I was about to ask on Cunningham. That would have been the first I've heard of AU.

So on another Alabama board I frequent this poster predicted Najee Harris would be our leading rusher next season.

When I asked if he honestly believed that some other guy came to his defense.

Where do these people come from?

ETA: Holy shite there's even one on this board in the thread below who believes this.

Some of our fanbase seem to really hate Damien Harris too.

I think they just forget about him.

But to think Harris is going to have more yards than Damien, Bo and Jacobs is just fricking stupidity.

If the spring number were correct, I think Emmons could have a nice year.

Who ends up with more rushing yards, Emmons or N. Harris?

I think Emmons if he is completely healthy.

N. Harris better learn to pass block or he won't play that much.

It's not such a far-out prediction when you factor in Bo's injury history. They'll use Jacobs in a number of roles (extremely versatile), so he could be catching a lot of passes. Damien Harris is a good back, but who knows where Najee's talent will put him in the pecking order by September. Najee could get a lot of carries if Bo gets hurt, which is, unfortunately, always a very big possibility with him.

Not saying I would predict Najee will be our leading rusher. I wouldn't. But it's not as ridiculous as you make it out to be, IMO. Based on what Rodney Orr/Redfish have said about what the staff is saying about him post-Spring, it wouldn't be a shock at all (IF Bo's health falters). It doesn't really matter, though. It's a position with such a ridiculously embarrassing amount of riches, let's just enjoy it. It's a freak show at the position.

Four-star defensive end Max Wright took to Twitter on Monday afternoon to announce his top 11.

IT'S TIME
thank you to everyone who's supported me,
Here's my TOP 11: @THSmustangfb @Hayesfawcett3 pic.twitter.com/KXCw5H5ils
— Max Wright (@maxwright2k18) May 22, 2017


Along with Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Stanford, TCU, Texas, and Texas A&M made the cut in alphabetical order.

The 6-foot-4, 270-pound Wright visited Tuscaloosa earlier this spring.

“It was fun,” Wright said. “I had a great time out there. They really rolled out the red carpet for me and the recruits there. It was a lot of fun. Alabama is a great program. You see why they’ve won so many national championships. They have the biggest weight room in the country, and it’s huge. The coaches are great. I’m really interested.”

Outside linebackers coach Tosh Lupoi recently took in the Katy (Texas) Taylor product's spring game.

Wright is rated the No. 3 strong-side defensive end and the No. 84 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.

Currently Texas A&M leads the Crystal Ball at 90 percent.

This is obviously the caveat, but assuming all three of Damien Harris, Bo and Jacobs remain healthy there is now way in hell Najee is leading this team in rushing.

As remaster said above, he has zero experience pass blocking and if he can't do that he won't see the field in critical situations or close games.
