Ward is saying that he 'thinks' Bama may offer him a grayshirt. I do not believe it has anything to do with CK. I personally think that Ward is on the back burning for a possible opening with a grayshirt offer but Bama has not told him anything according to the AJC article today.

I don't think we're really "back on" Ward. I don't think he ever had a firm offer, nor do I think he has one now. I think we'd probably take him as a greyshirt, but I imagine we would have done that all along. I think if the latest from Ward means anything, it is that he is at least somewhat seriously considering a greyshirt offer to 'Bama.

Regarding Cyrus, there are no doubts or concerns. He's coming to 'Bama, and everyone knows it.

Pretty cool that he'd be willing to take a greyshirt to Bama IMO. I thought he still had a solid offer from the Barn?

Anyone read the post on Bleacher Report saying Cyrus to USC?

Cyrus Kouandjio: USC Will Add to its Surging 2011 Class With 5-Star OT Commit | Bleacher Report

This inaccurate article isn't worth the tiny bits of cyberspace it takes up. Within the last hour ESPN is reporting that Kouandjio has eliminated USC from consideration.

Jamie Newberg (JNewbergESPN) on Twitter

CraigHaubert Just spoke w/ #1 OT Cyrus Kouandjio who told me he has eliminated USC from consideration-He is now focusing on Bama, Iowa, Auburn & NM Lobos

Kouandjio's official visit to Iowa this weekend is back on.

 

[Tweeder]

He is coming to Bama no worries

 

[bamabelle1991]

I really love this guy and hope he joins his brother at Bama. They are both so well spoken and mature for teenagers. I love seeing kids like these two come to Bama!

Being that he is sure to be in Crimson, could he be teasing the Barn by giving them a visit?

 

[BigBama]

I might be need to duck after making this comment but you can't blame any offensive lineman for looking at Auburn with all that they lose on their line next year.

 

[BigBama]

If I didn't want him to come here so bad I would be pulling for the Lobos. Just cause it is so weird...

Haha I was actually thinking the same thing!

 

[Bamafan P.T.]

pretty odd list IMO. Makes me feel pretty confident he's coming here. Kid could go anywhere he wanted to. Iowa and Auburn wouldn't top my list of places to check out.

 

[rolltide2213]

he's vistiting auburn? no telling what they'll offer him.

Ok, 20 pages and I haven't seen this posted anywhere. How do you pronounce his (and his brother's) last name? Ko-Juan-Jew or maybe Ko-Juan-Geo?

Kwan-dro. someone posted that last year when we were recruiting Arie and that is how the ESPN guys pronounced it at the UA game.

Ah, makes sense! Thanks Bamabelle!

So does anyone with access to scout have a synopsis on how his visit with Stoutland went tonight?? Bone tweeted about it earlier.

Don't think Cujo is worried about competition. He will get early PT wherever he goes and I just can't see him wanting to be across the field from his brother in the IB. He will also want a ring just like his bro's.

BOL updated that it went well. He said that 1 coaching change at this point wont make much of a difference. I tell ya though... I'm really confident about Cyrus until I read his articles where he makes it seem like such an open race. Anyone share my frustration?

 

[CrimsonEyeshade]

What he says has been interestingly and consistently circumspect from the start. Suffice to say, he must be taking a much different tone in private.
