Ruggs aint't going to FSU. He and his momma LOVE Bama.

One thing that I have to remind myself and we all need to remember is that this happens every year a few days before NSD. We ALWAYS hear that our targets are all going to go elsewhere around this time. If you're someone who gets emotionally invested in this stuff, it's better to just check out for a few days and come back and read where we got most of our top targets in a few days. I mean... this theoretically COULD be the oddball year where a lot of guys go elsewhere at the last minute, but the law of probability and history tells us that that's highly unlikely.

I agree.Lots of crazy rumors this time of the year.Most of them totally wishful thinking of desperate fans aided and abetted by click baiting websites.But there are some surprises among the overwhelmingly predictable results.

Me too. I'm more confident than most seem to be about Solomon. If Bama lands Smith, Ruggs, Ray & Solomon that may be all they have room for. If they miss on Solomon, I think they'll want Mathis or Parks. Idk which is higher on the board.

Losing Ruggs would piss me off. We can't get them all but to lose a guy like that out of south Alabama to Jimbo would be like ground glass on your toilet paper.

Regarding Wills:

Talked to a source near Kentucky that doesn't feel overly optimistic about anything happening even with him taking a visit the last weekend before NSD.

We offered a 2018 OT that plays for IMG Academy:

Daniel Faalele Highlights

So his profile doesn't have a picture of him and his highlight link doesn't actually have any film uploaded yet. I'm assuming they will be updated soon.
































Oh, yeah. Almost forgot. He's 6'9" and weighs 390 pounds.

could take up some low post minutes for the BB team. If only this big could hit a damn FT. I would want him to slim down a little.

Recruit IMG and you would not need to go to many other places. Maybe we should have a spring practice there.

Think about this for a second:

IMG Academy is going to start two offensive linemen next year where one is 6'9" 390 pounds in Faalele and the other (former Alabama OG commit Evan Neal) stands 6'7" and weighs 370 pounds.

So Faalele may not start for IMG after all.

He's from Australia and has never played in an organized football game.

We still offered though.
