Considering his past, I would think he would choose a better word than hit.

This year's DT class isn't even close to being as good as last year's too.

There were 3-4 DTs in the Top 10 at one point last year and you have to go all the way down to #76 to find the 4th ranked DT in this class.

ETA: In the final Composite ranking there were 4 DTs in the Top 9.

Alabama is not recruiting De'Andre Johnson despite a tweet saying he'd be in Tuscaloosa this weekend, according to a source.

quote:

Johnson, who is currently at East Mississippi Community College, tweeted he'd be joining younger brother Tyreke Johnson and Shaun Wade -- two top underclassmen from his Jacksonville hometown -- this weekend in Tuscaloosa for a junior day visit. Johnson does plan to do that, according to a source, but purely to support his brother and isn't currently being recruited by the Crimson Tide.

The Crimson Tide extended an offer to 2018 four-star defensive end Xavier Thomas out of Florence (S.C.) Wilson on Wednesday afternoon, according to his Twitter account.

The Army All-American released a top five of Florida State, Clemson, South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia back in July before deciding to back off top schools in December when he announced he was open to any programs.

Thomas, a 6-foot-3, 242-pound prospect, is rated the No. 2 strong-side defensive end and the No. 4 overall player in the country, per 247Sports.

The 2017 Juco DT with the hyphenated name (escapes me right now) is a major target.

A LB that runs a sub 10.8 100 meters is no joke. And he plays equally fast in pads.

And most are like 3-stars or committed to other schools. Guess we'll have to go JUCO this year for DT's.

And when they hit the camp circuit, some will be bumped up to 4*, not that it changes the player.

Rinse and repeat...

La Bryan Ray may be a DT if he keeps growing, is a beast with an unlimited ceiling, and will sign with us. At the very smallest, he'll be a big DE that's perfect in our scheme.

I think Ray is a guy who could be 290-300 and play strongside on an even front.

I'll be shocked if he's not rated within the top 20 come next year...

North AL is loaded this year. I live close to several of those guys and look forward to seeing several of them this year. Namely Ray, Troxell, Rice, Townsend, and Randolph. I'm sure there are others around that I'm forgetting.

247Sports' No. 13-ranked national prospect Devonta Smith, who is also the No. 1 recruit in Louisiana, could be making a decision sooner rather than later, and according to multiple sources close to the situation, Alabama is the team to beat. Two sources close to Smith indicate that the Tide holds a commanding lead with a decision approaching.

I've heard nothing that any of the rest of you haven't as far as potential Juniorday ccommitments. Only names mentioned have been the two in-state DL guys.
