Is smith a corner or safety for you guys? I think he's good at both but feel he's special at safety. He has elite ball skills really could be a earl thomas type. If he does move to safety it won't be a case of he's not athletic enough to stay at corner because he is. I still don't understand why we hadn't gotten in on that kid


Assuming we sign 6 DBs (Saivion, Jobe, Armour-Davis, Surtain, ITS and Smith) you'd have to believe one or two of them would transition to a Safety role at some point.

Jobe is a Safety to me. He's built like a brick shite house and likes to hit. As for the others, who knows?

Yep. Game has changed. I was blown away finding out our CBS this year were 175s.

Lol, i started lurking here when tidesports sold out, but never registered. I pretty much read this site like a bible everyday. Finally decided to talk.

I don't know what Instagram is so forgive my ignorance.

What's with "The University of Alabama" under his handle? Is that significant?

IMO Jobe and Eddie will both be safeties. Others stick at corner.

Isaac Taylor-Stuart put up a picture of himself wearing our beautiful white jersey holding the CFP trophy.

He had "The University of Alabama" under his handle of kingathlete.

Sorry fellas I didn't know how to post a screen shot. ITS posted another photo of him with the National Championship trophy with the caption "Glee Zee" and a lock emoji.

Just take ITS and smith and be done with it. If Surtain wants to come cool. If not cool.

I would approach recruiting the same way as you. Pretty sure we would suck at it, but we wouldn't get strung along

Occasionally I get some info on recruits. Not specific to any school. When I do, it’s solid

Can not remember what he was ranked when he came to UA but J Carpenter was probably the biggest surprise for me as a 1st rd pick under Saban. Not saying he did not deserve it but was a surprise

FWIW -- Posted by a UGA fan on another site:
quote:

From UGA mods. 

“All indications are that Walker still plans to spend the upcoming weekend in Athens for his official visit, but that’s the one piece of good news we’ve heard for Georgia in this race. Meanwhile, the Volunteers (Jeremy Pruitt and Kevin Sherrer in particular) have made a strong impression in this race. If he’s now torn between Tennessee and Georgia, Walker may well stick with what’s comfortable and familiar, which is Alabama. As of now, we’re not projecting Georgia to be the landing spot, but that could change based on this weekend’s trip. Last week’s projected coin-flip scenario for Georgia is downgraded.”

Also, I think it's noteworthy that Quay's mom did not go with him on his OV to UT.
