y'all want to. If you have links in your post just click the edit button and copy the info then cut and paste it into the RB thread. No harm no foul, either way. It is up to you two if you want to do that. I can also delete/removed the posts that are moved if y'all want me to. It is not necessay but your RB posts would fit well into that discussion.

Even though this is over a month old and was written prior to Clowney naming Bama and South Carolina his favorites, this Bleacher Report article has some good info. One thing that we already know for sure is that Clowney's coach absolutely loves Alabama football.

[ame=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/412000-could-jadeveon-clowney-be-the-cherry-on-alabamas-2011-recruiting-cake]Could Jadeveon Clowney Be the Cherry on Alabama's 2011 Recruiting Cake? | Bleacher Report[/ame]

According to his coach, he has said that he has advised Clowney to look at it as a business decision. This would mean that you can't stay at home forever, not if you're hoping to enter the NFL.

"It's a business decision," Carroll said. "Barring any serious injury, three or four years down the road he could be a first-round player, maybe a top-10 pick. He could be worth $40 or $50 million overnight."

If he looks at it that way, then Alabama could certainly be high in the mix.

Or if he seeks advice from his coach, then Alabama jumps to the top of the list.

 

[BlakeSmash]

So if Clowney doesn't choose Alabama, maybe he thinks he's not up to that much competition.

Wow typical bleacher report article

Yeppers, that is why we have the disclaimer. They are nothing more than fans writing for fans, with usually more than a liberal dose of bias. lol

The best part about his coach is that he is a member of the Gamecock club for USC. Supposedly a big time GC fan. Unlike the coach for Fulton who was anti USC. That says alot coming from a coach who is a big fan of the instate school and still views us so high.

Sounds like a HS coach that can put his college team alliance to the side and look for what he thinks is best for the kids future.

ok i posted a long post in the the trey topic go check it out. But Clowney is infatuated with bama and Saban. The only reason USC is even in play is because of location. However, all the USC people are hurting themselves with this one. Honestly BAMA has the lead. Also think about this it's SABAN VS Ellis Johnson. Who U got? Also to the person saying he will commit at the all star game. Maybe or what i am hearing thats a negative and a Big negative. I have heard within the next 20 days we will know something he is tired of the recruiting process. Think of him as julio and Ro. Doesn't like the attention.

Based on some stuff he's posted on his facebook page, this scenario wouldn't surprise me at all. Then again, I guess someone can post anything they want other people to believe on a social network site. All things considered, though, I REALLY like our chances.

From a slightly better source:

Press-Register's Super Southeast 120: No laughing matter; Sunday, July 25, 2010, Mike Herndon

"He is kind of a rare breed in that he's so big and so fast and he's got a great motor," said Bobby Carroll, Clowney's coach at South Pointe. "To see him run and he's so big, it's absolutely mesmerizing."

"I'm not putting down any other program in the country, but when I visited Alabama, that's a special place -- just the commitment those guys have," Carroll said, adding that Clowney is thinking about the big picture in making his decision. "I think he wants to go somewhere that's going to prepare him for the NFL."

Sounds like a freak athlete. Hope we can get him.

 

[TrampLineman]

It would be HUGE to pull this kid in. Talk about a BEAST! My gut tells me he stays home though, but I hope its wrong as usual.

 

[ElkhartTider]

Well I hate to become the boards Facebook stalker lol but oh well.. if I can get reliable recruiting info from it I'm gonna keep doin it....

Clowney posted about 5 mins ago that "he thinks he's goin to Bama" and he can't wait to get out of here..(Rock Hill)" a woman he called mom said that she doesn't want him to go (jokingly)... lol take that with a grain of salt but it continues to look good for Clowney.

RTR!

i seem to recall a certain chris dunkley status last year before the ua aa game. but this one, i am hopeful. like you said - grain of salt.

 

[deliveryman35]

Exact quote of Ja Clowney's FB post from about 37 mins ago:

"just got back. been thinkin about my life i think im going to bama ready to leave rock hill Damn i can't wait"

TIFWIW

True.. but Dunk and Clowney obviously are two very different characters...

And thanks dman35 for the quote.. I'm on my phone.
