How concerned should we be about Tenpenny? He's "announcing" on NSD apparently...


He is still supposed to be pretty solid, but honestly I'm really not sure if it matters at this point with Kamara being pretty close to a lock with or without 10cent.

ETA: To be clear, I am a huge fan of Altee and the way he has handled his recruitment. I would love to see him in crimson, but wouldnt be mad if he decided to stay with the home team...

AT has been solid with his commitment from day one. There is always a chance for the home state school but AT has remained solid throughout the process.

See where Saban has an in home with Matthew Thomas tomorrow. I've been high on this kid since summer camps. He is the LB we need to combat the spread offenses. Where he would fit # wise is beyond me.

Man oh man, we have had some spirited discussions about this prospect. I agree that we could really use another Mosley type and this kid certainly looks the part. He would fit in well with the other speedy LB's like Allen and Tim Williams joining Ragland and Hayes already on campus to really give us a versatile LB core.

Everyone pegged Williams as filling the last LB spot, but what if Williams replaced Walker and we are still holding out for Foster and/or Thomas... I just cant see Coach Saban visiting a kid that we have no interest in, although he did recently visit Vonn Bell and we all know what the scuttlebutt is there... Just adds to the intrigue but I am a huge fan of Matt Thomas.

Averitt
Cook
Smith

and now Jackson

this DB class is just nasty and to think we still in the running for Connor or Bell to cap it off.

Rivals lists him as a 3-star WR while 247 and ESPN have him listed as a 4-star CB.

Someone from Rivals didn't do their homework.

Every time I see Vonn Bell's name, I think he's a linebacker. That would be a great name for a LB.

He didn't play football as a Junior. Zero appearances on the camp circuit. Doesn't play for a big time program. He just slipped through the cracks.

Lucky thinks he is head and shoulders above Vonn Bell, who is a consensus 5-star, and that if he had played before his Senior year and attended camps that he would easily be a 5-star.

I don't follow recruiting closely until close to sigining day. This thread is overwhelming as frick and I don't have time to read it at this point.

My question for you "experts" is what is the OL recruiting looking like? Are we getting who we wanted? Any All-SEC / All-American caliber guys committed? Any big targets yet and do we get them? Want to keep this dominant Oline train running.

Grant Hill is going to be a stud on the OL.

We've got some really good Guards committed in Hill and Bozeman. No Centers on board. Still have Tunsil and possibly A'Shawn Robinson (he could play DL) as legitimate signees at OT.
