Plus there has been some uncertainty if Flowers is being recruited as a running back.


There's so many mysteries regarding Flowers, they should issue him a jersey with a question mark as the number.

Alabama commit Ronnie Harrison had a huge game for his Tallahassee (Fla.) Florida High team in a region opening win over DeFuniak Springs (Fla.) Walton. Harrison, who is a defensive back prospect, also plays quarterback for his high school team and was 21-29 for 422 yards and 5 passing touchdowns in the 49-32 win.

Florida High improves to 4-1 on the season. Harrison, who committed to Alabama on July 29, plans to return to Tuscaloosa on October 18 when the Tide face Texas A&M.

The Sunshine State standout ranks as the no. 153 overall prospect and the no. 7 safety in the 2015 cycle according to the 247Sports Composite.

I wonder if Scott is accurate as a PK?

Griffith can boot it, just has trouble y'know, putting it through.

How do we keep letting him have any say? I say to offer any and every kicker that FSU and Auburn offer. They have more success.

Minkah is staying another night at FSU. He was supposed to leave today. Meeting with the FSU coaches tonight. And the hits just keep on coming...

Per the Auburn recruiting thread, Daron Payne said in an interview that Darrell Williams is recruiting him to Auburn. Sounds like the ship with DW has sailed...

Good. I never wanted him.

When we run the table a la 2011 everyone will come back to earth.

Yeldon is on point. Coop is on point.

We win out.

Believe bitches.

I want to believe that our team can pull a rabbit out of a hat and go from looking lost to being dominant. Hell, I believed as soon as the 2012 TAMU game was over that we could quite possibly maybe be in the hunt.

I just don't see anything "relentless" or dominant with this team.

We need to stop sucking arse on our ilb recruiting. Damn it, Whitley

Looking back at the 2012 class:

Landon Collins: Second year starter, beast, projected 1st rounder

Eddie Williams: Off the team

TJ Yeldon: Second year starter, third year major contributor, beast, projected 2nd or 3rd rounder

Reggie Ragland: First year starter, good against the run, not good in coverage. Reminds me a lot of Nico Johnson more than Trey DePriest

Cyrus Jones: Second year starter, not good last year, solid this year

Chris Black: Contributing this year, hurt before his first season

Amari Cooper: Beast since day 1. Top 10 draft pick, maybe later but definitely a 1st rounder.

Geno Smith: Solid when he played as a Freshman, in the doghouse last year, good in his PT this year

Ryan Anderson: Finally a contributor this year, has shown flashes.

Dillon Lee: Has been in trouble twice, so could be in the doghouse

Tyler Hayes: Off the team

Brandon Greene: Was a good blocking TE last year when he played, haven't noticed him in that role much this year

Kenyan Drake: Electric when he plays

Denzel Devall: Three year contributor, has never really broken out

Korren Kirven: Has done nothing

Travell Dixon: Left team

Dalvin Tomlinson: Injured a lot, but has been solid when he has played

Alphonse Taylor: Hasn't played much except this year. Look good, but isn't starting

Dakota Ball: Didn't work out on the DL, has been ok as a blocking TE

Deion Belue: Solid two year starter

Kurt Freitag: Has never done anything really

Alec Morris: Buried on the depth chart, seems to be the 3rd QB this year. Will probably never play.

Darren Lake: Has played a bit at Nose, but the light hasn't come on. Looks like it won't.

Caleb Gulledge: I don't even remember what happened to him.

Adam Griffith: Big leg, not accurate

Cece got CB'd to the Rebs by Demetric Warren and their 247 writer, David Johnson.

Interestingly enough, saw Nico tweeting at Reggie earlier to text him. Hopefully it is advice.

The Al.com beat writer put in a CB for Minkah to Florida State late last night.

When college football coaches are hitting the road in search of finding the nation’s top talent, three states are among the primary territories every staff in the country identifies as a top destination: Florida, Texas and California.

However, several other states are underrated in terms of producing a bevy of FBS recruits.

With respect to the 2015 class, there are a number of talented players from outside the top three talent-producing states.

Which recruits represent 2015’s top prospects who don’t hail from Florida, Texas or California?

9. Lester Cotton

The state of Alabama has produced its share of standout recruits in recent years—former Tide star Julio Jones and current Alabama running back T.J. Yeldon are examples of players who were among the nation’s elite as recruits.

This year, the Yellowhammer State has three players in the nation’s top 50 recruits in the 2015 class. Included in that group is 4-star offensive lineman Lester Cotton—who projects as the top interior lineman prospect in the country.

The Alabama pledge is simply dominant as a road-grading guard on the prep level. As AL.com’s Drew Champlin notes, Cotton recorded an absurd 22 pancake blocks in his team’s opening game of the season.

"All the explosive plays came on Lester's side," Central-Tuscaloosa offensive line coach Joseph Taylor told Champlin. "The offensive coordinator and I talked, and we would both give him an 'A' (for his game performance)."

Given his brute strength and physicality, it’s no surprise that Cotton was among Nick Saban’s top targets early in the 2015 cycle.

5. Minkah Fitzpatrick

The three recruiting power states are home to the nation’s top four 2015 corner prospects.

At No. 5 lies New Jersey native Minkah Fitzpatrick, who recorded 33 pass breakups and six interceptions over his previous two seasons at St. Peter's Prep.

The 6’1”, 198-pounder committed to Alabama in April, and he’s spent time this season doubling as an all-purpose threat on offense. While he’s proved to be an all-around stud athlete, there’s a reason that Nick Saban made him a priority recruit in a class that is currently ranked as the nation’s best.

When it comes to ball skills, cover skills, size and athletic ability, Fitzpatrick is one of the few defensive backs in the 2015 class who have the potential to be lockdown corners at the next level.

It wouldn't be a turn for the worst unless Minkah decommits. It's just been in a lull since August. We also seem to be shifting priorities on who we are recruiting.

It seems Matt Womack has become a much bigger priority than he was just a few weeks ago. Womack is from MS and was at the game saturday. His dad does all of the recruiting interviews for him. His dad said he's still committed to LSU, but will take more visits to Ttown. He also said the game was good, but they wished it had a different outcome.
