With depth issues at DT for Bama, I can't believe Bama didn't go after Farrel.

The sky ISN'T falling...contrary to the popular belief on this board

Napier was a big loss, wish we could've found a way to promote him and keep him on staff

I'd love to give Lance Taylor a shot, he did after all play WR at the Capstone

I was attacked for this line of thought. Good luck.

Announcing at the grave of a former teammate who passed away and inviting everyone seems like an indication he will commit to LSU to me. Could be wrong, obviously, but that's how i'd read that. Good luck to him. Pretty cool to honor former teammate that way.

Bone is now saying that the staff's goal to finish the class is 2 WR's and 2 Defensive Lineman. He specifically said this means Ruggs, Smith, Ray, and 1 of Mathis/Soloman, but the staff would obviously make room for Mathis and Soloman if both committed to UA.

Apparently Jarez Parks is still in play, but probably only if we miss on both Soloman and Mathis (thought this was interesting).

Also, we are not planning on taking another DB in this class unless we miss on an already committed DB (not likely). This is also interesting regarding Todd Harris as well as the fact we were pursuing two CB's late in the process.

Edit: If we miss on one of Ruggs or Smith then the staff may take Todd Harris.

Hmm...I'm trying not to get my hopes up with these tweets by Mathis to Ray and Solomon.

Mathis to Solomon

Not sure how all This info of who is a take or not can be relayed when they all are announcing on NSD. Figure they know now whether they are in or out.

Good deal! Sure hope so. Didn't see any "gaining" prospects in that article. All were neutral or down. Lol

What about the other guys? They just released a "preliminary forecast."

Wow, so confidence level is down for everyone and apparently no one wants Parks. I was hoping Bama would have room for him, he has a lot of upside. However, it seems red flags are being raised against for everyone to stop recruiting him.

nice! I'd love to land Smith too, but not so much b/c i think we "need" him, but b/c i want to keep the melt going (it's similar to a few years ago when we'd get AU's most sought after recruit late in the process)

The offer to little brother, must have sealed the deal with Ruggs.

I hope little brother is good, because with the 2 blueshirts in this year's class, that will be 3 less spots for next year's class.

Neutral is good if Bama was already leading.
