Hearing that Bama has made a huge push for Tunsil and are now in his to 2, and that UF are third, Ole Miss 4th.Bama has supposedly closed the gap on UGA big time.Tunsil is taking an official to Bama with his mom sometime in the future.He likes that we have been getting OT's into the NFL more than any other school recently.

Really? We're all UA fans here. Just because he disagrees with you doesnt mean he needs to gtfo.


Let's not sit here and act like I havent seen you make tons of stupid arse posts on this board, many which would imply that you're a bandwagon fan.

I also agree with TideorDie. A "lockdown" gets thrown around way too much. There's good corners, really good corners, and lockdowns. It's someone who shuts down their side of the field, and very rarely allows a pass on them.

I'm a recent UA graduate, who gives a shite if someone is a sidewalk fan. They're a UA fan. My dad is a "sidewalk", and has been following UA since the 60's, I dare you to say to him he's not a true fan

I meant Bandwagon fan, sidewalk was the wrong word.I know a lot of "sidewalk fans" that are bigger Bama fans than people who actually wet to UA.

I really dont want to get into with anyone again but what about that makes me a Bandwagon fan? Also I would like to see both Deon and Ardarius on offense. Really think we should try and start keeping some of the fast guys on offense and stop putting them on defense. Just my opinion.

Yea but it kind of confuses me when in interview recruits say CNS told them he is looking for more explosiveness but then move B. Sylve to cornerback. Not guessing him just dont understand it.

Calm down there big guy. I didn't say GTFO because he disagrees with me, I said GTFO because he was like "You're working my nerves" when I was concuring with what he said.

I've been an Alabama fan since I was little and don't you ever forget it, tough guy.

Seriously. Don't call me a bandwagon fan. I was wearing Crimson Tide apparel before you were born. (Well maybe, I don't know how old you are.)

OT U with Fluker going in round 1?


Nah, but still pretty good as of late. Tunsil and Leon in this class would be great.

Yeah Fluker is gonna be a top 15 pick, also we've had Andre Smith, and James Carpenter go in the first round since Saban's been coach.

And Jones played LT for us for one season and by all accounts he'll be taken in the first round unless he was to shite the bed at the combine. They will try him anywhere, he can definitely play any place other than LT, and for all we know he may develop into a good LT.

Plus Cyrus K is rated as the highest OL in his class right now.

Yeah all the mocks I've seen have him and FLuker going in the first round, some even have Warmack going in the first round.

I feel like I'm just forgetting it, but has 3 starters from the same OL even went in round one of the draft? I see Warmack going late to a team like San Francisco, or maybe the Steelers. The Bengals went and got Zeitler and could use Warmack to handle the other OG position.


Saban needs to crank up the NFL Prospect machine.

think he and Fluker both go in the 15 to 30 area, both are great players at their position with shots to play LT. I don't someone with a hole at LT will reach for them, unless everyone else is gone.


Fluker's future depends on this season. He is very athletic for his size, but if he is going to be given a look at LT he needs to look good against Mingo this season. In the BCSCG he just wasn't quick enough to handle the speed rush. He could push Mingo down and slow him, but Mingo was beating him with slant rushes. If people think he has a future at LT and he can prove it he can be a top ten selection. Right now he projects best as a Guard or a RT.

I think Jones goes higher than a C or OG would normally go just because you're getting almost any position on the OL in one player. The fact that (I know it is practice, but believe me it has made him better) he has always blocked the best guy in the front four at practice is scary. Mount Cody, Dareus, Upshaw, and now Jesse.

With our three OL their quality will not exactly translate to their draft round. Like ET said... How often are RT drafted in the first round? Most NFL tackles platyed LT in college.. right? I am sure teams will factor in the CK is a great prospect at LT or DJ might have moved over, but still not likely he goes in round one.

These guys are usually the most accurate and they have Fluker going 17th overall.

They have Barrett Jones going 18th overall.

They have Milliner, Lester, Mosely, and Jesse Williams, going n the second round, but a few of those guys can move up if they have a good season and do well at the combine.I'd bet that Milliner goes in the first round.

A few months ago he had Milliner and Mosley in round one I believe.

I think Milliner/Mosley/Williams can go in round one. I think Nico, Milliner, Mosley, Williams, Warmack, Fluker, Jones, and Lester all have first round talent, but not all will go in round one. Williams will be a combine freak, Milliner should have a good season and a good combine as well. Mosley's coverage skills and ability to cover the uprising TEs will slip him in, and Nico and Manti won't both go in the first. One will, not the other. It depends on their seasons and combines.


Lester had a Junior slump like Barron did, but in Lester's defense people didn't throw at him and he still had 2 INTs and he dropped at least 4. We led the nation in three and out D, so of course stats dropped off.

A lot of people have him in the first round though because he is just too talented to not be in the first round. You can try him at LT, and if it doesn't work out he'll just play RT or OG.

I might be in the minority, but I see on one site that Tenpenny is gonna take some officials. Im not a fan of losing him if we get a Henry commit.
