Can you imagine Henry and Bo as our RBs?

Opposing defenses would be begging for mercy after all that pounding.

Bo looks as big as Henry in that film. I say forget about Fournette and roll with Bo as our RB in this class. If healthy he is a beast.

Bo is a beast for sure. One thing that concerns me though is how he is carrying the ball. With Droptimus Prime and Fumbletron leading our offense this year, I sure hope he works on ball security. The ball could have been stripped a few times in that clip if he were playing SEC competition.

I just think the time it has taken to have a legit shot at Fournette could have been used in places we are in more of a need.

Bo is a beast. Reminds me a lot of Todd Gurley. Big guy with a lot of power and straight line speed. If you can take him and Fournette though, you take him and Fournette.

Honestly on HS film the guy that Fournette reminds me the most of is a fella that graduated from Daphne HS a few years ago. They look like the same back.

I would rather fournette, simply for the meltdown that would accompany his signing, but I won't be shocked if Bo ends up having a better career. They are both studs

I know most of us have written him off to Auburn, but I guess it warrants mentioning that Rashaan Evans is now a 5-star on practically every site.

He had Auburn as his leader two weeks ago, then said UCLA was his leader after the AL-MS game. Today he says all his favorites are even and that Official Visits will be a big factor in who he chooses.

We should get an official at least.

Appears Marcelys Jones' CB is swinging back to Ohio State.

don't really care we get him. Looks like Christian miller will stick, and he is the superior olb. I honestly can't figure out why he is not considered a top 5 player with the season he had

Probably won't get Evans, that's like Humphrey going to the Barn. Would like to settle for Chad Thomas from Miami. A pass rushing nightmare.

I wouldn't say Miller is superior. He's certainly taller and longer, but Evans is faster and bulkier.

I saw the new ratings and one thing stood out over the rest..

How in the world is Lorenzo Carter still a 5-Star??? I'm sorry but on size and ability he is a 5-Star but as a player he is a 3-Star and heart probably a 1-Star.


Absolutely. DO. NOT. WANT.

Alright Buc since it appears that options A and B for safety are off the table, who is on the radar?


Just saw this today (been busy and whatnot) I'm very skeptical about Hootie but I guess until he completely rules Bama out all the way, he is still an option. Ronnie Clark will be a S I am almost positive, you usually have to look at the way positions are recruited and guys have filled that OLB spot RC would play and he could be a special talent at S.

Moving forward, I think staff really is focusing more on CBs and sees that as a bigger need, they were played by Hampton and I truly believe Hootie was an out of the blue thing after his OV, but I also believe it didn't catch them totally off guard and their actions seem to indicate they aren't as concerned or rather they have seen enough on roster that they have a plan to address the need, because it is a need that will still be addressed in due time.

I could see the staff putting a full court press on a couple guys like JuJu or Davion but not sure if staff feels like those guys are worth going after (not a realistic shot at landing in other words). Spaces are now tight and you don't wanna go after a guy and court him only to see him stay home on NSD (Davion is from Tx and committed to Baylor, JuJu is in Cali and said to be heavily favoring USCw). The spots left right now are being held or staff has seen what they think are better overall prospects (I.E. Travis Rudolph and Chad Thomas) and they'd rather get one of those guys than go after a 2nd tier S target IMHO.

Bama likely isn't holding a spot for Rudolph because they know he's playing them.

One of his coaches has came out after and said his favorite is still FSU. Josh Newberg of FSU 247 doesn't think this turn of events matters enough to change his crystal ball from FSU either.

Just like Hampton, he's drumming up excitement...

Agree Mag. He is just playing us. Apparently that is the new thing in recruiting is to pretend to have interest in Bama only to say you are rolling with _____.(insert team not named alabama). It is what it is.

Which guys currently on roster will get a look at safety?
