Alabama is starting to show serious interest in four-star ATH Beau Bisharat from Carmichael (Calif.) Jesuit, who just landed Oregon offer on Tuesday.
Sounds like the Bama coaches want Bisharat to visit soon so he can meet with Nick Saban and that they might like him as a running back.

Just watched Woody Barrett's highlights...
How he is ranked as a low 4-star is pretty unbelievable.

It's becoming harder for elite quarterbacks to delay making a commitment. Woody Barrett, a four-star quarterback from West Orange High School in Orlando, could be next to make the call.
Barrett and receiver Eddie McDoom, a three-star recruit, were visited by Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin and had Skype communication with Alabama head coach Nick Saban.
"Shoot yeah, they're in the mix," West Orange head coach Bob Head said. "Woody Barrett is real excited about Alabama. Eddie McDoom is real excited about Alabama. Alabama might be No. 1 on both their boards. The kids are real excited about it. They're really, really interested. You never know. I think Alabama is certainly a great fit for both of them."
Head said he thinks it's between Auburn and Alabama for Barrett, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound dual-threat quarterback. For McDoom, he mentioned Alabama along with Georgia, Florida and Oregon.
Head brought Barrett, McDoom and other teammates up for an Alabama visit, and McDoom earned an Alabama offer there. The group visited Alabama and Auburn in mid-March.
"I'm really liking them to (commit), maybe by the fourth of July," Head said. "Right now, it's where I was really hoping for. Woody, I think, is ready to get this process over with because as a quarterback, it's so dangerous to keep waiting. He was real interested in Ohio State, but when they got their one, next thing you know, Woody's off the board.
"I don't know if Eddie's going to be as fast as Woody, but I think Woody, right after spring practice, he'd be ready to go."
Barrett tweeted that he would commit after spring practice. The two could play together in college, but that's not set in stone.
Hard to stop a perfectly thrown Bang 8. Barrett to McDOOM for the TD. #QuarterbackNation LINK

Head said it's been chaotic this week at West Orange. He said 13 scouts stopped by Monday, 15 on Tuesday and eight more have on Wednesday. There are several more college prospects at West Orange.
"It has definitely been a zoo, which is a good thing because you've got good players," Head said. "I'm hoping they can continue what they're doing because they've had a heck of a spring so far."

BOL is going to have an update on Barrett either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Stopped watching after a couple seconds but I really hope we land him this class. Looked really impressive.

Not Bama news but Nate Craig decommited from AU...

Kiffin gonna sell him on being the next Amari Cooper.
Running backs: You'll be the next Reggie Bush.
WRs: You'll be the next Cooper.
All kidding aside, FSU is only targeting him at WR. No other prospects right now.

The knock on Barrett right now is that he is inconsistent in the camp settings. That doesn't matter much right now, as I don't see us needing him to take the field until 2018 at the earliest.
Right now I'm more interested in how he is as a recruiter. Will he be a Cornwell/Barnett? We need a spark to get this class going.

A melt about Alabama after Nate Craig decommits from Auburn and looks to be headed to FSU:
quote:
I hate my life the same way top recruits hate playing for Auburn
I vote we relocate campus closer to Atlanta and make sure some Alums in the area own car dealerships with plenty of spare chargers. Plenty of house sitting opportunities. Old fellas that give free spur of the moment deep sea fishing trips out of pure gratitude when our players and recruits just happen to be on the dock and the boat owner needs helping putting things in board. Oh, and a head coach with a pre existing friend relationship with the president of the NCAA.

Maybe Craig is what Cristobal was talking about...
Posted on 5/6/15 at 10:38 pm to Tide or Die87
Craig is from Tampa, so unfortunately not. Cristobal mentioned S.Fla
Here are the WRs that Cristobal has visited this week: Salomon, Keyshawn Young, and 2017 WR Rodney Scott and Kemore Gamble. ETA and Kevaughn Dingle (Dat name tho )

Craig Watts Jr. says that Alabama and tOSU are sticking out. He has the best relationship with the tOSU coaches, but really enjoyed his visit to UA last month. He says he's committing to the place where he can play early and has the best relationships.
He also plans on making his decision July 14 which is his mom's birthday. tOSU bound IMO.

I'm with you. Low 4 star? How is this guy not a 5*? He looked like Braxton Miller, Trevone Boykin, and Nick Marshall out there. Want badly.
