Like I was talking to a friend who is one of the analysts for one of the major bama sites. Walker Jones really isn't getting recruited for his athletic ability but more he is what they refer to when talking shop as a "APR recruit" someone you know will come in, go to class, and finish school.

Walker is committing Aug. 2nd. His high school all but said he is committing to Bama in an interview couple days ago.


Thanks, I read somewhere that he was in Tusc last weekend with his dad and some thought he might pull the trigger. He is going to be a good one.

I don't buy it either. Our APR gets better every year and is one of the best in the SEC. We wouldn't waste a scholly on someone for APR purposes.

Thats what he said. He certainly is a legit recruit but lets don't pretend his upside is on the field as a gamebreaker.

We all have things we question Saban for. Like anyone can be a long snapper. It is an acquired skill not a talent. If you are going to give a kid a free ride to long snap why not at least an instate kid. Hell let David Kamara long snap. But McCleoud, Mazza, and Jones will be head scratchers to me.

Agreed.

quote:

After losing a commitment from Andy Dodd earlier in the day, the University of Alabama responded by adding a commitment from ESPN 150 tight end Josh McNeil, the No. 4-ranked tight end in the country.

McNeil, a native of Durham, N.C., visited Tuscaloosa on Thursday and Friday before making his decision public via Twitter late Friday night.

The 6-foot-5, 226-pound McNeil gives the Crimson Tide 17 verbal commitments in the 2013 class and a potentially dangerous tight end combination with O.J. Howard, the No. 2 tight end, already on board.

As a junior at Hillside High School, McNeil caught 58 passes for 575 yards and six touchdowns. It was his first year playing football. He chose Alabama over the likes of Florida, Georgia, Miami and Washington State.
