Dude really your shtick is old and tired. Not. A Bama fan at all, but Bama has a great class. Other schools have picked up their recruiting game. Bama gets 25 scholly's to fill. There are a couple of hundred + top players out of HS. Saban will always attract top recruits, but sometimes even he will lose out for one reason or another.

Please tell me you are just trolling your own fan base, because I am having difficulty believing you are this football stupid. Again, your game is easy to see and if I were one of the fans on here I would be asking you for a meet and greet at the sonics closest to you. Grow up already you bring this thread down.

No RockyMtn its like these kids hold us to a higher standard. They don't mind teams sucking but they have problems with us being good I don't understand it. Like the BS we hear about these "freindships" between recruits. This is about them not their damn contrived relationships with other 17 year olds. Why if all these buddies can go be buddies at a school that sucks why not at a program that is taking names?

Everybody who isn't completely rebuilding because they suck is stacked. One guy was fine, two guys, but damn literally these kids all got the message that the elite of the 2013 has nothing to do with us. Friggin Miami hasn't been good in a decade and is on probation. Clemson just gave up 70 in a bowl game.

I get losing kids, what I don't get is these guys only looking at our negatives and every other programs positives.

Its like Bama is deep and that scares them, but Clemson sucking doesn't

Most reports suggest Eddie is off to a great start. But the highest praise for the young receivers has been directed at Amari Cooper and that is no knock on Eddie.

Both should be great. Williams is going to be a great deep target for AJ. Great leaping ability.



Pecking order for WRs, imo :

Kenny Bell
Kevin Norwood
C. Jones
DeAndrew White
Amari Cooper
Eddie Williams
Chris Black


WR by committee.

I think Bama, LSU, and Aubie finish in the top 5. All are stacked. I understand Tim is trolling, but I do know some people are "a little upset" with the class so far because we missed Foster and RN when a few months ago we were sold that they were ours for the taking. Guys like Walker, Thomas, Robert Foster, and Henry could change that.

Nope, with Haha, Vinnie, Landon, Jarrick Williams, and Nick Perry his versatility is better suited for the offensive side of the ball.

We're stacked at both positions to be honest.

At Safety we've got Lester, Sunseri, HaHa, and Collins. I could see HaHa moving to corner depending on who leaves after this season. If it is just Milliner, then he'll probably stay at S. All are good. I think Williams would be better at WR.

I didn't mention Jarrick and Perry, but those two guys are definitely some of the best people on the roster. Not the best players, but they've been pushed down the depth chart by a lot of people, and they have stayed. They like their role and they are experienced guys who will step in if they need to.

I think either Amari or Eddie will start or at least play as much as a starter. They bring the most length.

Cyrus Jones is playing slot receiver so add him to the list.

My order

Bell
Norwood
White
Chris Jones
Black/Williams/Cooper/Cyrus Jones
Shinn
Woodson

Bell and Norwood have both shown flashes. Norwood was running great routes in the BCS title game.

Yeah, I think Norwood's performance in the BCS championship game is going to elevate the entire group.

Perry and Williams adding depth is really allowing us flexibility in starting out the young guys at receiver. I really hope it goes well for EW because I think he could have a great career at receiver.

While I agree that I "want" him, we don't really "need" him. We're fine on the inside as of right now, next year we should be looking at Trey and Ragland on the inside, and we'll have someone else playing in rotation. Who it is I don't know, but we've got a few guys who will be competing for it.
