re: 2020 FB Recruiting & Roster

so, clemson gets commitment from #1 player and takes over the #1 spot for 2020. according to sds.

I figured after being in the playoffs for the last 4 years and beating us twice.. once by 28.. that claim was long gone. They are more on the verge of if they are a dynasty claim now.

That Boy is surely creating a juggernaut... seems they exercise little effort and the top recruits just Slide in... year after year... Bama needs to kick their arse by 40 in the upcoming CFB play offs....

CB'ed to N.Dame

I know that Saban don't give a shitte about the ranking services, he looks at the players as "will this guy fit our need and play winning football?" and goes with "His Evaluation"... but so many get caught up in the "#1 according to Rivals" "#1 according to 247" "#1 according to ESPN" etc... Guess I do to, to a certain extent.

Hank CB'd 5-star TE Darnell Washington to Alabama.

Tide makes 4-star QB's top schools list - BamaOnLine By Hank South

quote:

---

Alabama is one of the last teams standing for Malik Hornsby.

The four-star dual-threat quarterback released his top eight on Wednesday night, a list that included: Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Houston, North Carolina, Oregon, SMU, and Texas A&M, in no particular order.

Ranked the nation's No. 4 dual-threat quarterback, Hornsby received an offer from the Crimson Tide staff shortly after Steve Sarkisian returned to Tuscaloosa as offensive coordinator.

Hornsby is rated the No. 116 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Alabama on the hunt for a quarterback in its 2020 class. Aside from Hornsby, others in the mix include five-star USC commit Bryce Young and three-star Fresno State commit Jaden Casey, among others.

Here's 247Sports' scouting report on Hornsby:

Thinner signal caller who should add substantial weight and muscle to his frame once he gets in a college strength and conditioning program. A track athlete with verified top-end speed. Has yet to transfer that athleticism into a combine setting, but has opportunities to show that during the 2019 offseason. Missed a handful of games to begin his junior season due to a transfer appeal, but hit the ground running. Ultimately led his team to a state title appearance. Presents a dynamic run threat as the triggerman to an explosive spread offense. Owns a strong arm with the ability to stretch the field vertically. At his most dangerous when allowed to present defenses with run-pass conflict via the RPO game or on broken plays. Capable of pulling away from defenses once he breaks free. Undeveloped as a passer in terms of mechanical consistency and situational awareness. Could stand to tighten up his throwing motion. While still raw as a passer, has immense upside. Projects as a Power 5 starter with the ultimate upside of becoming a NFL Draft pick with steady development.

As far as Gilbert - his QB committed to 10rc and is working him to join him there... but Bone says that Gilbert is planning on returning to Bama in the summer probably for the cookout? (he was there last year) and all indications are Bama makes his top 5 (will compete for NC's there)


Washington loves the tradition of putting 5* players in the league "they put like 50% in the league where other schools put like 20%" it's their history and tradition..
