His mom didn't rule out a decision being made in San Antonio and then going to wherever from there. I think they're staying the night in SA.

I agree with Najee wants UA and family for whatever reason wants UM starting to what they are being offered.

I truly think if they let Najee decide he will be at UA but I think he will let them pressure him into going to UM

It won't hurt us next year at all and probably not the year after, but man it would be cool to see what one of these once in a blue moon running backs would do at Alabama.


You mean like Derrick Henry?

This article says he is flying home to Cali LINK

But from what I've read, it just says his mom wants him to go home, not that he will go home.

Also, he will have surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

Yeah! Another "Parent wants B10 team, player wants Bama" situation.

Lets hope it doesn't end like Baron Browning....

Or Trent Richardson for that matter. He was a top 10 recruit and a monster at Alabama

I mean like a guy that the recruiting services claim is a once in a generation or whatever type back. Leonard fournette and Najee Harris for example. Just would be interesting to see what they would do at Alabama.

Alabama, Michigan QB commits weigh in on Najee Harris' future
Nick Krueger | Recruiting Analyst

MORE: Complete U.S. Army All-American Bowl coverage | Video central | Daily Dozen

Najee Harris spent most of his week in San Antonio dodging reporters and media functions all the while becoming one of the most talked about stories at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Harris has been committed to Alabama since April of 2015, but conflicting reports as to whether he’s on his way to Tuscaloosa following Saturday’s game have cast doubt as to if he’s maintaining that commitment at all. (Harris will enroll early at the college of his choice.) At one point, the prevailing thought was that he would simply show up at whichever school he’d chosen and the world would all find out at once. That still may be the case, but first it seems as though he’s making one last trip back home to California for one more look at his options.

The expectation is that Michigan is the likely destination if Harris doesn’t keep his commitment to Alabama, .

Harris was one of just two Alabama commits at the Army game this week along with quarterback commit Tua Tagovailoa, who played on the East team.

Tagovailoa spoke about Harris’ situation in a somewhat subdued tone, but it sounds as though he at least has some idea about what’s to come with him. The two were initially supposed to be on the same flight to Birmingham following the game.


“I’ve been able to talk to him about things,” Tagovailoa said. “As far as me telling anybody else anything about him, he just wants to keep it down. He’s just getting so many phone calls and you know Najee, he doesn’t like the attention, so I just have to respect his wishes.”

Michigan quarterback commit Dylan McCaffrey didn’t arrive in San Antonio until after the first West team practice. Despite the possibility of adding Harris to his backfield, he said that he hasn’t been involved in working on nudging him to flip.

“He’s not announcing, I know he’s tired of everyone asking,” McCaffrey said. “He hasn’t really mentioned anything to me, but of course I’d love it if he was at Michigan. He’ll make any team better that he’s on.”

A recurring sentiment among the players during the week was the collective fatigue from answering questions about their potential commitments. Answering questions about others’ plans can be an even dicier proposition.

While Harris often refused interview requests and is clearly not interested in the attention associated with his recruitment, he wasn’t shy about peacocking around at practices throughout the week and during the game. His day at the Army Bowl was done by halftime, and he finished the game with eight carries for 22 yards.

Things I know right now: #Bama staff expects Najee at Bama to play as of today! 2 Recruits have confirmed he's Bama. Recruiting is fluid.


This guy has been right about a lot of stuff. Just discovered him and don't know anything about him but I see where he's been right about a lot and people come back asking him info all the time.

Yea, that guy is full of shite. Someone was tweeting about one of the closed scrimmages and capstone was copying them and passing it off as his info.

He is a big time homer and reminds me of Ryan Fowler, but x100.

Thanks for the heads up then. I'm sure that's why he was right on some stuff then, stealing others info. I actually do remember something about someone stealing info so I believe u

I think it was one of the spring scrimmages. I actually thought he was an insider, until I found the guy who was actually there. It has to be some kind of mental problem.
