I wish Bama could find a spot for Rice. Bama is very thin at ILB right now.


Perhaps Bateman leaving frees up a spot for him.

What classification are they? I didn't even know the had their own team. I thought those kids went to a different school in the area. I've been there with my son's baseball team playing in tournaments and they've got good youth/travel baseball facilities, but I've not seen the HS before.
yeah Maplesville is a small town and everyone from there goes to Maplesville High School. They're a class 1A school. They have always dominated 1A and have won the past 3 State titles and played in the last 4. They never have any players recruited by major schools but this year Dunlap and Nathaniel Watson are both being recruited by a lot of schools. Ole Miss, Miss St, and Auburn are a few teams who offered Watson. They take football as serious as anyone in the state. Also, they beat 5A schools all the time so they have some good players.

Edit: Do y'all remember the RBs named Tommie Agee and Harold Morrow who went to Auburn and then played in the NFL? They both graduated from Maplesville

Anyone think Wilson might move to OLB next year?
Hall and Jennings look they will grow out of OLB and move to DE. Miller looks to small to be a every down OLB, will probably be a pass rush specialist. You also have Brown, who hasn't played much and I'm not sure he is still a OLB.

You have the incoming guys, but when was the last time a true freshman LB played a lot? CJ in 2010?

Also is Shawn Jennings a LB or safety?

Mack Wilson and Ben Davis will be Ragland and Foster all over again at ILB.

OLB's next year will be Miller at Sam and Hall at Jack. If Hall grows into DE like Allen did then Moses/Allen will play jack.

They just got multiple CBs for the #1 WR in the country, Joseph Lewis, and for another high 4-star from Cali.



2 guys who appeared to be locks for USC. I'm pleased with the turnaround this year, but Heltons recruiting scares the heck out of me. He's as exciting as watching paint dry.

Majoirty of OSU insiders still think Smith ends up at Tennessee, as he has been there countless times and developed more relationships

From a guy on BOL:

quote:

FWIW: I know one of the counselors at USJ. They are responsible for fielding the coaches as they come through. I know all the chatter recently w/ every 5 star being CB'd to OSU, but she currently feels he commits to Bama. There is some pressure within the family to stay close to home. Not sure what happened w/ UT.... besides the obvious. Also, Ole Mi$$ is in town this morning along w/ Bama, OSU, Clemson and UT.

So... TIFWIW, that's just one data point. They are close to TS so who knows. Also, as a side note, apparently the HC at OSU has a potty mouth. The teachers and counselors were not impressed nor happy.

I will believe it when I see it, but that's all I have.....

I'm sure he uttered a cuss word or two after the 2009 SEC Championship Game. Something like "Oh shite!" grabs chest...

Urban is a snake oil salesman but he usually connects extremely well to people. I can't imagine he would tank a recruitment like that.

Only 1 OSU insider gave Smith a CB I think. Most think he ends up with his heart at Tennessee and not his head which is telling him OSU/Bama

Spent some time with Chandarius Townsend. A high school QB, he will move to slot at Alabama, thinks he can be a similar player ArDarius Stewart.

Alabama was first school to offer. He slept on it one night and committed. Auburn was the school he grew up rooting for too.
