I don't know. I'm hoping Saban just made a position for him

That's great news! He's considered one of the best talent evaluators in football. According to the redfish crew, those around the program mourned the day that he left to go to the Eagles, and felt like he was almost impossible to replace (at least to the extent of finding someone of his caliber). With Pruitt and Marynowicz, we just added two absolutely top notch talent evaluators.

Alabama has extended an offer to Florida commit Kadarius Toney, a 2017 dual-threat quarterback from Eight Mile (Ala.) Blount, according to Ben Thomas of AL.com.

Toney, a 6-foot, 177-pound prospect, committed to the Gators earlier this month.

Other schools that have offered include Georgia Tech, South Alabama and Wake Forest.

Toney is rated the No. 67 athlete and the No. 792 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.


Kadarius Toney Highlights

He's ranked as an Athlete so that is where I am going to link his profile and highlights on the first page.

Perhaps the nation's top quarterback in the 2018 class is Irish.

Gibsonia (Pa.) Pine Richland quarterback Phil Jurkovec committed to Notre Dame during a Monday visit.


We offered him a few weeks ago.

Is Bama Guidry’s top school following the visit?

“Yes sir,” Guidry said

A couple weeks ago, Guidry said he planned to make a decision at some point in the season, but after yesterday’s visit, that decision could come much sooner.

“I really think it’s probably going to be next Sunday, the Sunday coming up,” Guidry said.

Is Bama going to take 5 WRs this year or they not confident in getting Jeudy, Smith, Collins and Ruggs?

You left out Jeff Thomas.

Seriously, though, I could see Guidry taking Collins' spot. They are roughly the same size, but Guidry is the better athlete of the two.

I think we would take all five of Jeudy, Smith, Ruggs, Thomas and Collins/Guidry.

I would hate for Bama too pass on a in state player of Collins caliber.

During Monday visit, Stephen Guidry vaulted Alabama to the lead and nearly made a verbal commitment


quote:

"I was urged to end it right there," Guidry said. "They care that you play football but it's not the most important thing while you're there. They talk about all the academic stuff with you and your classes.

"Alabama is the number one school in my recruitment. Growing up, Alabama was my dream school. It's how Nick Saban wins SEC championships, all kind of championships. And it's my mama's dream for me to go to Alabama, too. She wants me to be different."


Him being from Louisiana, I hope today's situation doesn't affect Mom's dream.

He is going to LSU this weekend.

quote:

With a top five of the Crimson Tide, LSU, Auburn, Mississippi State and Arizona State, an upcoming trip to Baton Rouge is scheduled this weekend. However, Guidry admits he doesn't know what any program would have to do to overtake the defending national champions.

It shouldn't, if anything it should help, being that the situation happened in Louisiana
