Henderson has all-world potential though.

Gotta lean toward size/speed for CB, Henderson is 6-1 and runs a sub 4.4.

Jhavonte Dean is still on the hard commit list. Been hearing for weeks, if not months, he is def not a part of this class. Seems like they would have made it official by now?

It's not uncommon for it to happen late, like Justin Taylor or Daryl Collins flipping to Kentucky on or around NSD.

Was said for a while they wouldn't stay in the class, it just looks better for the other team...

It probably depends on who else commits. He appears to be lining up his alternate school(s).

Henderson pure CB, Harris more safety type.

I believe he was mentioned before because he was the AL kicker for the AL-MS game, but I hope Bama can at the very least convince Jake Lane to walk on.

Bama is his dream school and finished 2nd to Ruiz for the Chris Sailer Award. His touchbacks aren't great(though I don't know the context of returns), roughly 1 in every 3. But comes off as a very Jeremy Shelley-esque kicker.

Too me it's obvious his mom has made her decision but hmeither he hasn't or he's trolling amd wants more free perks.

Let's hope she picks Bama for Aubrey.

FWIW it appears her favorite coach is Harbaugh. At least that's what I can gather from perusing Georgia and Michigan sites.

So this Lane kid beat out the Carlson kid for the best kicker in the state? Thought Carlson was the best.

Defensive tackle Aubrey Solomon (Leesburg, Ga./Lee County) said Alabama still leads.

"They still lead big, but not by a huge margin," Solomon said. "I like the physicality they bring and their defense."



VIP Article

He also says he had fun at USC and that he thinks he may visit Oregon and Georgia but in his mind he is done with visits.

This kid has been watching too many Trump interviews.

Ryan Johnson says he is "unsure" if he will visit Alabama this weekend for an OV.

BOL says the staff has zeroed in on LaBryan Ray, Aubrey Solomon and Phidarian Mathis to fill the remaining defensive lineman spots in the class.

Throw Jarez Parks in there as a Jack too.

I know Chris Henderson said it in his post visit interview, but the staff wants to add another DB due to Marlon jumping to the NFL.

It looks like Henderson, Todd Harris and Tariq Castro-Fields are the only three possibilities.

TCF got a ton of CBs to Penn State yesterday FWIW.

In the last week Baylor and Oklahoma State have offered Mac Jones. BOL still thinks he's set on Alabama though.
