Uh oh....looks like something is brewing down in Texas:

quote:

Been on the phone for the last 2 hours chasing down info on A’Shawn Robinson and it seems there is a new development in his recruitment. Sources close to Robinson have indicated that Saban’s in-home visit yesterday went very well. So well in fact Alabama is in the running for his signature much more than expected when we dropped the forecast an hour ago.



Could this be JC Shurlbutt's big suprise?

And if we were to land Robinson what would that do to Reed?

Could be that we want Robinson on the OL and Reed on the DL. Doubt it though.

@JakeRoweRivals
Chamblee DE Davin Bellamy says he will take an official visit to #Alabama this weekend.


In the AJC article, kid made it sound like we have a real chance if we push for him.

Just saying now Texas has a chance to go and change his mind.

I had hoped the Robinson news wouldn't leak early. It's real though......hope it doesn't cost us, because as of last night he is signing with Alabama.

ETA: Didn't see The System chime in on Robinson, so I am taking my stuff out, but I think Bellamy is now going to visit Oregon this weekend. We are pushing for Robinson and Vanderdoes, it seems.

Hey guys - not much time to follow recruiting. Can someone tell me how we are doing and how you expect us to close out? Thanks.

As of right now close looks like:

A'Shawn Robinson
Dee Liner
Tony Conner
Alvin Kamara
Eddie Jackson

1 more spot left to add will likely be Reed

Yah he was wrong on Bellamy lol no chance he visits

What's crazy also is after Vanderdoes ND visit ND insiders are saying Irish and Bama are tied at the top and we have his last visit this weekend, and he's never seen Bama so he's likely going to be blown away unless staff tells him no room lol so we could be adding him AND Robinson what a craaazy finish after we seemingly thought we struck out on DL

Eddie Vanderdoes
A'Shawn Robinson
Dee Liner

I'm getting the feeling that Robinson is our backup plan for Tunsil at OT. I don't think he plays DL for us.

He could be a NG prospect or an OL possibly OT prospect gonna try and find some film and see if I can compare

It's no surprise though if it's important to win to the kid that he's having second thoughts about Texas

It is you're right and it is looking like the finish is gonna be EPIC regardless of which direction the staff decides to go

I thought Paige would be our NG prospect. ANyway sign him up and let them play. Good to have these problems.

Most believe ND and UCLA are tied at the top.

Distance will be a factor. USC is completely out.

Most analysts say he has a higher ceiling on the OL, so ideally we can land him and Eddie V. Talk about a sick finish to a class.
