I was wondering how long it would take for them to post it over on TD.

I'm not saying we passed on Isaiah Wilson for Wills, but if his commitment took us out of the Wilson race and he de-commits I'm going to be super fricking pissed.

It's even crazier that so many high-round draft eligible juniors return to play their senior years (e.g. Ryan Anderson, OJ Howard, Jonathan Allen, Reuben Foster, Tim Williams, Eddie Jackson), forgoing the potential of earning millions of dollars for the opportunity to play one more year for free


So all we have to do to get these kids to turn down the potential of earning millions of dollars is give them a used car?

Nothing makes a man turn down millions of dollars like a 2006 Dodge Magnum.

Lot of recruits getting cold feet moving away from home as NSD approaches.

At this point, no one knows. You might be right but anything can happen.

WATCH: Nick Saban arrives in helicopter to visit four-star recruit in Florida
quote:

Nick Saban is getting a lot of use out of his recruiting helicopter lately.

Last week, he took the chopper to visit Alabama 4-star quarterback commit Mac Jones at The Bolles School in Jacksonville, Fla. He was back in the Sunshine State on Friday, this time to visit 2018 4-star S Gurvan Hall in West Palm Beach.

Saban landed at Palm Beach Lakes High around 2:20 p.m. ET. He met the West Palm Beach football coach, as well as some of Hall’s family, according to the Sun Sentinel’s Wells Dusenbury.

The recruiting helicopter is becoming a more common tool in college football. It certainly makes an impression, and it makes it easier to quickly travel from one visit to the next.

Alabama currently has four commitments for the class of 2018. Saban actually took the helicopter to visit one of those commits, 4-star ATH Xavier Williams at Chaminade-Madonna Prep, earlier in the day.

Hall is No. 21 safety in the nation for 2018 and the No. 43 prospect in the state of Florida.

Would suck to not get Smith, but if Bama gets Ruggs along with current EE Jeudy, Shavers and Townsend, Bama will be fine at receiver.

I will take Ray, Ruggs, Parks and Mathis along with the current commitments and call it a day.

I talked to Jody Wright years ago on the Saturday before NSD the year that Cyrus K (eventually) signed. We had Nick Brassell on campus and were convinced he was coming. I asked if Cyrus was really seriously considering AU and he said "we think he is. You wouldn't believe the garbage that staff is trying to sell kids". Talked about how that staff was telling kids Bama was no fun/all business and they were fun and family.

I hated so many on that staff.

Just goes to show how crazy this final weekend always is.
