Don't tell LSU fans, they're starting to think they're in on every south AL recruit just because they got Craig

Hope the groundwork Bama has put in for Devonta Smith pays off, analyst have raved about him on the camp circuits. Destroying folks at the Bootlegger's 7-on-7 team tryouts. Speed. Speed. Speed.

Fromm and Leatherwood got their much due bumps, Ray and Ruggs instate getting huge ones are mildly surprising at this point. Though 247 falls hard for some prospects early and often.

Ray's frame at 280 makes him look like and NFL DE. Long arms and carries that weight well...

Collins and Robinson's drops are both mystifying. But how can Sterling have such a monster Junior year (24 sacks and a ton of TFL) in big boy GA football and be so low rated. For however he projects to the SEC with questions about his height, #609 is absurd for his productivity and explosiveness. Even guys that are productive, but a little undersized usually get ranked in mid 4* range is they are that dominant.

I agree. With the lack of WR in this years class he should be top of Bama's list.

Didn't know Ruggs was as good as he is. His film is impressive. Take Ruggs, Jeudy, and Collins and keep it moving.

Lebryan Ray being ranked 44 is still underrated imo. That kid is going to be a star. He fits our system soo well. Hope we can pull him.

Looks like Saban isn't just looking at size at every position anymore. Isnt the reason we didn't want Carl Lawson initially was because of his size? Now we are taking Sterling lol.

Don't know how Benton was ranked that high in the first place based off of film. He must tear it up in camp.

I don't get the Xavier McKinney drop either. All throughout the season last year he was getting rave reviews and now he gets dropped over 100 spots?
