I am pretty sure Goldman is going to announce around signing day. Jordan Jenkins announces at the UA game though.

If I had a kid who was a legit five star, I'm afraid I'd have to advise him not to play. There have been some terrible injuries. A lot of the kids' conditioning has slipped a bit and they're playing with strangers, but, yes, the Callaway situation can also occur...
I'm still not quite sold on Collins to UA. I know his g/f situation is in our favor for now, but LSU doesn't lose this caliber of in-state talent often, especially to a rival school like UA.
I just hope they dont break up. That would be a killer. Then we have to be out of it because I am sure he doesnt want to go to a place that his ex is going.
Other than th gf thing saban is the db coach in college football, and he's been getting along well with other ua recruits,and he'll be able to compete for immediate playing time. More in our favor than just the girlfriend thing.
Because injuries are possible, I've always wondered why these prospects play in all-star games. None of them need the exposure they're usually covered up with D-1 offers. Does anyone see a time when college coaches ask commited prospects to forgo these events?
I think they should stop playing HS all-star games and revamp them into events more similar to scouting combines or skill challenges. After all the games are meaningless. There's not any sort of title or prestige on the line. Like you said they're playing with mostly strangers. It's hard to see how they even get fired up.
ESPN makes lots of money off the UA event.
I believe there was a big deal made several years ago about Mike Shula advising our recruits not to play in the AL/MS all-star game.
The players dont play every series and this is really the first time they get full national exposure. They want to prove themselves against the best of the best.

all say "Hello". and before you debate that LSU didn't want them or they weren't "elite" please referred back to archive threads, there are plenty of in-depth discussion on how LSU either slow play them or the fact that these recruits picked us over LSU. its not impossible as you think. trust me, it also won't be the last time Bama pulls these high calibur athletes from LSU territory as long as Saban and this great recruiting staff is here at the Capstone.
Collins may or may not commit to Bama, but don't ever count out Saban and crew. btw, I believe Collins comes to the good guys.

I realize we've gotten talent out of LA before, but I don't think anyone will argue with me in saying that LC is a much higher rated than any of the players mentioned. Much tougher pull than any recruit we've went after from there.
I think people forget that Nick Saban still has some pretty good connections in Louisiana and LSU country.
So....what is the latest update on Eddie Goldman? :wink:
I think Goldman would be a tough pull, but we definitely could use a big hoss in the NG position.

BTW according to this article by ESPN, Eddie will be announcing on NSD.

Some feel he will be a big DE like Dareus was and Jesse Williams is now. This is where I see him also.
The ESPN article posted by Heisman is dated 10/6 and his announcement date may or may not be what ESPN has advised.
