So ESPN updated their terrible rankings today. I honestly don't know how they come up with some of these. The real head scratcher is Lowell Narcisse, coming off two immensely disappointing major camp appearances, being 58 spots ahead of Tua, who dominated the Elite 11. Hell, the other L5U QB commit (Brennan) made the Elite 11 Finals and is 130 spots below Narcisse.

He’s been committed to Alabama since last April. But until he took an unofficial visit for their camp last week, there was plenty of speculation that Najee Harris wouldn’t end up at Alabama. The nation’s No. 1 prospect has just about everyone in the country after him, including Ohio State, Michigan, USC and UCLA. And we still think there is a very good chance he signs somewhere else besides Alabama come February. But the Tide getting him on campus last week certainly helped their case.

Wade is from Alabama and that's big to him. He recently visited Ohio State, and he loved it, but it is still hard to stay confident that he signs there. His mom is also a big Crimson Tide fan, so that only helps Nick Saban's chances of flipping the four star out of Jacksonville (Fla.) Trinity Christian. It may not happen any time soon, but Alabama is definitely a threat to Ohio State, and when talking big names who could sign with a school in February they currently aren't committed to, Wade is one to watch.

Seems as if as quickly as we got back in the hunt for Marvin Wilson...........he dropped us again. New top 10 dropped tonight.

Well, it came from a kid who does all the edits, and Wilson himself retweeted it……so we will see.

Secretly, hope it's a swerve, and he commits to Alabama out of the blue as a surprise. A man can dream can't he?

Flipping on all star game commitments. Releasing a top ten and changing it a week later. Yeah, his recruitment will be a shite fest.

Interesting. I didn't know Bama was really in on him. I assume for an OLB spot? He'd be a WDE in OSU's 4-3.

I figured it was a Maryland/OSU battle more than a Bama/OSU battle

Alabama recruits that area heavily. And probably moreso now with Mike Locksley on staff.

It's an area with a good number of good recruits. I just hadn't heard Bama's name come up much in relation to Young specifically.

Locksley was a good get. Similar to how Larry Johnson is the man in the DMV for OSU
