I've just got the high of the 2012 class still lingering. It has the potential of the 08 class, and the 08 class was followed by a stellar 09 class. This class seems very good, but losing out on two guys you thought you had sealed hurts. I'm glad we don't have to listen to Nkemdiche's demands now, but Foster would've been great for Bama. Granted we don't NEED him, he would've been a wonderful choice in rotation for 2013 with DeBeast and Ragland.

I can't believe I forgot about Arie. He'll start at RT or LG imo too.

To guys I hope develop quickly are Leon Brown and Brandon Hill. But if Brandon Hill does not make it to campus that will really hurt his development. Brandon Greene or Alphonse Taylor could be potential surprises for the 2013 line as well.

I see JJ jokes coming, but seriously 2 or 3 kids dont really matter...just my opinion


Yeah, recruiting well means nothing if your coaches can't coach them up.Miles and Saban have proven that they are two of the best at getting players to live up to their full potential.

Taylor was just at OL in the Spring for depth, iirc he's going to be the NT in 2013 if he can jump Ivory.



I'm really high on Hill because I loved his Senior tape, and he's 6'6" 350 coming out of High School. With Cochran helping him out he'll be a beast. Of course he has some work to do in mainly pass protection, but putting that huge mofo at RT just isn't even fair when you run behind him. Dee Hart would disa-fricking-ppear behind his huge arse.

It'd be pretty cool if the Kouandjio brothers were on the same side of the line.

Don't forget about Leon Brown the juco Tackle we signed, he should be able to come in and start right away.

If we land Derrick Henry and DeMarcus Walker before the end of the summer this will be shaping up to be a very good class. Especially as land Henry will give us some momentum in the battle for Tunsil.

It's already shaping up to be a very good class, we'll have have a top 5 class regardless.If we get those two and Tunsil, plus some other guys like Matthew Thomas and Robert Foaster we can make a run at having the number 1 class.

If Taylor moves back to DL, then I hope we Dakota Ball and/or Gulledge on the OL. We really need interior depth.

What're we going to do with Henry? A few months ago everyone was saying we wouldn't play him at RB, but doesn't he only want to play RB in college?


Walker should commit this week in my opinion, and if we get Henry and then get Tunsil this class will definitely turn itself back in the right direction.

I wanted to put Arie at LG in my prediction for '13, but I don't know where his knee is at. I would love to see a "Kouandjio Konnection".

If number choice is any indication, Gulledge will start out on the OL.
