He's from the school as Marcus Mariota and his coach said he's better than Mariota. He's supposedly scheduling a visit to Tuscaloosa.
Want as the qb for our class. Just watched his HL very accurate and has a good feel for the game.

Only a handful of the top prospects in the Mid-Atlantic have already committed but the large majority of the highest rated players remain on the market. Here are the players you’ll be hearing about most as we head into the heart of the offseason.

OT Isaiah Wilson
Scouting report: Wilson is a man among boys on the field. He is too big, strong, and fast for any of the defensive linemen he comes across. There are only a few offensive linemen that are at his level as a run blocker. He is improving as a pass blocker exponentially every time he shows up at a camp. Once he masters that, Wilson will be truly unstoppable.
Recruiting breakdown: Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, and LSU are what Wilson calls his final five. Michigan was in great shape early in the process, but it has since faded. Alabama and Ohio State are at the top of Wilson’s list and they will likely be battling each other all the way until Signing Day. Don’t be surprised if Wilson takes his recruitment into the upcoming season and commits after only a few official visits.
Prediction: Alabama

Safety Devon Hunter
Scouting report: Hunter started out as a pure safety prospect, but as he continues to grow, he is starting to look more like a linebacker. He is very fast, has a big frame, and a good nose for the ball. Hunter is a pretty physical player that has no problems playing near the line of scrimmage. It’s hard to project how he will develop physically, but Hunter is a very skilled and will make an impact.
Recruiting breakdown: Hunter continues to say there are double digit schools involved with his recruitment. That’s true, but Alabama, Georgia, Virginia Tech and Clemson seem to be the ones with the best shot. Hunter has visited Alabama and Virginia Tech more than the rest of the schools, but look for Georgia to make a push. There is still a long way to go before Hunter makes a commitment.
Prediction: Alabama

QB Davis Mills was initially on the list but his father told Steve Wiltfong they aren't gonna make it.

Wiltfong again:

I've been told Nasirldeen is perhaps the top LB in the country by a couple sources on the next level.
Davis Mills is on the top of some boards as well.

Oh boy:
ETA: This is from Steve Wiltfong.

Down the stretching leading up to National Signing Day I thought it would be Notre Dame for the nation's No. 1 ranked receiver according to 247Sports in Demetris Robertson.
The Irish had plenty of momentum down the stretch and it's certainly appealing to Robertson to play at a school like ND with the prestigious academics while also drawing comparisons from the staff as the next Will Fuller.
Stanford was the school that I believed could throw a curve ball in Notre Dame's plans.
Now I think it's the Cardinal that could be the potential curve ball for Alabama's plans.
I believe the momentum is back with the Crimson Tide for the U.S. Army All-American and one-time commit out of Savannah (Ga.) Christian Prep, the last big-time recruit to still have not signed a letter-of-intent with his class-of-2016 peers.
My Crystal Ball is foggy for Robertson basically because I think he's capable of picking any of his finalists, Alabama, Cal, Georgia, Georgia Tech and if he gets in, Stanford. But my gut right now is with the Crimson Tide.
One source close to the situation told 247Sports he doesn't think a final decision will be made until May or June.
ETA: This is from Steve Wiltfong.

May or June? Holy shite, I sure hope this isn't a trend

Who knows with this guy but one clue that we are still in serious contention is that Saban is continuing to give him a lot of attention.

I thought there was a deadline of when a recruit had to sign with a school.

There is a deadline for signing an LOI, but you can just show up at the school of your choice as long as they have room.

Alabama just offered DeSoto (Texas) WR Laviska Shenault on his visit, per 247Sports' Brian Perroni:

So there is a QB from Fayetteville, Arkansas, visiting today. He's a 3-star but his Junior stat line is ridiculous:
Pass Attempts: 378
Passes Completed: 269
Passing Yards: 3,594
Passing Touchdowns: 49
Rushing Touchdowns: 6
That's a 71% completion percentage.
Taylor Powell Highlights
I watched his film and I've got to say I think he's going to be a stud. His ranking is probably due to his height (6'1") but he has a cannon with great mechanics. I hope we offer him before any other big school does.

Rob Foster is number 1, Cam Sims is 17, and Barnett is 8

The dealine for signing a LOI is in April. But he can basically "show up" after that, if the school has room for a scholarship.

As I've been saying for months. Hopefully he can put on the needed muscle and it can work out. Would certainly make us a lot better against the Spread teams.
