Hank South on Jake Fromm:
quote:
Great pocket presence. Doesn't immediately scramble when pressure picks up. Great arm strength, throws a really pretty ball. Also doesn't hone in on his go-to WR he's a decisive decision maker and can check down all his options. Has good speed too, can run it when pocket completely breaks down. I really like his film, I think he's a great fit at 'Bama.

The high school football season in the Midwest has passed the halfway point, and several prospects are making cases for a higher rating, while others are not playing to their current rating. Here is a look at seven who's stocks are on the move.

TE Brendan Scales
Wildwood (Mo.) Lafayette
Game film was the only evaluation tool we had for Scales coming into the season. Seeing is believing, though, and watching the Alabama commit live in his season opener showed us more depth to his game. Scales looks every bit his listed 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, and probably plays a little heavier right now. He has a great frame to add weight and not lose athleticism, but his ball skills are on the plus side for the tight end position and he can definitely create mismatches when split out in the slot.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban already has added another key piece to his 2017 recruiting class, landing star quarterback Jake Fromm to his list of incoming talent.
According to Hank South of BamaOnline.com, Fromm announced his decision Saturday while on an unofficial visit for the Crimson Tide's game against Arkansas.
"Fromm is the Tide’s first quarterback taken in the cycle and the eighth overall commitment in the class. Fromm was recruited by offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin. The Peach State quarterback was offered by the staff in April after an unofficial visit and recently visited campus for the Ole Miss game."
Fromm described the environment at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the Mississippi-Alabama game as "incredible" in the report.
According to 247Sports' official scouting report, he is listed at 6'3" and 220 pounds, is rated a 4-star pro-style quarterback and is the No. 9 player at the position in the 2017 recruiting class.
Per 247Sports' team rankings, the addition of Fromm moves Alabama into the second spot, behind Ohio State, with eight commitments all rated 4-stars or better thus far.
The addition of Fromm is also significant for the Crimson Tide because they have questions at quarterback right now. Jake Coker has been erratic this season after taking over for Blake Sims. The team does have dual-threat quarterback Jalen Hurts arriving next year, but Saban's offense has traditionally favored a pocket passer.
While Fromm's arrival is off in the distance for Alabama fans, few head coaches in the country are better at building future depth than Saban. He's been able to address a key position early and can use that to sell other high-profile skill position players on what this offense will look like soon.

Fromm is a chest tat away from being McCarron clone.

I'll try to watch his whole tape tomorrow (it's almost bed time for me) and I'll put something together.
I gotta say I like what I see from just 2-3 minutes of film.
He looks like a QB should for sure. He's big.
Hackenberg.

Starting to hear more from various recruits how much they like seeing freshmen like Minkah, Payne, Ridley and Harrison star for #Alabama.

I highly doubt we land Isaac Nauta, but getting the #1 TE on campus for an OV?
I'll drink to that.

Fromm spent time with Tide commits Riley Cole and Miller Forristall, and already plans to transform from the recruit to the recruiter.
“Yeah definitely,” Fromm said. “It’s not something that I’ll take too lightly because I want to make my class the best I can make it. I’m ready to do it. I’m ready to take on that role.”

Its something about Alabama prospects...my theory is that is because college football is solo big in the state they have no choice but to play the game

Shane Youngblood from BOL says they are trying to get in touch with Nigel Knott to see how his visit went this weekend.

Bama has a small ace up it's sleeve with Isaac Nauta. One of his assistant's at IMG is a former Bama OL, who is pushing Bama to him. Think we should have a shot at it when it's all said and done.

Despite what I posted the other day about Ole Miss and Little, I'd say that it's VERY encouraging that his last visit is to us, just a few days before he makes his decision. Hopefully the good guys prevail here. Little, Williams, and Baldwin would be a historic OT haul.
