LSU commit TE Jacory Washington may be visiting this weekend too. At least according to ESPN:
Interdasting.

Oh ok that would be a nice flip and would cause insanity on here but Im not holding my breath
Discussion though - bringing OJ then him back to back would be an insanely good back to back TE pull

Humphrey story from BR:

quote:
Saban addressed the issue in recruiting, pulling in the nation's top two cornerback prospects in Tony Brown, an early enrollee, and Humphrey. Brown's a tremendous athlete who should blossom into another great Alabama defensive back, but Humphrey is the pill that should remedy the issue immediately because he is ready to play.
Humphrey is the nation's No. 1 cornerback, according to 247sports.com, and at 6'1" has the length to be a problem both at the line of scrimmage and in coverage. The long arms will help him press at the point, to reroute receivers and disrupt timing, and in the back-end the length will aid him in raking arms, knocking down passes and closing down quarterback windows.
In addition to the frame, the Hoover, Alabama defensive back is capable physically. He has the speed to run with wideouts and is physical enough in his game play to get active against the run.
quote:
Yet, the true positives of Humphrey come with his polish. Last season, Vernon Hargreaves and Kendall Fuller entered the collegiate world ready to step on the field and play from not only a physical standpoint, but a mental and technical standpoint as well. Humphrey fits into that mold as a player who has been taught how to play the game well, and it shows.
Saban's prize recruit pushes his pedal well, maintaining the cushion and seeing through the receiver to the quarterback. He is capable, and comfortable, playing both man-to-man and zone coverages, something that gives him a leg up on most DBs transitioning to the next level.
quote:
Although Humphrey is not an early enrollee like Brown, he will be very much in the competition to not only get on the field, but see starter minutes at the cornerback spot. He brings good pad level, flexible hips and a tremendous understanding to the position and those are all things that were lacking a season ago for the Crimson Tide.
Saban knows football well, and the appeal of Humphrey, as a player who can compete early, certainly was critical in recruiting. The measurables are there for the nation's top-ranked cornerback, and more importantly he possesses the polish to be the contributor Alabama needs.

After losing a commitment from quarterback Ricky Town, Alabama hit the reset button on its quarterback recruiting for the 2015 class and on Thursday the Tide extended its first new offer at the position since Town's decommitment. Stephenville, Texas star Jarrett Stidham confirmed on Twitter that he received a scholarship offer from the Crimson Tide just hours after being visited by Alabama assistant Billy Napier on Thursday.
Just got offered by Alabama! #RTR
— Jarrett Stidham (@Jarrett_Stidham) January 31, 2014
Stidham, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound prospect rated the nation's No. 2 dual-threat quarterback prospect by the 247Composite rankings, told BamaOnline he received word of the scholarship offer during a phone conversation with Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin.
"It definitely puts them in the mix with everything," Stidham told the site. "I'll just have to keep building the relationships with them and all that kind of stuff."
As a full-time starter for Stephenville High School last season, Stidham passed for 2,613 yards and 30 touchdowns with just five interceptions while running for another 821 yards and 14 touchdowns. Stidham was a participant at Alabama's summer camp session last summer.

Hopefully Kiffin can impress some of these guys. I watched some of the film also and LOVED what I saw like you TS but I hope he will realistically consider Bama and not be stuck on staying in Tx

Then I guess that means he'd rather play offense.

He's originally from Kentucky so he doesn't have those Texas roots like most kids.
I assume his offer is committable since he came to camp last summer and was able to throw for the coaches, but I wouldn't stake my life on it.
Town got his committable offer by throwing at camp this past summer too.
Another thing to consider regarding Stidham is that this past season was his first as a starting QB. He played WR his Sophomore season.
He was throwing in camp as a virtual nobody last year.

You really should take a few minutes to watch his offensive highlights. He doesn't even get tackled until 3 minutes in
His cutting, vision, and speed jump off the screen. Doesn't plow anyone over in the video but breaks through some tackles.Posted on 1/31/14 at 12:04 pm to MrTide33

Wonder how that'll work with Kiffin? I know Saban always has final say but some kids film looks really great you know throwing is gonna be good
His film was similar a little to Jameis Winston to me, that is interesting he played WR and I didn't know he was from Ky that ought to help Bama's chances

Saban and Kirby visited Ty Flournoy-Smith this morning. They told him he would know by Monday if he has an offer. He is taking an OV to Louisville this weekend. He has 3 years to play 2.
