I think Alabama has classes that start on Jan 11th and Michigans starts on Jan 4th. My source says he will leave the Army game for U of M and begin school. I am at about 75 percent that he's ours right now barring some bizarre happening I believe the kids coming. It's recruiting so anything can happen but if you go by his word to our staff member recruiting him he's Blue.



From the UM Scout forums. And yes, they are shitting on the south with the same ole shticks. Sister frickers, SEC cheaters etc...

It would rile me up, but considering their relevancy over the past century they can catch aids frostbite for all i care.

Michigan would put him in the first round just like Alabama would. It just depends on what matters to him. Credit to Harbaugh. He went above and beyond and it's not a done deal. He gave them a chance.




Henry didn't go 1st round so Idk where you get that from. Also Derrick green was the top back a couple years back and he's where now? I'm sorry but you can't convince me that Michigan or harbaugh are that impressive because they're not. Harbaugh has produced no top backs when at Stanford and the last Michigan back worth a frick was mike hart who was meh.

If Harris goes to Michigan, he will have a hell of a career. As good as what he could accomplish at Alabama? Probably not.

I can't stand Harbaugh, but I'm not an 18 year old kid. The guy is goofy but he can recruit and coach. That Super Bowl appearance and success in the pros sales well.

Same was said about Derrick green. So no. Not guaranteed.

I'm not arguing with you. He just sounds torn on his decision. I don't trust any insiders when it comes to him because no one has a read. But his quotes and the "no announcement, just enrolling" could clearly be seen as hopeful for Michigan.

Bama will not have a hard time getting running backs. Got several now that can play winning ball. Would not cry if he went to UM but would like him to stick.

Until he shows up on campus next week, I am going to assume he is gone.

Not giving up on najee, but our RB depth is set next 2 yrs. Won't be disappointed either way, want Aubrey bad though.

Who's the kid we want in our 2018 class RB wise?

Same insider also said his mother did not visit with Harris when he came to visit for the Iron Bowl after that quote on the USC board. So he already lost any credibility he tried to get.


I not saying Harris is 100% to us but this guy has no clue.

Our mods said that she was quoted as saying she wouldn't mind moving to Alabama when they visited.

We are after 5-star RBs Zamir White and Lorenzo Lingard as well.

I would ask about Najee on BOL, but any post that doesn't pump absolute sunshine brings out the fricking idiots in droves.

RBs in the draft is such a crap shoot...DH was the 2nd back because Elliott was very scarcely used at tOSU and he was a freak who tested off the charts...very rarely is a team who has a glaring RB need with an already great OL decide to take a skill position in the 1st round

The talent eval guys basically view the RB position as a 3rd - 5th rd if it's a need and after that there are plenty of UDFAs sitting at home to fill your roster.

So what you have to sell a kid in HS is either success at the college level and proper development (of which Bama has a fabulous track record), relationships (Bama has a slight advantage but Harbaugh is closing fast), and finally PT (big disadvantage for Bama)

For every Trent Richardson and Derrick Henry (top RBs in HS and a great college career to follow) there is a Dee Hart. There is a major reason why I have always been a big component of signing at least 2 RBs in every class (the reason was blatantly obvious this year with Josh Jacobs playing early and often)

So if the kid decides to jet at the last minute and go to Mich...more power to him, Robinson is a lot better back than a lot of people think
