I said no in another post. But things have changed. Put me down as a yes.Does everyone think we will get Trey Sanders.

I have not heard anything. Would love to have him but I'm also thinking UGA. I did see where he has gotten with a media source to produce a commitment video so I guess if you transfer you get a second commitment announcement.Anybody heard anything about Demetris Robertson from Savannah? Set to announce Saturday. I'm thinking UGA, but he was committed to us at one time before going to Cal.

I really hope Dean comes to Bama. When I read he was more afraid of making a "B" on a grade v. a player, I knew he was a sharp fella and probably a well grounded young man to boot.This would be who I would hope and think we have a good shot at and I'm assuming we are going to have 9-10 spots.
RB
5* Trey Sanders
WR
4* Pickens
OL
5* Clay Webb
5* Darnell Wright
TE
I think we take a big TE but don't really know that will be at this time
DT
5* Ishmael Sopsher or
4* Siaki Ika (he may have moved ahead of 5* Tuitele on our board)
DE/OLB
5* Kayvon Thibodeaux
ILB
5* Nakobe Dean
4* Vonta Bentley
DB
4* Nick Cross
4* Davonte Lee or
4* Jeffrey Carter
5* Daxton Hill (hope we can get him out of OKie but don't think we do)
So is Sanders is big, but who would he compare to? Maybe a Derek Henry or another big back?I said no in another post. But things have changed. Put me down as a yes.
Could be thinking of someone else, but I think he wants to study an engineering field (?). Pretty sharp young man.I really hope Dean comes to Bama. When I read he was more afraid of making a "B" on a grade v. a player, I knew he was a sharp fella and probably a well grounded young man to boot.
Well, obviously we physically don`t have room for all of these guys, unfortunately, but if we fill out our remaining slots, especially if that includes Sanders, Dean and Webb IMHO, I`m not sure anyone will catch us for # 1 class, however important that might be in reality. Man, that was a long sentence![/QUOTE]
It is the time of year for self-reporting minor violations...
He reminds me of a quicker/shiftier Ezekial Elliot with Todd Gurley Power/Speed.So is Sanders is big, but who would he compare to? Maybe a Derek Henry or another big back?
Thought I saw someone say Sanders weighs 240. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.He reminds me of a quicker/shiftier Ezekial Elliot with Todd Gurley Power/Speed.
He's in that 6'1 200 range with a 4.5 40.
Not big like Henry who was like 6'3-6'4 240.
[/B]Thought I saw someone say Sanders weighs 240. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.
At any rate, if he has the qualities you speak of, he'll be good wherever he goes. If he comes to Bama, he could easily be our next Bama RB that wins the Heisman.
You did and that is not right. His profile says he is 6' and 216 lbs. Similar build and style to Kenyan and has good vision and breakaway speed.Thought I saw someone say Sanders weighs 240. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.

So did hand before he understand the rigors of engineering and college football. Our engineering dean is exceptional routinely beating out mit and Harvard at robotic competitions. He has got us a few players like hand as well.Could be thinking of someone else, but I think he wants to study an engineering field (?). Pretty sharp young man.
We have a better shot than most think. Stevenson as well.I am too but don't see it happening. Same with Noland Smith.
You`d absolutely have to be an EXCEPTIONAL scholar and athlete to negotiate an engineering curriculum AND play major college football. Not saying they`re not out there, but they`re a miniscule minority, I would submit.So did hand before he understand the rigors of engineering and college football.

I had him for a Numerical Methods class in 1994 when he was in the Engineerig Mechanics department. I had done very little programming and it was a 500 level class. I spent a bunch of time in his office because the class was kicking my butt. He seems like a pretty neat guy.Agree 1000000000%...I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm just saying that it's impossible. I watched 3 players walk into our freshman engineering class (one of whom played in and now coaches in the NFL...SUPER smart player and student). They were in there for 3 weeks. Next thing I know, they're in the business school..
Here's one of the main reasons why: Most engineering courses have an accompanying lab that is required for the course. The lab times are almost never the same day or same time slot as the class. So it's like having an extra class. So you're taking a 90 minute class plus a 120 minute lab for 3 hours of credit. And that's just one class. It stinks. So that on top of the fact that being a D1 athlete is basically a full time job.....again...I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm just saying it's impossible.
Chuck is a good salesman though. He's doing what's asked of him.
My crew doesn't care too much for him. LOL. When he was named Dean,the first thing he did was dissolve our department (Industrial Engineering). Richard Shelby was cutting checks around that time and they erected a science building in his name (that was less than 15 years ago and the building already looks outdated). And then he created a department that was "encouraged" by Shelby's team to replace the IE department. Something along the lines of Construction Engineering. I didn't care too much. I was trying to get out the door and start my life.I had him for a Numerical Methods class in 1994 when he was in the Engineerig Mechanics department.

The numbers always work out and people leaving for NFL or other teams every year. We don't know everything about who is or isn't on scholarship.The BOL guys continue to say Alabama takes around 28 guys.
Going by the best count I can get, Alabama has 83 scholarship players after the Cowan and Davis news. There are 12 or 13 seniors on the team (Holcombe makes it 13). I don't expect 13 guys to declare early for the draft, so we're going to see some more departures before the 2019 season starts to make room for all of the guys signing.
Now, some of those guys might be asked to either grey or blueshirt. We'll need to keep that in mind.
