4-star LB Josh McMillon news:

quote:

Though McMillon says he has no leader or group of leaders to emerge just yet, he did offer some insight into the three schools he has visited already this spring and the trio he plans to visit.

Alabama: “Alabama plays big linebackers and that’s kind of my fit. They’ve pretty much been the number one team in the country for the last four or five years. My body style, my height and my weight fits Bama.


He also said he doesn't fit Tennessee's defense because they run a 4-3. He is from Whitehaven, TN, so I assumed UT would be in the mix. Apparently not.

2014 Achilles Heel: Quarterback play



Turnover to the NFL is old hat to Alabama.

The Crimson Tide are used to pumping stars into the pros each season. But for the past few years, AJ McCarron has been a constant at quarterback.

Now, 'Bama is left with one major question: Who will replace McCarron?

Will it be senior Blake Sims, Florida State transfer Jacob Coker or one of two young guns, David Cornwell or Cooper Bateman?

Whichever player wins the battle won't have to throw for 3,500 yards to be successful, but their play will still decide if the Tide can reclaim the national crown.

We made BR's list of the 6 teams guaranteed to get 10 wins next season:

quote:

Walkover wins: Florida Atlantic, Southern Mississippi, at Arkansas, at Tennessee, Western Carolina

Losable games: at Ole Miss, at LSU, Auburn

Alabama's 2014 schedule is very similar to last year's in that it begins with a neutral-site game against an overmatched opponent (vs. West Virginia in Atlanta), but the Crimson Tide don't need to open SEC play on the road this time around. The first road game isn't until Oct. 4 at Ole Miss, which other than LSU will be its toughest away test.

The Auburn game is in Tuscaloosa this year, but considering how revived that rivalry got in 2013, the venue won't matter much.

Unless the Tide suffer a major hiccup along the way, 10 wins shouldn't be a problem.


The other 5 were Baylor, Florida State, UL-Lafayette , Marshall and Ohio State.

Where's Auburn?

Another 5-star defensive end who has a chance to be considered the No. 1 overall prospect is CeCe Jefferson.

From Florida, Jefferson is No. 4 in the Scout 300, No. 5 in the Rivals 250 and No. 7 in the 247Sports composite rankings. The 6'2", 250-pounder is an explosive edge-defender who can get upfield to attack the passer in a hurry.

Jefferson has good strength to set the edge, plus he can get under the pads of blockers when he plays with leverage. His quickness, athleticism and solid power are all impressive assets, which is why he has a chance to be the country's top prospect.

Florida leads Alabama, Auburn, Florida State and Notre Dame, according to 247Sports.

Martez Ivey is a 5-star offensive tackle who has the athleticism to become an elite left tackle in college. The Florida native is 6'6" and 280 pounds, plus he has outstanding length in his frame.

Ivey bends well at the knees, which allows him to move freely and with terrific agility when pass blocking. He needs to get stronger, but the Sunshine State native does have the ability to get his hat on linebackers, as well as hit moving targets in the running game.

Ivey is the No. 1 overall prospect in the Scout 300, plus he's No. 4 overall in the 247Sports composite rankings. Florida is in front of Auburn, South Carolina and Alabama, per 247Sports.

Trent Thompson is a 5-star defensive tackle who is wanted by everybody who's anybody in college football. The 6'4", 292-pounder has an excellent combination of strength and quickness.

Thompson can shoot by blockers in the trenches to penetrate gaps and make stops on the other side of the line of scrimmage. Yet, he can also stack blocks and anchor versus running plays to make a mess in the middle.

He displays an impressive short-area surge to close on the ball, plus he hustles with a big motor while in pursuit.

Thompson is the No. 1 overall prospect in the 247Sports composite rankings and Rivals 250, plus he's No. 7 in the Scout 300.

why should auburn be there? They were a scrappy 8-5 team this year that had some monumentally fortunate breaks go their way, and they are losing some of their best players at crucial positions

I don't want to lose another legacy on the offensive line.

They already have 5-star OT Mitch Hyatt committed too. Dabo selling that strong stuff.

I don't think that would change much of anything as it doesn't do anything to address students leaving at half time. Doesn't Bama's current system already penalize students who don't show up for games?

I dunno.

Getting kids to stop leaving at the half is easy too. Scan ACT cards on the way out.
