We landed a walk-on at WR/fullback

quote:

2016 receiver/tight end Mac Hereford has accepted a preferred walk-on spot with Alabama, according to his Twitter account.

The 6-foot-2, 210-pound prospect from Woodberry Forest (Va.) had interest from a number of smaller programs including Northern Iowa and Samford, but didn’t pass up the opportunity with Alabama when it was presented itself.

Hereford unofficially visited Tuscaloosa for the Charleston Southern game in November.

Well one of them I could watch, only 1 run and 28 seconds. Can't determine much.

I'm so tired of Alabama, and it has nothing to do with them beating us the last few years. I'm just tired of the media sucking them off every single day. It's went on for years, and now it's just the cool thing for the recruits to do. I know Saban is a great coach, but no one is that good of a recruiter to pull the amount of kids he does every single year. The media is at least half of Alabama's recruiting success.


To anyone who needs a little morning pick me up. From our friends over on the L5Urb.

Yeah the media was certainly singing Alabama praises after that 2007 season when we signed the best class in the country in February of 2008.

That media coverage was definitely the catalyst to that class.

Any chance we get the donkey/beach gif in the thread opener again? I think it brought good fortune.

So there is a dude over on BOL who has a nephew that appears to be a SEC-level recruit. His name is Monty Rice out of Madison, AL (James Clemens). He was offered by USCe and Muschamp this weekend and this was their pitch to him:

quote:

“He told me not to be anyone's backup plan or second choice,” Rice said. “I know that South Carolina has a good reputation with them having Steve Spurrier for so long. So Gamecock fans are going to want to win now, not later, and I think Muschamp has the ability to do that.”


I wonder who this shot was directed towards?

Rice went on to say this:

quote:

“I am hearing from Alabama and Auburn a lot. Jeremy Pruitt invited me to their junior day on February 27. Mississippi State offered me recently, too. Kentucky, Louisville and some others have offered, too.”


Here are his profile and highlights:

How many times in a recruiting cycle do you think this is used against Alabama?

A shite ton.

What gets me though, is that Muschamp is using this pitch now, 11 and a half months before NSD, when we haven't even had a chance to evaluate Rice in person.

I get it if looks like we are favoring one or two recruits at a position and are waiting on their decisions before moving on to the next group. But at this point in this class who can say who our top group is, especially at the ILB position?

Alabama offered 2017 four-star tight end Tyler Johnson from Gilbert (Ariz.) Highland on Monday night.

Johnson holds other offers from Arizona, Miami and Michigan, among others.


Tyler Johnson Highlights

ETA: Well I'm sold. He takes a punt back 90 yards on the first play of his highlight reel at 6'4" 245 pounds.
