Ramsey is a camp superstar but gets abused regularly in high school. See last Friday as an example.

What have you guys been hearing on Antonio Connor out of South Panola HS in Mississippi? FWIW they host Hoover this Friday.

Came on a visit and wasn't released that he was there about 2 or 3 weeks ago

Had a great time, Bama has made him a priority and he we have a pretty significant lead right now

Memphis will come on here & tell you he's an OM lock though...

If AC goes to OM it will be because of depth/family. He isn't someone who cares about the pipeline

hey BWB, who do you think we close with? who do you want the most?

Here's my list for the 6 remaing slot to get us to 25:

1. Tunsil
2. Adams
3. Foster (WR)
4. Thomas
5. Conner or Bell (both would be fine)
6. Beckwith- could play several postitions on D.
7. Henry

Getting 6 of those would be great! My list is in the order of postion need to fill out the class.

Thanks; I had forgotten about KSM.. Adding him and Tunsil would make for a respectable OL haul next year. I don't know much(other than he's not that highly rated*don't mean he's not goog) about Taboada TE but with OJ on board I'd prefer we go after another position of need. Foster will/would be a badass pickup for the Stacked WR group we have on campus ~ Conner playing with Collins .. watch the frick out !! STACKED!!

Thanks

Taboada would not be for TE.

That may well be, but he won't a spot when it's all said and done. I don't even see us filling all 25 spots to be honest. We are stockpiling roster spots for the 2014 class IMO.

Is the 2014 class supposed to be that much better/deeper? Bird in hand vs 2 in the bush, theory applies recruiting.

TS seeing a WALK-ON just be named as a starter at Hback should clue you in...as a TE/Hback he is easily the best blocker to come out at his position this year....and as a DL he is pretty nasty as well and he's willing to play either

If you watch film it will impress you and he is a definite take by staff I've been told that

If we do not fill the 25, will Kelly Johnson get a scholarship?

Wouldn't make much sense to give Kelly Johnson a scholarship when his senior season starts Saturday

You would think one of freitag, vogler, faciane could fill that role, especially with the size Malcolm has. I'm meh on another TE this year with luatua a good possibility for next year. That's not a position where you need 5 bodies

I honestly think the staff likes Taboada's versatility more than anything rubble, they see him as a DL that COULD move over to TE if needed

Also important to consider OJ could become a WR with his size/speed combo
