UGA insiders feel like Foster will flip to UGA because Foster has told kids in Athens he wants to play at Georgia......same with AU insiders, so in a sense they have good reason to feel that way.

RF is a lot like TJ Yeldon in that he has a very difficult time telling people "no". I can tell you though that RF was in touch with Bama's staff on his way home from Athens last week as well as that Monday, was very honest, and Bama's staff feels absolutely confident he's theirs now and it won't change.

Thanks

I'm ready for someone to commit....anybody.

What do we have like a month a half until the season starts....

Demarcus Walker and Brendan Langley commit in August.

Walker is Bama's to lose. Everything points to him becoming the next commitment.

Langley is a question mark right now. Some say he has a committable offer, others say that Bama has a couple of players higher on the board.

Remember, camp is July 15th-18th so a surprise commitment could pop during camp as well.

How is O.J. Howard still a consensus 4*? I would think he would be the #1 TE in the country, 5* across the board. He could even be a 5* WR given the numbers he is putting up.

Don't expect Langley to be a part of Bama's class.

OJ Howard caught an out route and then outran the CB to the end zone for a 80 yard score.

The Opening ?@TheOpening2012
TE OJ Howard just outran the #AlphaTalon defense for an 80-yard score. #LandSharks lead 13-0 in 1st half. #THEOPENING #RollTide

Adam Gorney ?@adamgorney
OJ Howard is an incredible player who rarely comes along at tight end #Alabama

Scott Kennedy ?@ScoutKennedy
OJ Howard took a swing pass and outran everyone for a TD, ref turned and said "who's that?"... #bama #rolltide

Greg Biggins ?@GregBiggins
OJ Howard might be the biggest freak of a TE I've ever seen, that's some great gene pool right there

Barton Simmons ?@bartonsimmons
OJ Howard with maybe the play of The wkend. Catches a hitch and outruns everyone for a 80 yd TD

Brandon Huffman ?@BrandonHuffman
Just took a pass at his own 40 then out ran a corner who he was about 40 pounds heavier and four inches taller than...

Brian Stumpf ?@BrianStumpfESPN
OJ Howard has been worth the 1st round pick that team #LandSharks spent on him and more. @TheOpening2012

Oj Howard = megatron

If this is the case....

So...is he going to be a WR...and our DGB for this year?
I know he has all the measurables...how is he with route running and his hands?

IMO if he moved to WR he's hands down the best WR in the class. I don't know if I would crown him as the next megatron but I'm starting to think he would be better off moving to WR. He's basically an Orson Charles at TE just bigger and faster. I highly doubt blocking is a strength for him so why not put him out where he can really take advantage of his size. With all that said, I hope you leave him at TE

I haven't been hearing good things about Bateman. Just his cruddy team

---

Bateman looked good from what I saw. He was throwing a little high but nothing that seemed uncatchable. His team was dropping a lot. Jackson (Auburn TE commit) had couple drops I know. He definitely didn't have the best team. I would put Bateman as the 2nd QB behind Browne from what I've seen.

If you're talking about jalen Ramsey, we didn't even make his top 7.
