Posted this elsewhere, thought it belonged here as well:

I'll go back and remind you guys what GradyJr from BOL posted, that we would be getting Tunsil and RF

Add them to the already percieved finish:

1. Kamara
2. Vonn Bell
3. Dee Liner
4. Eddie Jackson
5. Tunsil
6. RF (THIS one is still up in the air tbh, but just like it has been through his whole recruitment, it is always closest to the vest so Bama holds a spot & despite all the hoop lah Saban STILL wants him & feels he can mold him into the next MLB/LBing monster)

that is the most realistic finish

wanted Carr & we came close, but too many close to home situations keeping him at UT, same with Matt Thomas, I think staff feels (DISCLAIMER - This is my opinion) they can mold J. Allen into a very versatile LB and teach him every position, then Tim W. was an absolute take because of his height/frame and ability to pass rush, which gives staff much more of an opportunity to get J Allen into that MLB/Hightower mindframe where he can learn all the positions and multiple scheme assignments. Matt Thomas is a phenomenal talent and an athletic freak at his position, but also keep in mind that we signed a LOT of LBs in last year's class and it isn't about taking TW over Thomas, staff had JA over MT, that's what it was about IMHO

I'll also say to address the notion of adjusting to quick snap read offenses and spread offenses, this is how Saban & Co are doing it, we can no longer afford to sign 1 or 2 extra DL like Upshaw (who was a DL coming out of HS) and convert them over to Jack, Hubbard, etc. Instead let's take a flyer on a tall large frame kid who's more athletic, but not in the DE mindset instead of another smaller ILB like MT now MT was a take for a looong time in my mind and I wanted him, but I kind of see the light in regards to these positions and who the staff has deemed as a "TAKE" just like Carr, he was unique because he was a RE and DOMINATED all competition (props to Magilla on pointing this out to me, very keen) and was already 270 - 80 range, so as a DL. It is about putting together a unit just think about it....

Not that special

When you coming back for another gig in t-town?

Feb 7th my man! Hope to see you there again. I'm all over the champion state these next few weeks. Muscle Shoals, 2 in Birmingham, and then back to Tuscaloosa on the 7th like I said.

Ssshhhh....
