Is Christian Miller still visiting UGA?
He told BOL today he might cancel the visit. This week has helped him feel more connected to the Bama recruits, and he started recruiting for us there, too.

Because UCLA took Toran I guess. You shouldn't have to take a Boise state level prospect to land a Zach Whitley. Especially since Whitley committed to us back in May, this shows they only took Toran to get Whitley. Can't these kids make individual decisions anymore? Are kids not taught the value of making their own decisions anymore? I am sorry but the teammate thing is started to seem like such a BS tactic. Especially in the day and age of the 247/365 (not the site specifically) recruiting cycle. Kids today recruiting starts when they are a Sophomore and ends when they sign. They spend most of their summers going to camps, and most of their winters going to school visits and working with private trainers. The truth is blue chip recruits rarely if ever see their high school teammates. Especially the 4/5 star guys. So why are shite show programs having such success by recruiting 4/5 star's two star teammate they never see? And why is it coming back to bite specifically us so hard? Look at the guys we sign every year then look at the entire LIST of guys committed to us at some point who end up signing elsewhere. Like I said yesterday with Travis Rudolph, kids use us directly for publicity. No one follows West Coast recruiting to the extent they do in the South and Texas. Zach Whitely has been committed to us since May. If he had committed to UCLA back in May no one would have cared past late May. Anyone getting tired of kids using us? Even a guy like Rudolph no one talked about him until last week when he started name dropping Alabama. Hell no one commented on his articles from November when he cut his list to Miami, Florida, and FSU. But he trends on twitter when he name drops us. We are suffering the same BS that rappers rap about. We are simply a vehicle for kids who have no intention of actually playing here to get exposure. Which is starting to turn me off on recruiting that these kids are being encouraged to flat out lie. Why can't these guys be more like Leonard Fournett? After all the BS back and forth between Bama/LSU fans on that kid he handled his whole process with class. And he has the production and potential to back up the hype. And what is scary is he is committed to LSU now and he has none of the ego you would think the top Back in perhaps years would have.
From the bama recruiting thread. The melt is real

I feel bad for the legitimate Bama fans over there that have to deal with the one that posted that.

What sucks is he is exactly the kind of coverage linebacker we need going forward, could have seen the field early and often. Honestly, I know was dumb at 18, but i dont think i as dumb as some of these kids.

Best friends are killing Bama this cycle, hell, most cycles
I do want to say that Whitley was the reason Tre Williams dropped Bama. Hindsight FTL.

Whitley is a hell of a player. A&M was after him hard but the North Shore coaches hate us for some reason. His coaches drove the kid to Bama for a visit but couldn't find the time to make a much shorter trip to CS. We haven't gotten someone from that school since Tiki Hardeman in the late '90s.
This does make me feel better about Texas not hiring Jim Mora though.

I'm not a hypocrite like you. When the other poster said something stupid regarding a kid in that thread I spoke against it.
Now that's settled, tell us you never saidwe're hypocrites for believing Tony Brown had a chance to come to Alabama.

I'll stand by that quote.LSU's class is already stout with several spots left to fill.Obviously missing on 3 top targets hurts but let's wait till the faxs are in.
