Nice pickup. Now we need to start locking down some stud DTs.

We are stacked at DT. Payne, Frazier, Hulk Jones, Raekwon Davis for the next several years. We need some pure DE's. We have Tomlinson and Quinnen Williams that are combos, but the only one we have after Allen and Hand is Terrell Hall. We are loaded at ILB. Evans, Davis, Johnson, and several guys who can play inside or outside. We need safeties. We need RB's, We need WR's.

I wish we'd just move Anfernee Jennings to DE since that's where he'll be in a few months anyway. It annoys me to no end that we start the guys that are about 265 or so at Jack LB and have them there for a year or two before all of them outgrow it.

Unless Coatney pulls the trigger soon for the 2016 class (Ole Miss thinks they will get him, but they think they will get everybody), I'll predict Ruggs and Troxell are the next two to commit (in that order). Ruggs after A-Day and Troxell a week or two later (whenever they give him the green light).

From a 247 analyst Sonny Shipp," 4 star OLB Bruce Jordan Swilling was working out with the RBs today but will now work out with LBs. He is leaning to RB in college.
After talking to some sources close to the scene, I get the vibe that Bama is the team to beat for him and his brother, 3 star CB Tre Swilling."

Alex Leatherwood is solid but will make his final decision at the end of the summer

Bama has a sizeable lead for Davontae Smith...says he may end up a 5 star.

Bama 2018 commit Dare Rosenthal says schools aren't recruiting him as a DL yet but that is what side of the ball he wants to play on in college.

I'm really impressed with Tre Swilling in DB drills right now. Big kid who moves well. I talked with him and his brother Bruce Jordan-Swilling and get the sense that they are both going to take their time with things. I think they wind up signing with the same school.

Devonta Smith is more impressive each time I see him. Great athlete who will play WR in college. Could be on the verge of a 5-star. He's looked sharp out here today. I believe Alabama has a sizable lead for the one-time Georgia commitment.

Bama 2018 commit Dare Rosenthal working out with the DL instead of OL today. Looks pretty fluid and you don't draw up a 5-tech any better on the hoof

Devonta Smith looks college ready right now with his footwork and how precise his route running is. Definitely looks the part of a 5 star
