I only posted that because he had Bama, Auburn, and I think Florida as his top schools at one time. It looked like he might be a back-up plan for Walker. But that was a couple months ago.



Aahhh

OJ Howard comment from today siap

quote:

TALKS ABOUT DEE LINER'S COMMENTS: Quote: "I saw last week where Dee said I was going there," Howard said. "I haven't really talked to him in a long time. I am not even sure I will visit them. I haven't been talking to them. "I haven't really talked to Dee in forever. He just thinks everyone is coming to Auburn. He is a great guy. He is funny. I am committed to the Tide, and I am signing with Alabama."

but auburns sources said they have a good chance at flipping oj. They were right with reuben therefore they are always right. Geez dude read the AU REC thread from time to time and you'd know this.

And because of the way Foster handled his commitment thats the norm now and Howard is lying to everyone and is secretly talking to AU coaches daily. Even though he has repeatedly said he's 100% firm to Bama and has done nothing to indicate different, AU still has a 50/50 shot.


I know this for a fact because a anonymous 2014 recruit at a camp months ago said OJ,Foster and Wiggins would be playing together. He's got 1 right so far so this 12 year old from a different state obviously knows OJ's secret plan.

Yeah, and lets not forget that O.J. has been making trip to Tuscaloosa to help recruit other prospects on visits, i.e. Marquez White.

We're also #5 in Rivals Team recruiting rankings. I think we were around 8 or 9 before this latest update. Doesn't seem like we got a net positive bump but I guess we did at least relative to a few other teams.

Rivals moves kids down for not going to the major camps but gives them nothing for being a team player for instead going to 7-7 team camps.

I agree that Jones should be much higher, but if Rivals thought he was in the 100's before this summer, he did nothing to help his status

Quick nuggets

Bama still has a heavy lead for Greg Taboada, he basically is willing to play either position TE on O or any front 7 position on D likely beef up and play DT he's nasty as a LB too thouh. Staff really coverts that

Demarcus Walker is as close to a lock as we have seen leading up to his 24th announcement thing look REALLY good

Marquez White looked like a possibility to flip after the whole fam came to Ttown however seems like he again reaffirmed his commitment to FSU after a recent visit to Tallahassee so as of now he's a no go Bama tat and all SMH

We are still looking really good for landing Mac Alexander

All I got hope y'all enjoy

Really didnt like the idea of bringing in Taboada at first but after looking at his film he could be a steal on the defensive side of the ball. I would love for him to play DE for us. Would be nasty.

1) Marquez White looked like a possibility to flip after the whole fam came to Ttown however seems like he again reaffirmed his commitment to FSU after a recent visit to Tallahassee so as of now he's a no go Bama tat and all SMH

1) Unrelated, I keep reading this as Marquez North (much scarier)

2) Really? What about his twin?

I wouldn't go that far sack. We'll still have Fulton and belue who should be battle hardened veterans. Geno smith will be a second year player and jabriel Washington and Bradley Sylve will both be RS sophomores next year. While I don't expect much from them this year they looked good at Aday and should be ready to roll next year. I expect a safety to play money this year and next year

Mackenro and Mackensie aren't a package deal any longer and Mac isn't interested in FSU, and Bama isn't interested in Mackenro
