He did just interview him, but I didn't get to read that interview. It's possible that Gary was overly positive about Auburn

I've always thought that our position with Gary is kind of like Nkemdiche. It looks like we had a legitimate shot at one point, but now I am not so sure.

I can just see him dying to play for Awbrun.Probably was a lifelong fan living in New Jersey. And how could he not be impressed by the town and University?

CARTERSVILLE, Ga. - Miller Forristall could not be happier about his decision to commit to Alabama. He talks about that, what exactly Nick Saban told him he is committing to, and more here...

Nick Saban told Miller Forristall something very interesting when the 6-foot-5, 215 pound tight end committed to Alabama Saturday June 13. Saban let Forristall know, it is not just about committing to Alabama, that there is more to it than that.
Learn more about this, why the four-star out of Cartersville (Ga.) committed to the Crimson Tide, and more in this interview.


interview

One interesting thing he said was that the coaching staff told him we will see OJ Howard split out wide more and catching passes out of the backfield.

We are actually going to use our TEs this year?

This is going to go like Nkemdiche. We were on him very early on, but ole miss swooped in late. Cristobal and Alabama have been on Gary for three years. But I don't have high hopes of landing him.

247 predicts us to finish at #5 in the final recruiting ranking LINK

That would be our lowest ranked class since 2010. I could see it happening.

Former West Virginia running back Andrew Buie has been in talks with Alabama about a possible transfer to Tuscaloosa. Buie was in town over the weekend visiting and sources tell BOL that the 5'foot'9, 190 pounder has a spot with Alabama if he wishes to take it. The same sources indicate Buie is nervous about the Tide depth chart and given that he has only one year of eligibility remaining, wants to make sure he is in a position to play and play plenty.

I'd rather give the scholarship to Christian Bell. Buie likely wouldn't see the field unless Henry or Drake gets injured.

That's exactly why I hope we land him. A really decent insurance policy.

But will he be okay with being that for us, or will he be another malcontent when Drake and Henry get most of the carries? I also don't want him to take away carries from Damien Harris. Otherwise, we could enter 2016 with no experience at the RB position.

I see it as the same because he always seems positive when about UA but never names us his leader. He really does not give a lot away regarding where he is leaning. RN most UA fans assumed because of his HS coach the relationship he built with our coaches he was coming to UA.

Nah. Nothing like Nkemdiche. We have the best shot at the moment, followed by Michigan, OSU, FSU, and the Barn is trying to get in the mix.

Hopefully we can reel him in. Kinda feels like Dashawn Hand's recruitment a little.

Based on what, what you have read. I have not seen anything other then some site writers crystal ball him to us. He has et to name us his leader unless I have missed it somewhere.

Maybe but everything he seems to posts that I have seen have been from pay sites so why I was asking what he has read because I do not subscribe but read a lot of the same info others post that he posts. I thought maybe something out there I had yet seen yet. Everything I have read so far is speculations and reading between the lines from the sites. But then again we do not always fair well when a recruit names us his leader either.

I agree. There is nothing wrong with that but he keeps a very pro Bama stance on a lot of the national recruits that seems hearsayish (is that a word?).

The defensive line group at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge Presented by Under Armour included several top prospects. We take a look at those who stood out the most while in Baltimore.


quote:

2 DT Marvin Wilson (2017)
Houston (Texas) Episcopal

Defensive tackle was a loaded position with several top 2016 talents on hand, but Wilson was the best of the group. Wilson has the kind of size and athleticism to blow by most, but he also showed control and intelligence. He took more reps than anyone else at the camp, and he did not rely on one move to get wins. He made adjustments and sought advice from coaches. Of course, his first step was impressive, as were his violent hands. The overall performance stood out, to say the least.

4 DT Rashan Gary
Paramus (N.J.) Paramus Catholic

It does not take long to notice Gary's motor and aggressive play. His hand placement gets a bit off at times and he gets a little high, but he more than makes up for it with his strength and explosive first step. Along with his power and quickness, he used a variety of pass rush moves to gain the advantage in one-on-one situations and won rep after rep.
