Come this way, Noel. All the family you ever wanted is waiting on you here, & I can guarantee you will be accepted by the Tide Nation.

I am with you CH. Noel loved his trip to Bama. I read the article on the premium site and it was VERY positive.

N Devine is a great player,however,it will not matter who he signs with b/c he will not get in school.Guys thats the facts,and I'm not slamming the kid. He has had way too many family problems to concentrate on studies,and besides he will commit to F$U anyway!

Can't disagree with anything you said but we can still show him some love.

I agree,I said he has had too many extra activities to get his school work done. I will say this the biggest reason I do not see him signing with Bama is Deon's influence!

It doesn't hurt us one bit to get his signature this year, and have him try to pull his grades together at prep school. If he never makes it, no loss for us. If he does, everyone wins, including Noel.

That's a good point. Why not try? Of course, I'm sure the Bama coaches are trying. It is a shame though about his scores. I understand he just retook the ACT, but he had a 13, and you don't just go from a 13 to a 19 all of a sudden. He will not qualify.

If he did indeed get a 13 the first time he took it, then, yeah, getting a 19 would be a long shot.

But qualification concerns didn't stop us from pursuing Murphy (or Mike Ford from two years ago, for that matter).

Jayson Swain didn't have a problem pulling off that trick to get into Tennessee.

Hey Bayou...........that was Ucheat. The 2 schools where academics have no problems are only Ucheat and the Barn. I would go on and say all the rest of the SEC schools try to stay within the guidelines. However,what gos on in Ucheat and the Barn usually stays there!

Neither did Jamar Horsby at UF apparently.

Regardless of whether he qualifies or not, it would be completely foolish not to recruit a kid with his kind of talent just because you don't think he'll qualify.

Re: Looks Like Devine is Out

No one thought Tyrone Prothro would qualify either.

Re: Looks Like Devine is Out

Guys... the deal about it not mattering is a load of nothing. It matters... for two reasons. First, it helps our incoming class be ranked higher. Regardless how little rankings mean to certain people, they are an important factor for coaches on the recruiting trails... and recruits pay attention to it. Second, you get the opportunity to place a guy like ND... either at a prep school or JUCO... and you see them in either one or two years. I certainly don't know about any of you, but I would be thrilled to have him in the 08 class... or the 09 class for that matter. Natural talented kids like him don't come down the pipe but every so often.

Noel Devine..........Any news???????

5*, 4.4/40........all purpose back.

We could use him in several places...returner, scat back, WR, etc.

Rivals lists our main competition as Fl St & WV.

Are we still in the running?

He would be a great fit for this team.

With his scores, nobody's in the running for him for at least a couple years.
