re: 2020 FB Recruiting & Roster

Definitely. I would be super disappointed if he didn't end up in Bama's class.

I would never lol

And Ga'Quincy too. Would be nice. Hope we get some top commitments from this Junior Day.

Crazy how many of the QBs for the 2021 class are already committed

He had visits from Saban, Orgeron, Kiffin, and Dabo this week. Popular kid.

This might sound stupid but who's picking up the tab there? Saban isn't allowed to buy dinner is he?

I doubt NCAA rules permit recruiters to pay for recruits' meals except during official visits.

LINK ]In-state DE reacts to latest offer from Alabama (BamaOnLine | segments)

Bama offered one of the top prospects in the state on Friday in four-star weak-side defensive end LINK ]Jeremiah Williams. The Birmingham (AL) Ramsay product has early interest from Auburn, Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee, among many others.

“Coach (Nick) Saban and Coach (Karl) Scott popped up to Ramsay today,” Williams told BamaOnLine after announcing his offer. “He can’t really talk to us, but I guess he talked to my coach and Coach Nelson told me I had an offer from Alabama.”

It’s news Williams has been waiting on, especially considering early on he says the Tide staff thought he was undersized. “They had told me I was too little actually,” Williams said laughing. “But they always kept in contact. They would send somebody up here, their linebackers coach or Coach Scott to keep in touch. Then today it just happened. “I’m real cool with Coach Scott. He’s a cool dude. He’ll keep it real with you. He’ll tell you what it is and tell you what it ain’t.”

At 6-foot-4, 222 pounds Williams has filled out as he gets set to enter his senior season this fall. With the Crimson Tide in the mix now, expect UA to remain a serious contender for the local standout. “They have a really successful program,” Williams said. “It’s incredible what they’ve done in the past few years. I don’t think they’re going to decline anytime soon. Just to have the possibility to be a part of that program I think is really cool.”

Williams says he grew up an Auburn fan, but has some Alabama on at least one side of his family. “My mom’s side is all Auburn, my dad’s side is all Alabama,” he said, adding there’s no favorites at the moment. “I wanna take my time with the process,” he said. “I want to slow it down and enjoy it. I don’t plan on committing anytime soon. I’ll probably decide around this time next year, coming up on the last signing day.”

Williams plans to attend Junior Day in Tuscaloosa on Saturday. He will visit Florida in March after the Dead Period.

4* OLB Jeremiah Williams 6-4/220 AL hudl

Golding is for sure an "oh, I forgot my wallet" guy though.

"That'll be $50," the waitress says with a bright smile.

Pete Golding grabs the chain running from his belt loop to the trifold, velcro wallet in his back pocket and pulls. After wrenching it open he digs in the wallet for a moment before handing her a crumpled $20.

The waitress, gently handing the $20 back to him says, "Um, sir, that won't work, you'll need more."

Golding looks confused and tries to hand her the $20 again.

The waitress, now also confused, says, "Sir, as I just said, you can't do that, you'll need something else."

Golding stares blankly at her, the $20 still clutched in his outstretched hand.

The waitress glances nervously at Saban, her eyes pleading with him to intervene, before saying, "Sir, I'm not sure what you're doing, but trying the same tactic over and over again just isn't going to work."

Golding, his shirt buttoned one button off, so the collar sticks up too high on the left side, mumbles, "Delay blitz with the slowest player on the team," as he thrusts the wrinkled $20 in her direction yet again.

The waitress backs slowly away, still throwing nervous looks at Saban, who is just now finishing the last bite of an oatmeal cream pie.
