#Alabama & #OleMiss among those standing out to Top50 DE Jeffery Simmons.
quote:
Macon (Ms.) Noxubee County Top50 defensive end Jeffery Simmons tells 247Sports that if he were making his college decision on this day, the Monday he received his U.S. Army All-American Bowl jersey, it would be tough to say no to Alabama and Ole Miss.
“Them two right there,” Simmons continued. “I’ve visited them both a bunch of times and have a relationship with their coaches. Especially the d-line coaches, Coach Bo (Davis at Alabama) and Coach (Chris) Kiffin (at Ole Miss), I have a great relationship with them.”
He's scheduled to visit Ole Miss this weekend for their game against A&M and he'll be in Tuscaloosa for our game against LSU.

Lauded Alabama linebacker Ben Davis thoroughly enjoyed his first game-day experience in Athens, Georgia.
The 5-star Gordo High School senior spent this past weekend on campus for his first of five official visits and admits he was fired up throughout the Bulldogs' victory over Missouri.
"The atmosphere was so turnt! I felt like suiting up and playing," Davis told Bleacher Report.
Rated No. 1 overall among inside linebackers in national composite rankings, he is regarded as one of America's most prized uncommitted 2016 prospects. Davis, the son of all-time Alabama Crimson Tide tackles leader Wayne Davis, carries dozens of scholarship offers.
He placed the focus on five universities earlier this month, identifying Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, LSU and Florida State as his favorites.
The Bulldogs, who previously welcomed Davis to campus during the offseason, led off an eventful official visit itinerary.
"I had a great time. I got to talk to the whole coaching staff. I got to hang out with a lot of players," Davis said.
He mentioned linebackers Leonard Floyd and Jordan Jenkins, wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell and defensive back John Abram as members of the team who helped make him feel welcome.
However, it was his experience with Bulldogs coaches that especially stood out.
"I really spent a lot of time with the defensive coaching staff. [Defensive coordinator Jeremy] Pruitt and [linebackers coach Kevin] Sherrer sat me down and showed me how I would be playing at Georgia," Davis said.
They detailed the role that would await him in Athens.
"Inside linebacker and I would be an every-down 'backer with my ability. Rushing the passer up the middle on third down also," he said.
Pruitt, who previously served as an Alabama defensive assistant from 2007-2012, evoked the memory of a former Crimson Tide standout while sizing up Davis' skill set.
"Coach Pruitt said I remind him of like a Rolando McClain type player with my ability and also playing on the offensive side of the ball like Rolando did. He said I'm that type of player to him," Davis said.
McClain, an All-American and Butkus Award winner in college, was a top-10 pick in the 2010 NFL draft and currently plays for the Dallas Cowboys.
Davis arrived at Georgia last week ready to soak in the experience and evaluate everything. The result appears to be a positive one for the Bulldogs.
"I love the campus. It was huge. Georgia after this visit stands as one of my tops," he said.
Davis confirmed his second official visit will take place next month at LSU, where he'll watch the Tigers compete against Arkansas on Nov. 14.
Official visits to Florida State, Auburn and Alabama are expected to occur after his senior season. Davis plans to announce a final decision on national signing day.

Is Pruitt trying to take credit for McClain? He wasn't even his position coach, he was off-field in player development.

He's taking credit for Ro never discharging a fire arm in someone's ear while under his watch

Former long-time Bama commit and Miss State signee TD Moton has qualified and will be enrolling at Texas A&M next spring (with 4 years of eligibility). Congrats to the kid for sticking with it. Too bad it didnt work out for him at Alabama...

Yep, glad he gets to play in the SEC like he wanted.

I also wanted to point out that BOL, and all of the other 247 sites, is free until January 1st. If you make an account you can read every article published across their network from now until next year. It's a great deal.
I'm perusing the Notre Dame board at the moment to find out info on Demetris Robertson.

Tom Loy expects Khalid Kareem to commit to ND sometime this week. Good luck to the young man.

Steve Wiltfong on why he put in the "Cloudy" CB for Demetris Robertson:
quote:
I talked to him today. Story coming later.
I do think ND led coming out of the Texas visit but I think that's worn off. He was supposed to come back this past weekend with his brother and didn't make it. He mentioned returning for a basketball game. We'll see if that happens.
I actually think he ends up back at Alabama or chooses Georgia.
Stanford is a major player. Ohio State, LSU among others also in play.

Loy on Robertson:
quote:
If he doesn't return, he won't be coming to Notre Dame. The Irish absolutely led coming out of his visit. He told multiple people that behind the scenes. Getting him here for the USC game could have been the difference maker. Notre Dame will be out to see him on Friday. We'll see what happens at that point. The plan has always been for him to return for the banquet in December, but he wanted to squeeze in the ND-USC visit. He's been very pro-UGA and Bama recently from his Twitter activity, which can be quite telling. Again though, if he returns in December, look out.
