Not a surprise but doesn't sound like AU thinks they have a real shot with Justyn Ross coming off OV. Sounds like all Bama 
None of the sources KN spoke to think Quay Walker ends up with Bama but KN said he never counts out the Tide for players they really want. Everyone he spoke too for the most part think Tennessee lead but it could change after UGA OV
Something interesting to watch tho is Malik Langham is thinking about taking OV to AU instead of Tennessee this weekend. I think we are only team that has a shot at stealing him from you guys but I still think it's highly unlikely due to how late we entered the race. But interested to see if he takes that trip or not
Right now I think Ross clearly signs with Bama, Walker to UGA (not betting against Kirby this class) & Langham to Bama

The Great White Buffalo, aka Dan Enos, has been spotted. Here he is with Brock Purdy and family from this weekend:

I couldn't be more excited that we got Enos. He was the one good coach on Arkansas'staff since Sam Pittman left for UGA.

Am I high or did the coaching changes thread disappear?

We just got a CB for Justyn Ross from one of the Clemson mods.

Lol. Coach got some moves even more so than some of those ladies on the floor with him.

My boy Joseph Scates committed to Iowa State. Best of luck to him over there.

The main Vandy mod CB'd Vernon Jackson to Texas A&M.

Welcome to SEC Country’s daily Roll Tide-ings, a rundown of everything happening in Alabama Crimson Tide recruiting with Chris Kirschner. Today, we talk the latest with all of Alabama’s remaining targets.

Resetting Alabama’s remaining targets after critical official visits
Alabama has hosted the majority of its remaining top targets after back-to-back big visit weekends in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide are currently only expecting one official visitor this coming weekend.
Here are the prospects left on the board with 10 days to go until National Signing Day on Feb. 7:
*numbers in parentheses signify how many targets are left for the Tide

QB (3)
Brevin White, 4-star prospect, Paraclete (Mission Hills, Calif.)
Brevin White was offered by Alabama just a few days ago. White took an official visit to Tuscaloosa this past weekend. The Princeton commit (yes, you read that correctly) is still deciding on whether he wants to follow through with attending one of the most prestigious universities in the world or if he’d like to play for one of the most prestigious football teams in the world.
Brock Purdy, 3-star prospect, Perry (Gilbert, Ariz.)
Brock Purdy was originally offered by Alabama as a preferred walk-on. He ended up receiving a full scholarship offer earlier this month. Some recruits would be a bit peeved at a school for not fully committing to him from the start, but Purdy doesn’t care. He told SEC Country on Sunday that Alabama, Iowa State and UCF are his top 3 schools. He also said that the Tide staff was going to meet this week to decide which quarterback it wants this year, so that’s interesting to note. He’s expected to wait until Signing Day to make his decision.
James Foster, 4-star prospect, Sidney Lanier (Montgomery, Ala.)
James Foster’s favorite school growing up was Alabama. He’s dreamed of playing for the Crimson Tide. Foster is still being evaluated, though. White and Purdy are the top options. Foster is down to Alabama, Florida State, LSU and Texas A&M.
If Brevin White enrolls this week then I guess we have our answer. If he doesn't then I predict we land Brock Purdy.

WR (3)
Justyn Ross, 4-star prospect, Central (Phenix City, Ala.)
Justyn Ross took his final official visit this past weekend to Auburn. From talking with people after that trip, it seems like Auburn doesn’t feel very confident with where it stands. His decision is still likely going to come down to Alabama and Clemson. Right now, I think the Tide win out.
Jaylen Waddle, 4-star prospect, Bellaire (Houston)
Jaylen Waddle is Alabama’s top slot wide receiver target and has been since the summer where he balled out at the team’s summer camp. His decision is likely going to come down to the Tide and Texas A&M. For months, Alabama was the favorite behind the scenes. That changed once Jimbo Fisher was hired by Texas A&M. There has been growing confidence lately, though, in the Tide bringing Waddle on board.
Jacob Copeland, 4-star prospect, Escambia (Pensacola, Fla.)
Jacob Copeland took an official visit to Tuscaloosa this past weekend. His decision will likely come down to Alabama, Florida and Tennessee. All three schools have had confidence in where they stand with Copeland, which is probably due to the fact that he likes the attention the recruiting process brings. This recruitment could go any way and I wouldn’t be surprised with any outcome.

Nicholas Petit-Frere, 5-star prospect, Berkeley Prep (Tampa, Fla.)
Nicholas Petit-Frere is Alabama’s top offensive tackle target and has been since the summer. Petit-Frere took an official visit to Florida this past weekend. There’s a lot of confidence in Gainesville with where the Gators stand with Petit-Frere. Florida is pushing how it’s the better academic school with better resources to the recruit and his mother. Academics are very important to Petit-Frere and his mother. A visit to Ohio State is coming this weekend. It should be noted that Alabama had lots of confidence with Petit-Frere after his visit to Tuscaloosa last weekend.
Penei Sewell, 4-star prospect, Desert Hills (Saint George, Utah)
Penei Sewell will likely commit to Alabama or Oregon when he makes his decision. His recruitment is too close to call at this point.

DL (1)
Malik Langham, 4-star prospect, Lee (Huntsville, Ala.)
Malik Langham told SEC Country on Sunday, shortly after his official visit to Florida, that Alabama still leads for him. He has an official visit to Tennessee coming this weekend. Barring anything unforeseen, I expect Langham in the Tide’s class.
Alabama is also trying to hold on to 4-star prospect Bobby Brown. Brown is expected to visit Texas A&M, the school he was once committed to, this weekend. I don’t expect him to flip.

Jaylen Moody, 3-star prospect, Conway (Conway, S.C.)
Jaylen Moddy is expected to take an official visit to Tuscaloosa this coming weekend. Moody is just a backup option at this time because Alabama linebacker commits Vernon Jackson and Quay Walker continue to flirt with other schools. Jackson took an official visit to TCU this past weekend and will visit Texas A&M this coming weekend, while Walker was in Auburn this past weekend with a Georgia visit on deck. There’s a possibility that both Jackson and Walker both flip to other schools, though I think one (Walker) ends up flipping.

DB (6)
Tyson Campbell, 5-star cornerback, American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.)
Tyson Campbell took an official visit to Tennessee this past weekend. While the Volunteers are not a legitimate contender, it does show that Jeremy Pruitt and his staff are going to be a problem on the recruiting trail when they get things going in a few years. Campbell visited Alabama last weekend and the team felt confident in where it stood with him, and the Tide still remain optimistic, but Georgia is still the team to beat, in my opinion.
Patrick Surtain Jr., 5-star cornerback, American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.)
Patrick Surtain Jr. took an official visit to Clemson this past weekend. I do not think the Tigers are a legitimate threat for Surtain at this time. This is still an Alabama-LSU race that I believe the Crimson Tide end up winning.
Olaijah Griffin, 5-star cornerback, Mission Viejo (Mission Viejo, Calif.)
Olaijah Griffin took an official visit to Alabama this past weekend. The Crimson Tide likely trail Tennessee and Southern California at this point.
Isaac Taylor-Stuart, 4-star cornerback, Helix (San Diego, Calif.)
Isaac Taylor-Stuart visited Tuscaloosa this past weekend. It was his first trip back to Alabama since 2015 when he declared the Tide the top team in his recruitment. This recruitment is shaping up to be an Alabama-Southern California race.
Julius Irvin, 4-star safety, Servite (Anaheim, Calif.)
Julius Irvin is set to come off the board this Wednesday. He’ll either commit to Alabama, Southern Cal or Washington. Coach Nick Saban is set to fly out to California on Tuesday to meet with Irvin and his family. Will the last-minute visit from Saban be enough to bring one of the team’s top targets on board?
Eddie Smith, 3-star cornerback, Salmen (Slidell, La.)
Eddie Smith took an official visit to Alabama this past weekend. He’s down to the Tide, Mississippi State and Tennessee. I like where Alabama stands for Smith.
