Yeah. I'm assuming it's about SDH. It says a Rivals 100 LB.

BOL poster regarding Fournette:

quote:

I get my information the same way most of us do - hearsay! My source claims to have a close friend on staff and I believe the guy but we'll see. He's told me in June that Big Cam was a Bama lock and in July started telling me that Da'Shawn Hand and Leonard Fournette would be wearing crimson. Mainly on his confidence, I've been relaying that point of view on this board. Seemed like everyone thought Da'Shawn Hand was going to Michigan and he told me to pay no attention to that. He was right about Da'Shawn Hand and made me look smarter than I really am.

Now he's been telling me Fournette's Dad and Fournette himself have been digging Bama all along because of Burton Burns, Bama's track record with RBs in the NFL, the academic support and the ability to rotate with other RBs so as to lengthen his career. He respects our running back corps but he's not intimidated. He has been getting some pressure from friends to go to LSU and he likes both staffs. The biggest problem has been Momma not being quite sure about it. Sort of like Christian Miller.

This is just hearsay and of course things can change but I was really encouraged by the recent nugget we saw that after the OV to the Bama-LSU game on 11/9, both parents would solidly support a decision to choose Bama. That is a big deal.

I'm not saying he is a lock and I'm not pretending to know anything myself because I don't personally know these people. But I believe the boy's gonna wear Crimson because my source is credible to me and I think that is why our coaches have not budged on recruiting Mixon or Roc Thomas or any other RB. It's Fournette or bust baby. TIFWIW and Roll Tide!

Two recruits, one committed to FSU and one committed to USCe, have predicted Marlon to FSU.

Does anyone else think this new feature cheapens the crystal ball predictions? It's hard to look at on mobile and quickly decipher whether the predictor is an "expert", a recruit being honest, or a recruit trolling. Some recruits may know where each other is going, but others are guessing. I'm sure Fournette has not told Miller where he is going. I know the experts sometimes just guess, but at least they have somewhat followed the kid's recruitment.

Who cares what the prospects think?

They get caught up on visit highs and lows.

If you remember Lache Seastrunk was telling Saban he was coming for him during a visit to Auburn and he ended up at Oregon.

The analysts from BOL are the ones to follow. Contrary to LSURb belief they don't blow smoke up people's asses.

If they predict someone to Bama odds are he commits/signs.

I just think the new format is cluttered. I do most of my surfing on mobile so it can be hard to decipher who is making each pick (expert or recruit?)

Side note: it looks like a lot of Bama people are getting involved in Matt's recruitment. From his twitter page:

quote:

Carson Tinker: @FballIsLife69 Roll Tide bro


quote:

Matt Elam: Just Got Off The Phone With Coach Saban!! #Bama

Derek Kief @FballIsLife69 call him back and commit


quote:

Mekhi Brown: @FballIsLife69 follow back bruh, gotta get you to commit

I got to talk to my microeconomics teacher from high school and he has Marlon 100% to FSU. He is the head track coach there and has met Marlon and his family several times in 4 years. He asked the parents at the last track event about Marlon's plans after college and they said FSU.

It may mean nothing to you guys, but I have respect for the source.

Yeah I think he might end up at FSU, but I know kids can change their minds and I'm hoping this is the case.

Side note: Did anyone else see in the 247 chat where one of the 247 team staff was most confident in Mo Smith starting next year at corner, even more confident than Cyrus Jones being a starter?

I'm not doubting you dude, but I'll take Bobby's word over some FSU coaches'.

Bobby works for Jr. and he's told a few people that Marlon is going to Bama.
