So Nkemdiche is playing DT in the UA Game instead of DE?

Interdasting.

Maybe the 3-4 DE position is looking more attractive to him now...



Was just thinking that but he wont think that. He is dominating inside.

It's his future position if he plays in a 4-3 defense. He's only 18 and he has never been in a college S&C program, but he already weighs ~280 pounds. I'd be shocked if he didn't get upwards of 300 in college, which is just too big to play DE even if you are a freak.

why would he not be eligible if he played no college foot ball


That is the golden question... Concerns about his eligibility came from this update about a month ago...

quote:

Miller, a native of Selma, is a former 3 sport athlete who had multiple offers in basketball and football.

He eventually chose Stanford, very smart kid, over Alabama and Auburn. But out of the blue and quite unexpected he was drafted high by the Marlins, whisked away and signed within 24 hours.

I spoke to Mike Montgomery at length about this at an AAU event in Las Vegas after that happened. He said that the Marlins had set it up so that his "clock was running" meaning he was burning eligibility. But how true and how much eligibility he might have used I'm not sure. Montgomery, then basketball coach at Stanford, said he and the football staffs were caught completely off guard when this happened.


Again, not sure how this works or how valid the info is, just passing along the information...

So Antonio Conner didn't commit as planned. What's that about?

TideSatchel, you can't link a story like that without expounding on it's contents. Is Walker solid or not?

This year's signing day is shaping up to be the most insane one I can ever remember.

Speaking on the phone with Saban as he walked off the field.

Everyone expects him to flip to UF. He continues to claim he is solid to UA and even took pictures with the other UA commits at the game. Starting to really get tired of this kid. Time to be a man and end the charade. Being confused about a big decision is fine. Lying to people isn't.

ETA: Apparently he told Saban he will be in Tuscaloosa on Monday to enroll. Count me as one who doesn't believe it.

It came out a couple days ago that he had decided not to announce today. Probably wants to take his visits first.

Watching the replay on ESPNU of UA AA Game, some random thoughts:

Kamara has put some weight on and bulked up man he looks like a Matt Forte type but he's very athletic and just skates not afraid of contact at all, and the OL absolutely sucked. Man if we land him with the other 3 this could be the best RB group 1 school has ever signed.

Nkemdiche as a DE in a 4 man front looked horrible I'm sorry he was out of position badly he needs to be a Jack OLB in a 3 man. He was doubled a lot but his quick step should've got him into the backfield some and out of a stance he just stood straight up a lot

Hargreaves III is a player, so is Chris Jones those guys will be BEASTS in the SEC soon

MATTHEW MFINSHRVFHSJSBFJDJSBSVFHD THOMAS OMG. I don't CARE how small he is he is ridiculous, I hope the OV does the trick (kid is a huge Bama fan) it's the 1st time he has been on campus and staff better roll out the red carpet

Robert Foster is a very good WR I am excited, Bateman wasn't bad either

Yeah, Kamara's got that burst but he's thickened up a little so he's no longer your typical skat back. I can see why we've kept on him despite having the other 3 RBs committed.
