The problem is some of those guys are good source of info and do have some good info but others calling them out then they go away. You always want to have a couple guys give you legit info

that's true. but ive always felt like the best sources are from friends and families of players. Most of these "insiders" who pretend to know everything about everything are just full of crap and/or regurgitating other posts they've read.

Prince and Valentine would be a great finish to this class.

it would have to give us the top OL class in the nation this year.

remember way back when we would be excited about a #1 position group class, or even something like #3 WR class in the nation.

nowadays we just lock up the #1 overall class and don't even look at individual position groups.

Before I summarize the nuggets I'd like to point out that we just got another CB for Isaiah Prince.

Nuggets:

-Alabama has surged to the lead for Isaiah Prince and he could end up committing in the near future.
-It appears Drew Richmond will stick with Ole Miss at this time.
-Chidi has some academic concerns and could reclassify back to 2016 or be headed to a JUCO.
-Darrell Williams, Ray-Ray McCloud and Ryan Davis were all told we didn’t have room for them to take an official visit this weekend.
-Joshua McMillon cancelled his visit to Michigan because he didn’t want to lose his spot in the class.

-Due to the 2015 class being almost complete, Saban was able to visit Lyndell Wilson, Marlon Davidson and John Broussard this week.

-Sources from both Alabama and LSU camps believe Charlot will sign with Alabama.

-Calvin Ridley is solid and taking his OV to Alabama this weekend.
-SBB is in California for an all-star game so he has rescheduled his OV to next weekend.
-Alabama is out for Cowart.
-The door is still cracked for CeCe Jefferson but Auburn and Ole Miss appear to have the momentum for him.
-Saban and Smart visited Prince Tega last night in the hospital and are trying to get him on campus after NSD on an official visit. Numbers will play a big role on if he gets an offer.

My thoughts as of this moment. All subject to change in the next 10 minutes
CB Montrell Custis -- Out. To visit Ole Miss this weekend.

WR Daylon Charlot -- In

WR KJ Hill -- Alabama lean

OT Chidi Valentine-Okeke -- Alabama lean

OT Isaiah Prince -- In the mix. UA taking 2 OTs not out of the realm of possibility.

OT Drew Richmond -- OM extremely confident

TE Tyrone Wheatley -- In the mix

DB Rico McGraw -- This one could go back and forth over the next week or so. Earlier this week, Alabama was in stronger position than what has been posted on the the internet. But, as we've warned for weeks, he's one to watch.

Others

Byron Cowart -- visit to UF this weekend big. Ryan Davis, his buddy, with him. FSU hiring Lawing could make a difference. Just a hunch here -- nothing more -- is that he doesn't up at Auburn.

CeCe Jefferson -- OM extremely confident as of last night. They hope he can deliver Holland. Feeling last night among neutral observers was CeCe would likely end up at OM or Florida.

Per Tider Insider:

Some dude on BOL is hearing we close with Isaiah Prince, KJ Hill and Charlot.

I don't know if he is an insider or not.

From Bone's recruiting notes last night:

-Moton is likely headed to Mississippi State.
-It looks like Custis will go elsewhere.
-McMillon is solid.
-Kerryon Johnson and Jalen Harris considered visiting this weekend but will not make it.
-Four Alabama assistants visited CeCe Jefferson yesterday, including Kirby and Bo Davis. Jefferson is saying he will attend the same school as Cowart. Alabama is not a finalist for Cowart.
-Florida is trying to get Adonis Thomas to visit this weekend. It appears that won’t happen.
-Mekhi Brown is taking his OV to Alabama this weekend.
-Tosh Lupoi visited Lawrence Cager yesterday. New OLB coach confirmed?
-He predicts that Rico McGraw will flip back to Georgia.

I don't see how we can take the hits of McGraw and Custis flipping without a contingency plan.

The final class of 2015 rankings saw some small shakeups in the team rankings. Here is where we stand post All-Star season as National Signing Day fast approaches.

quote:
1. Alabama

The Crimson Tide saw quite a bit of movement. Both Blake Barnett and Deionte Thompson fell from the five-star ranks, but Alabama remains strong at the No. 1 spot. Nick Saban and his staff added a commitment from five-star running back Damien Harris, who joins five-star Alabama commitments Minkah Fitzpatrick, Daron Payne, and Calvin Ridley. Defensive end Mekhi Brown also re-entered the Rivals250 and Rico McGraw made an appearance as well. Overall, the Crimson Tide have commitments from 18 prospects in the Rivals250.

Yeah and Custis is a mutual parting that's been in the works for a while. Basically look at it like trading Custis for Sheffield.
