Ryan Bartow had this to say about Chidi:
If his grades are so bad why even move up to 2015?
quote:
Long shot to qualify (even a year from now) given the low test score and many core classes still needed.
The transcript (from Nigeria to Champagnat Catholic in Hialeah, Fla. to the current school in metro Atlanta) has some question marks as well.
Best case scenario for the kid, from multiple contacts, is to re-classify to 2016 and then perhaps, maybe, in a year or so he could have the needed academics to qualify, maybe.
Could have to take the JUCO route.
If his grades are so bad why even move up to 2015?

That great to know. Kidding him and Rico would really be a bitch.

Everytime Hamm writes something about a recruit, it's always positive in regards to A&M, he always makes it seems like A&M has a chance no matter what. When BOL puts out nuggets, if they think we wont have a chance with a recruit they will say it.

They just published them. I'll summarize.

quote:
-Nobody knows what the frick CeCe Jefferson is going to do. They wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up at Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss or Florida.
-Calvin Ridley has shut down the interview process, but only because he is “Solid to Alabama and there is nothing more to say.”
-Isaiah Prince agreed to not take further visits when he committed but still went to Ohio State this past weekend. Saban and Cristobal will have an in-home visit with him today to try to iron out the situation. No prediction on a flip.
-Drew Richmond will visit Alabama and Tennessee this weekend. If Saban is not happy with the Prince situation they may turn up the heat.
-They expected Chidi to commit to Auburn had he announced last night. They think he will reclassify back to 2016, but some sources close to Chidi think he makes the grades when it is all said and done. Cristobal will visit him this week and the staff will monitor the situation.
-It appears Charlot is back firm with Alabama.
-Alabama would still like to add another WR to go along with Ridley and Charlot. Napier is visiting KJ Hill tomorrow. Numbers are tight so the staff would prefer Hill make a quick decision.
-They think Godwin is going to be a tough pull, but Saban may visit him this week. Godwin is scheduled to be in Athens this weekend.
-The first Junior Day event will be this weekend. They expect Demetrius Robertson to be there and recruiting for Alabama. Ben Davis will be there as well.
-Saban and Kirby were in Atlanta yesterday checking out Nigel Warrior, Tre Lamar (beast) and 2017 prospect Jaden Hunter (he was offered yesterday too).
Nothing too surprising. I'm stoked for Junior Day this weekend though. It'd be nice to wrap up Davis this early in the cycle.

I think I'm more excited about Junior Day

Thank you kind sir.

Florida coaches are expected to visit Adonis Thomas today.
Kirby will also be visiting him today.
Kirby will also be visiting him today.

Mag paraphrased this over on TSWSNBN. I'd do it but he put it in such a nice format already.
quote:
Bone's Insider Report, released at 3:41 AM:
*Bama found out late Saturday about Isaiah Prince's visit to tOSU,took them by surprise as he told them he wouldn't make the visit.
*Cristobal did not visit Prince on Monday, but will instead in home visit with HC Nick Saban on Tuesday.
*The given reason as to why Prince visited tOSU is that he had made a previous promise to visit them and wanted to make good on it.
*Prince's father and HC both expect him to sign with Bama, but they will not prevent Prince from making his own decision.
*Prince is a favorite of cristobal, will used tomorrow to see where Bama is at regarding the LT position.
*Cristobal's visit with CVO went very well Monday, decided that it was best to hold off committing until a few days before NSD.
*Bama is trending for CVO, has lead for him over the last few weeks. Bama is still looking at his transcripts to see if he can qualify.
*Will likely not take his commitment if his chances are grim.
*Not sure he's a take still, will depend on what ultimately happens with Prince. Otherwise, the numbers and his qualifying questions will likely keep him out.
*Would have picked Auburn tonight if he has went through with it, has a spot available in their class.
*Drew Richmond spoke with Cristobal Monday, looking to take officials to both Ut and Bama this weekend.
*Most likely to be Charlot and Hill at WR. Bama will in home with Hill Wednesday and a decision may come this week with Wednesday being circled.
*There was a point where Bama had a great shot to flip Terry Godwin, but their chances actually decreased the more he visited. Official gave them a boost, but likely not enough to trump UGA.
*CeCe Jefferson's Bama visit was a surprise, even to his own HC.
*Tosh Lupoi has put in a ton of work with Jefferson over the last few weeks and spent a lot of time with him Sunday. Will meet him again Tuesday.
*Jefferson is hard to figure out, no one knows where he's going but Jefferson himself.
*This weekend marked his 10th Bama visit.
*Bama is definitely in it, he's been made a huge priority of late. They want a passrusher to finish the class.
*Lupoi spent time explaining how much 43 Bama runs against the spread and aren't a 34 team base anymore.
*Will meet with all the schools on his list this week, and then break it down into a final decision.
*Would likely be a Gator right now if not for the coaching changes. New staff wants him to official, but he's been adamant that he doesn't need to see UF.
*This is Lupoi first major target as OLB coach.
*Saban had an in home visit with Tyron Wheatley Jr Monday along with Coach Bobbeh.
*Thought is Jr will sign with Michigan as his father was hired there, but Rivals' Michigan affiliate does not expect that to happen.
*Wheatley will take an Oregon official this weekend.
*Presumed he favors west coast schools, as UCLA and USCw have long been mentioned as favorites. Though UCLA seems to be out with their recruitment of him as a DE.
*Bama and USCw are recruiting him as a TE, and are likely his top schools.
*His recruitment is really quiet because he doesn't do interviews much. Bama has been on him for a long time, Bobbeh has done a great job recruiting him.
*Bama has not backed off in interest, as evident in Saban's in home visit.
*TD Moton and Montrell Custis are both mutual partings best for both parties.
*Rico McGraw is still expected to flip to UGA. They have been hard after him, while Bama has essentially conceded him with reduced effort of contact and visits.
*Bama still wants him, but they see the writing on the wall.
*If all 3 flip, it means they all flipped back to the schools they were originally committed to.
*Despite holding communications with FSU, Minkah Fitzpatrick talks with Bama on a daily basis. Kirby Smart visited Sunday and Minkah told him he was solid to Bama. Will be a surprise at this point if he flips.
*Mekhi Brown is getting attention from Louisville and Notre Dame, but isn't expected to flip. Same goes for Hale Hentges and Mizzou.
*No questions on McMillon, Thomas, Ridley, or SBB.
*Sources say Kendall Sheffield is solid with Bama.
*Prince Tega has not been contacted since Bama visited Thursday. Offer is possible, but heavily dependent on the numbers.
*Derrius Guice may be turned away for an official, they have no interest in another RB.
*Ryan Davis is not expect to visit at all.

Not possible. Aubs have said that its only Alabama mods that are mentioning Chidi's academic issues because they have some agenda against him.

I hate that we are going to lose McGraw. 
Posted on 1/27/15 at 10:21 am to TideSaint
It sounds like the best option for Chidi is to stay in the 2015 class and go to JUCO this fall. Even if he reclassifies to 2016 he may not qualify especially with questions coming up about his transcripts from Nigeria. Go to JUCO and graduate and it all behind you. If he waits until next year and still has to go to JUCO we may not see him at a DI until 2018. Go JUCO this fall and we may see him in the SEC 2017.
