I think this says more about our "insiders" than anything else.

At the end of they day they're guessing no differently than any one of us.

Remaster has always been like this... I can’t tell either if he’s just an emotional Bama fan or just trolling. I know others have given him grief about it in the past....

Some of you folks need to pull up your panties. Sounds like Jackson might have played Nick and staff just like Washington did months back.

How so? Kid was never committed or rumored of a silent to my knowledge ? He just chose a different school. He WAS committed to LSU shortly and they were in it as well . Not sure how we got played , was it because an “insider” predicted he signs with Bama?

Timothy Smith is a better prospect than Jackson, not saying I wouldnt have liked to get Jackson too. But Smith can clog the middle and rush the passer from the inside. Jackson is a pure space eater at this point in his development. I like the guys we got especially Smith. He's a future star

... or Jackson knew where he was going, informed the staff and Saban tried his best to get him to come the Alabama.

Can't get them all. We still have a great class.


However "insiders" like Hank South and Tim Watts won't get my money. Saban knew the kid wasn't coming because he was informed.

Explain how these guys are insiders but they didn't know??

I remember when Washington released his top 3 and the Tide wasn't in it and he had to go back and Microsoft Paint Bama in.

I'm pretty sure we knew then he wasn't coming here.

I honestly dont think you can the analysts at all. Tim even said yesterday he could see Jackson at A&M. The CB makes people forget him saying that. I do think these kids know exactly what they are doing when they throw the "business decision" out there now. No way he made the best business decision .

Y’all just now figuring this out about our insiders? It was pretty obvious to me they didn’t know shite when the only prospects they talk about are 5 stars, and then Bama gets commits from someone they’ve mentioned like once.

We actually can here because McKinnely informed the staffs. Every staff knew where he was signing.

This kid did not play games.

If you are connected with the staff how do you not know he isn't coming? It is pretty cut and dry. Plain and simple.


The reality is they do interviews and primarily guess. Then they hedge by saying things are fluid when in reality that is the minority of the time.

Avantae Williams just went to Miami when he had 15 CBs to Florida. Kids are just playing the guys who work in recruiting for the shock value. No reason to get wound up about recruiting analyst missing on CBs. People act like they are actually a part of the programs.

Will have to agree with you here . Staff knew he wasn’t coming . Nobody was “played”

Jackson said he knew where he was going for a year. So why did he not sign early or at least commit to his school? Why this drama? Why make other schools spend so much effort and resources when your mind is made up.?
That part always bothered me regardless of the chosen school. This has happened when people have signed with us.

$$$ and I don't mean that in a "o man they cheatahs pawlllll" way. Southern D-Linemen are getting paid in recruiting, he may know where he wanted to go, but it absolutely behooves him to see what offers get put under the table.

Wouldn’t think so. He was given conditions to be at Bama and he didn’t want them . I wouldn’t want to sign where I was a back up plan anyway if I was him. Oregon is a good program too . Good luck to the young man

I don't disagree with what Tider is saying but to add to that he could not be telling the truth. He could have said that to build suspense for his announcement. He could have just said it cause TAMU became his leader a year ago. He could have just said it just because.

Or maybe he likes the benefits of being recruited. How many times did he get to have Aunt Jenny's Country Buffett because of recruiting? I'm sure it feels good when people around town see that Coach O and Saban want you.

Most people like attention and being treated special. I don't think that is surprising.

He actually said he could see it either way. I dont know how thats hard to understand. How many people put in CBs for the kid before Tim? Anyway i knew he wasnt coming as soon as the coach said what he said. No way a coach would wait all this time and then ruin the surprise.
