Looking at the current commits and targets, WOW. This class will be insane. I keep thinking this will be the year that recruiting falls off due to the roster but nope, they just keep on rolling in the top guys. Always seem to fill our needs and rarely miss on evaluations.

Damn, Atlas Herrion has a kid that old? He only graduated in like 04 or 05 I think.

Anyone else notice N.Harris getting caught from behind by high school competition too often in his hudl film ? I'm not sure how a RB that often gets chased down by h.s. d's is the no.1 player in the country.


Have not watched his film but that was the issue I had with K Marshall. UGA fans blasted me when I said Gurley would be the better back and that KM was over rated. He always got chased down to easy.

Last years looked just as good. Going to be tough to hang on to all the out of state guys.

Starting to notice some of these DL offers come from basketball backgrounds to switch to football late:

Akial Byers
Justin Thomas
Teair Tart-Spencer

And they all show thet can move because of said reasons.

Bo will have time to build the relationships he needs to land some of the top guys in the country. Bama has a lot to sell a young, budding DL star. "Come play for front 7 U and get taken in the first round."

I'd much rather have Deiter than this freshman. Any update on Gherig?

If Foster comes back healthy, doubt any transfer would crack the starting line up with the likes of Foster, Ridley and Stewart. Could be a top back up, though a healthy Cam Sims would likely be the first one off the bench. After those four, not much experienced players.

He's not a Freshman. He's a JUCO guy that has 3 to play 2.

You kidding me? He caught 94 balls last year. 94. He plays and plays a lot. He's Mullaney on steroids.

And Cam Sims may not even be here this Fall. Let's hope he is.

Interestingly, Dieter held the national HS record for receiving yards in a game with 437 until it was broken in the last couple years.

If he is so good, why didn't he jump to the NFL? Didn't BG run a air raid offense last year, if so of course their starting receivers will have a lot of catches. I'm not saying don't bring him in, like I stated before Bama doesn't have a lot of experienced depth at receiver. I just believe Bama's projected starters next year are better then this kid.
I don't know why Cam Sims would want to transfer, there is no depth at receiver. He will play this year, he wasn't 100% last year and still played. As long as Cam Rob is there, I don't think him or Hootie Jones are going anywhere.

You aren't going to find a big back who doesn't get chased down by the faster DB's as a general rule.

In fact, of all our RB's lately, Henry was the only one that didn't get chased down from behind constantly. Drake you could add, but he's not a big back.

I think Najee is the best RB prospect since LF7. At least I am most excited about him. Dude is violent when he needs too, and has finesse to keep them honest. I hope we someone keep him a lock for a year.

We will just have to wait and see how good he is. Put him at a lot and see how he does. I think our top 3 guys are all outside receivers
