Homeless, Abused, Angry: Najee Harris' unsteady path to Alabama

Good article by 24/7 on Najee's path to Bama. Can't wait to see him on the field.

According to a poster on Bol, he has a source close to the program that says we are getting Mathis, Ray, Ruggs, Smith, and supposedly Solomon has told Saban he's coming but he's been all over the place. Obviously Fwiw.

One of the AL.com guys CB'd Solomon to Michigan this morning.

They usually don't know much though.

While one could never be upset with a fantastic finish like that I really wish we would add Parks as well. I think he has the potential to be an animal in 3 years with his athleticism.

But, those five will do just fine.

I agree on Parks and hope if Solomon goes to UM we get Parks.

Poster have any history of accuracy to speak of, or is he a tea leaf reading, sun-shine pumping, attention seeker?

I would also like to add another DB in this class especially with Diggs now on the offensive side and with 4 to 5 leaving/graduating after next season.

Another "insider" on BOL posted this about 30 minutes ago:

quote:

Solomon told Coach Nick Saban yesterday.

Told him what though because I believe it was reported that Solomon would tell coaches prior to NSD where he was going.

He said he got the information from a co-worker who apparently knows someone very high up in the organization. He says he wasn't even aware of this connection until a couple of weeks ago.

He did say this too:

quote:

He said the guy told him that he still acted like Parks was a possibility. He was told that we won't sign anymore DB's. I take that to mean they decided not to give the green light to Henderson.

I'm assuming he told Saban he was coming to Alabama.

People over on Rivals were saying this all day yesterday that apparently Soloman told both staffs he was coming . Bone got pissed and said he hasn't heard that at all and that they shouldn't believe everything they hear.

Tim Watts is going to release a Forecast on Phidarian Mathis in a bit.

He had him in Alabama's class in his Preliminary Forecast yesterday FWIW.
