How confident are y'all in lyndell Wilson and Ben Davis? Some LSU fans think we have a shot at one of them but I don't see it. Do you guys think they are a lock to stay in state or will they make you guys sweat until the end?

I think we are extremely confident on landing both Wilson and Davis.

Ben Davis's recruitment will go the same as Marlon Humphrey's, only replace FSU with LSU:

Ben Davis will wait until the end, rumors will fly that he silently committed to LSU, only for Davis to end his recruitment going where everyone thought he would go. He will replace Reggie Ragland at LB next year.

Mack Wilson has been recruiting for us.

I highly doubt we land either, much better shot with the Texas LBs, Joyner, R. Smith...

Divinity I'm considering basically a commit right now

I expect Ben Davis' recruitment to go much like Hump's. Lyndell will follow him. Bama is good at keeping top tier legacies.

This is exactly my feeling. I think it's going to be difficult to sway Jackson from Texas but hopefully they tank this year and it turns him away from them.

Auburn is #2 for Davis. He loves Muschamp. It doesn't really matter though because he is all Bama. Wilson is all Bama as well.

It appears Fornette has a strong relationship with Lydell Wilson...we'll see how it all plays out

Fournette also spent the day before his commitment hanging out with Alabama commits. These players can be friends without going to the same school.

I don't see Wilson going anywhere else but Bama. When is the last defensive player that left Alabama that UA really wanted?

Where is the confidence coming from with LSU?

Dk that's what I'm wondering. LSU fans feel like we have a much better shot at Davis because he said he grew up a LSU fan, Steele was his recruiter when he was at bama I believe so there is a relationship there and the fact that we will have about 5 LB's on roster next year.

Lots of rumors swirling from multiple insiders on both our premium and free boards. The Buga(the Player not the poster) and Wilson stuff is just Wilson giving props to a great player. The Davis rumors are what everyone is tuning in to. Maybe more than rumors, and they just be rumors and reading too much into things. Too early to tell.

With Steele and O though who the F*** knows what they are up to.

What are the rumors specifically? Rumors that he is a silent? Rumors that LSU leads? Rumors that he wore LSU socks last Thursday? What is it that your insiders are saying?

All I've been hearing so far is that we have a much better shot than most think

I can't see pulling one 5* LB from Alabama, much less 2. I'd have to see it to believe it. Would be amazing, but I'm definitely not expecting it.

I read an article a while back where Davis' dad said he won't force the issue, but he really wants his son to go to bama. I think LSU fans are kidding themselves if they think they have a good chance at the kid

Personally, I would be shocked. If early playing time is a factor, LSU can definitely offer that though.

I would be shocked if both ended up anywhere but Bama. It will have been a hell of effort for LSU pulled it off and get one.

Bama loses 3 starting LBs after this season, which will give some young guys a shot at early playing time. Ragland is gone, and even though Lee is a starting OLB, he's also a top backup at ILB.

I doubt either could walk in and beat Shaun Dion Hamilton for the incumbent spot alongside Reuben Foster, but one could very well take the #3 spot like many freshman have before...

Well you see rumors are gossip or hearsay, so I wouldn't worry about understanding them further.

No he seems more extroverted.

quote:

Rumors that LSU leads?

LSU leads many categories. Those aren't rumors.

quote:

Rumors that he wore LSU socks last Thursday?


I can assure you this is not the case. It was on a Sunday.

Can't imagine either of those guys leaving the state of Alabama but our LB depth chart for 2016 is mighty enticing. We may lose all starting LBs and we have signed two LBs still on the roster in the last two classes.

Still, they're not leaving Alabama without some crazy unforeseen circumstances.

You come up with this garbage every year, how LSU going to steal one from Bama on this site and the other place. We laugh at you every year,including this one.
