Have we ever had a better recruiter than Reuben? He has been unreal

Rueben should get into coaching at come back to Bama as a coach. This guy has been the best player-recruiter hands down. He gets it done with the recruits period.

Rueben has been one of the best recruiters that I have seen from a player, he's been doing work! Looking forward to seeing him being a leader for this team this year and having a tremendous season. Welcome to the home of the Champions Benton, Roll Tide!

Basically, as others have said, we have two more slots for a handful of guys. Want to sign 5 LBs total (according to redfish).

Allen
Beal
Moses
Rice

2 out of that list of 4 or so. And I'm not sure where we technically are recruiting Hamsah Nasirildeen for. Safety or OLB.

Anyone else think Moses might be a problem when he gets to college? He has been a superstar recruit sine the 8th grade. He might come in and don't want to compete and just be handed a starting job.

Lol,nope!He said he had told the coaching staff of where he was going, but would let the public know the following week (which was last week ). I would have liked to have known what Saban told him.lol Something changed whether it was the rumors of what he did at Img,or with Benton commiting changed that. I guess we won't know the real truth. It is suspicious that Ignot kept pushing his announcement back and then Benton commiting in this time frame. Up until a week ago, almost everyone thought Benton was going to the barn.

Nope I don't think so. I'm pretty sure any kid that comes to Bama knows they are going to have to work to get a starting spot.

No, I don't think he would be a problem not wanting to compete for a job. Maybe at Lsu if Les tells him that he will start fay 1 as a recruiting pitch. I'm sure he knows that if he comes to Bama that Saban won't give anyone a starting job unless they earn it. Who knows though, I wouldn't have thought Derrick Henry almost transferredhis freshman year cause he didn't get any playing time until the bowl game. I was shocked when he said that after this year.

To be fair, he was better than Drake and TJ as a freshman, but just didn't block. I'm glad he stuck with and i'm sure as hell he is too. His story proves that hard work really pays off

Yep! I remember being pissed off every game that he wasn't playing. Especially during the barn game when it was 4th and 1, and Yeldon got stuffed by Carl Lawson and we know what happened after that. Makes me sick to my stomach. Thank God Kiffin came in during bowl preparation and said why in the heck hasn't Henry been playing.
