re: Alabama Class of 2014 Recruiting MEGATHREAD (Goodnight sweet Prince)

Pounding with DH, then LF, then throw in Bo. Man that's too much.

And I don't think any RBs go anywhere unless Dee Hart transfers, but I think he's gonna be one of those guys who sticks it out for the long run.

TJ Yeldon
Kenyan Drake
Dee Hart
Jalston Fowler (mostly FB and H-Back)
Derrick Henry (I had questions on if he could make people miss and how his vision was, it looks legit)
Tyren Jones (could be better than Henry once he comes along more physically)
Altee Tenpenny
Alvin Kamara (may move to the slot in this situation)
Leonard Fournette
Bo Scarbrough (would probably play WR in this situation)


TEN deep at RB, in theory. TEN. DEEP.

Transfers will happen, only 1 ball. 2013 class may have more than a few transfers, some are already getting impatient.

Bo has proven himself as a RB. He's not a natural like LF, but he's better than several others on that list. I could see him playing as a true freshman if he makes it in.

Jovon Robinson just makes it worse

Hart wouldn't be playing STs with his knees if he was planning to transfer anytime soon, I don't see him graduating anywhere else. I would however put him aside from the RB position like Fowler.

While Kamara to the slot is a novel idea, he would still likely be behind Chris Black for most of his career. At a position that shares time with a FB and HB in a pro style offense. The RB/WR hybrid has yet to be unveiled under Saban, with several pitches attempted. People also wanted to move Drake to WR or DB early in his career, so he may have a future yet.

You never stop recruiting a position, and if it results in forcing out the guys who don't want to wait, betters the team. Thinking how you are gonna get to the NFL when you're a true freshman that's not playing isn't the right mindset. Hard work pays off, but it's not a short road.

Great problem to have, and it's not stopping anytime soon.

I just don't see or want Bo at WR. Seems like that would just be a waste of talent. I would rather see him on defense. I would like to say safety but it seems like we have some of those coming.

Great points Mag... Its tough to think about it but its the nature of the beast. Drake is a great example of a kid working hard and waiting his turn. Can't expect everybody to have that same attitude.

I wish they did. It'd be amazing if the Fantastic Four from this past class all stayed the course and all got drafted to the league.

Fournette has waaaaay more serious interest than anyone involved with LSU will have you believe. Bama has 2 very close people deep within his camp and as everyone is starting to see the job Burns and the Bama staff are doing in La is nothing short of amazing this year

I will not be shocked in the least if we land Fournette

I think Hart will stay at Bama regardless of how low he gets depth chart wise, he reminds me of Kerry Goode

I'm glad as hell Drake never got moved but I remember that talk especially after we landed him and the thought by many was slot because of his size but like you said staff stayed the course with him because they saw something special with his vision and running ability and his speed is amazing as well.

Kamara is a very similar player to Drake which is why I think he sticks at RB. Like Mag referenced, there is definitely potential for using some of our RBs in different ways particularly in the passing game with guys like Drake, Kamara, and Hart. We've shown a couple little wrinkles with CJ22 at RB.

More interestingly though is how much more of the playbook will Saban let Nuss open up with all the versatile weapons we are stockpiling.
