We really need some cornerbacks to be honest

Thomas is definitely an LB prospect. IMO, he is exactly what we need when dealing with the Johnny Football-type QBs that we will be seeing more of, maybe not in-conference but definitely in postseason matchups (Big 12, Pac 12, ACC, Urban Meyer's OSU teams, etc)

ETA: Also, with Malzahn, Sumlin, and Freeze, I guess we can expect more in-division too.

we already have cook, smith, and 2 athletes who are likely to end up at corner, Averett and Stewart

Matthew Thomas would be CJ Moseley in our defense, only taller.

I just don't see Thomas happening. He has probably been to Miami 20 times, and I don't think he has ever made it to Tuscaloosa. Even if we roll out the red carpet for him on his OV I don't think it will be enough.

Thomas claimed we were his leader for a while.

Rivals 100 safety Antonio Conner named leader after practice. He will announce on Friday. #Alabama. #MissSt, #OleMiss, #LSU. Story coming.



Interesting. If I read that tweet correctly, AC named us his leader. Still think he winds up at Ole Miss.

OJ


Robert Foster


From the sound of it, Robert Foster has been one of the stand-outs at practice today with many calling him the best WR there.

I just spoke with Walker. He did confirm his visit to Florida. He said his commitment to Alabama is about 90-percent. I didn't buy that after talking to him. He seems like he is heading to Florida. Pruitt had a huge impact on his decision. I'll have more later.

Add that to Nkemdiche calling OM and LSU his leaders and we are missing out on some real talent.

True, but we're also landing some serious talent

Just worried about DL. Walker and Paige are the two we have committed.

I understand that, but DL obviously wasn't much of a priority for this class with all the guys we brought in last year (Kirven, Tomlinson, Lake, Ball). There are a lot of good players out there this year we never pursued like Crayton and Bain.
