Tigers going after Bama 4* QB commit. Was originally going to graduate early to be an early enrollee for Bama, now planning to wait until NSD before he signs anywhere. Possibly visiting Mizzou in January.

So Simpson retweets about Sparks reopening his recruiting too. A package deal cooking?

The Bolles School produces a lot of D-1 players. I doubt they flip him but establishing a relationship with Corky Rodgers is a solid move.

He is part of the 2018 class but this young man will be in town for a visit on Jan 13th.

Would make sense for him to open up his recruitment, and would make sense for him to come here.

Could RS a year, then fight for the starting job if Drew leaves for the NFL.

Its crazy but we might have a shot. Hes got to take a chance that drew is gone after next year and he will be the guy. He mentions us by name because of his interest. Saban is stocked and we are no threat to him.

He sounds to me that he can't wait to get to Bama and compete.

Sounds to me like he's pretty realistic. They have a true FR starter and a 5* guy who will enroll early.

Now sounds like Jones is sticking with Bama. Also says Kentucky and Okie lite are on him.

quote:

Missouri and Kentucky are the schools in contact with Jones the most. Both SEC schools have presented their cases to him, but he said neither have negatively recruited Alabama.

“They are just presenting their cases and showing me who’s on their roster and how it’s a good scenario for me,” Jones said. “They never bash Alabama or anything. They just tell me that I’m a good player and they’ll see how I compete if I choose their school.”

Jones will take his official visit to Alabama next month, but the date hasn’t been locked in yet. He’s already visited Kentucky before — as he was originally committed to the school — and he doesn’t plan on going back next month.

As far as a possible visit to Missouri? That doesn’t seem likely either. “I’ve had the offer for a while and if I wanted to visit, I probably would have done it by now,” Jones said. “I don’t feel like I’ll visit anywhere else.”


Huepel's oiffense would be a great situation for this kid, but who can blame him for going to Alabama, even if the competition is going to leave 3/4's of position group on the outside looking in?

And it's a smart move by Odom not nega-recuiting against Saban. That wouldn't end well.

Here's a new name. Virginia commit LB Jeremiah Owusu is looking around. He will visit Mizzou and Mich. St

Scout has a paid article about him checking out MSU, and here is a free one. LINK

RB Eno Benjamin had some potentially bad news yesterday.

UGA commit RB Toneil Carter flipped to Texas. UT is his "dream" school. He got offered by Herman, but remains uncommitted, and could still go there.

His top 6 are UT, Mizzou, ASU, Okie lite, Michigan and Utah.

NEED to get James Foster. The more I watch his stuff, the more I love him. He seems to really like Mizzou. Has solid offers as well, Tenn, usce, miss state, unc, nc state.

Jamal Brooks tweeted earlier this week that we have another commitment. Who could it be?

I figured all that talk about Mizzou being out for Thomas was wrong.

Seems that every East St. Louis recruiting story includes a little drama, but I'll believe we're out when he signs somewhere else.
