re: Class of 2016 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: Waiting On Demetris Robertson Edition

Thanks.

I try to wade through all of the BS for y'all. I just got done watching a four minute video from al.com that gave me cancer. It was supposed to have some info about Ben Davis. It turned out to be some cheap Jurassic Park knockoff where the al.com writers pretended to have info. Unfortunately, I will never have those four minutes of my life back.

It's good to know my work is appreciated.

S300 TE FORRISTALL GOES CRIMSON ON VISIT
John Garcia Jr.
Recruiting Analyst

Alabama has filled recruiting needs at kicker, linebacker and now tight end this week with the addition of four-star Miller Forristall on Saturday. He pulled the trigger during an unofficial visit to Tuscaloosa.

Alabama has been as hot as it could be on the recruiting trail and it filled another need on Saturday afternoon.

Cartersville (Ga.) Tight End Miller Forristall, who just entered Scout300 less than a year after transitioning to the position from the quarterback spot, took an impromptu visit to Tuscaloosa and left as Nick Saban's latest verbal commitment. The rising senior wowed at the Crimson Tide's first prospect camp of the cycle, leaving with an offer.

"I committed to the University of Alabama because I want to play at the highest level of football with the with the best staff, and this is it," he said. "I beleive this is the place that will fit me and my work ethic.
"I'm excited."

COMMITTED

Analysis: Forristall is a former quarterback and he is still raw as a tight end, but there is a lot to like about his game now and his future. He is a very good athlete for one. He is tall, he has great length, and he has very good coordination. His hands are strong and he is very good in jump-ball situations. Very fluid when running and has very good downfield speed. Will need to add mass, become a better blocker, and refine his route-running. Upside.

Foristall joins three-star Brendan Scales among tight ends on Alabama's verbal commitment list. At this time, BamaMag sources indicate that UA is not likely to sign more than two tight ends in the class of 2016.

INSTANT ANALYSIS
"What a difference a year makes. Miller Forristall was a quarterback many division 1 schools had on their radar this time last summer - now he is a tight end committed to Alabama.

He is someone who willingly made the move to tight end to help his team and it has really paid off for him.

At tight end, he is still raw in terms of route running and blocking, but he has size you cannot coach, he is an athlete, his ball skills are very strong, he works hard at everything he does, and he is determined to succeed.

There is hard not to like Forristall a lot. He has real upside as he continues to develop at tight end and refine his overall game. Jimmy Graham comes to mind when thinking longterm. Forristall is the new-age hybrid playing tight end that is a real weapon down the field and in the red zone. He is only going to get better." --Chad Simmions,National Recruiting Analysis, Scout.com

Yes and to your point about non info, there is so much of it out there so your brevity is especially appreciated. Like when you highlight the important parts of paragraphs. Some people want to read every part of everything and for those that do thats cool. But for others its different and im glad you think of both of us. Thanks.

Just watched through riley coles hudl, and i can see why the analysts love him. He super quick, great at shedding blocks and sniffing out where the play is going, a very sure tackler, just needs to get bigger. He had fantastic stats as a junior (like 150 tackles, 20 tfl, 4 sacks, 600+ yards receiving). Hes very similar to holcombe as a lb. Hes also pretty impressive as a receiving tight end, so that's a bonus if he is not needed on defense. Im pretty sure now that he's committed to a major team hes a lock to be a 4 star before signing day. At least 2 or 3 of our current 3 stars will be 4 stars eventually.

Oregon State WR transfer Richard Mullaney will visit Alabama on Monday, not today. Alabama has an available scholarship for him. He is eligible to play this fall.

From bone

We haz a CB for Dontavious Jackson















From Demetric Warren which is almost like me making a CB prediction.

I don't. He was already an All-conference caliber WR. Our other guys have very good talent, but have yet to show it in an actual game. He'll play early and often and have a big role.

Top-100 CB Knott to visit Vols again

Top-100 rising senior cornerback Nigel Knott of Germantown High School in Madison, Miss., posted on his Twitter account Sunday afternoon that he's "heading to Knoxville this weekend" to visit Tennessee again.

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Knott's visit likely will coincide with the Vols' Orange Carpet Day on Saturday. He previously attended one of Tennessee's junior days in early March.

Knott announced Friday that he would be making his college decision known at Nike's The Opening, which will be held July 5-10 in Beaverton, Ore. But he tweeted Sunday that he's "possibly changing the date that I set to make my decision."

He said he would have "more information tonight" regarding his plans for announcing his decision but added that "it will be before the first home game" of his senior season if he changes his announcement date.

Alabama, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Florida State have hosted Knott for camps since May 31. The 247Sports Crystal Ball points to Florida State as the favorite to land him, with the Seminoles getting 31 percent of the current predictions, Oregon getting 23 percent and 15 percent each going to Alabama and Ole Miss.

Knott is ranked the nation's No. 74 overall prospect and No. 7 cornerback in the 247Sports Composite for the 2016 class.

He said in his tweets to watch his unofficial visits. I hope he doesn't become another sucker for Butch's brick by brick bs.
