re: Class of 2018 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: So Long Old Friend Edition

I think if bama is getting Surtain we will see some crystal balls coming in within the next 24 hours. My thinking is he plays it cool with lsu then things start leaking after the visit if that's his intentions. I still think lsu gets him but I don't count chickens before they are hatched especially with bama in the hen house

Folks still think Miami has a shot at both Surtain and Campbell with both guys taking their final visits down there this weekend. I don't think you will see the CB's until after they leave. The thing is both guys are being REAL quiet right now. Doubt that changes before NSD.

I don't think Miami is in it with Surtain. It wouldn't shock me to see surtain pick lsu and his dad take a job at say St Aug in New Orleans. I've heard they have a desire to return back to the area. The St Aug part is pure speculation. It also wouldn't shock me to see him sign with the Tide. It would shock me to see him sign with Miami

That makes sense because the Quiet period starts Sunday some time

Agreed, but you can't strike out on any position group without it affecting at least quality depth down the line.

Wrong. We are loading up next year, especially at OL.

So far, we have 3 DB's signed and 2 DL. All 4-stars. Which is great but noticeably absent are the typical 5-star headliners Alabama usually signs.

You're being very disingenuous.

Savion Smith was a 5* in high school that is seasoned and is coming in to start. We're also in the mix for four more 5* and two 4*.

Also, we have signed a 5* DE in Eyabi Anoma, who is the best rush DE talent we have probably ever signed. We have also signed an amazing DT, and have two other amazing DL who will join on signing day.

It's amazing how pessimistic some of you "fans" are.

Rumor on UGA247 board that JJ Peterson might not end up a Vile.

Might be a heated battle brewing between CoLinn and EMCC for his signature.

YStar, I'm not sure if you saw it or not, but the Miami guy responded to everyone about Jobe in the Surtain thread. Wrote a freaking essay

The Richt guy on the recruiting board might be the worst fan of any team on this site. That's saying something

It has to be a troll. No one can be that wrong, that many times, and keep digging.

Saban disagrees with you. There's a reason we're fighting so hard to sign White or Purdy at QB this cycle even though the 2019 class is loaded. You always sign quality guys every single cycle in every single position group. To argue against that philosophy is simply asinine. And again, every college coach ever disagrees with you.

Savion was a 5-star out of high-school on Scout. He was a composite 4-star, which is exactly what he's ranked now. Pumped to have him, but a 5-star he is not.

I'm also stoked about Anoma, but that cat weighs around 230 lbs right now. He looked like a big WR running around in the All-Star game. 230 lbs isn't even big enough to play OLB in our scheme much less DE in a 3-4. He's going to have to gain a lot of good weight before he even gets on the field at OLB in regular. It will be years until he can get to DE size, if ever. Until then he'll be a rabbit rusher. Good chance he ends up being an OLB rather than a DE at the college level. Not downplaying his ability one bit as he has the ability to be a 1st rounder as an edge rusher, but I can't count him as part of our DL class when odds are he'll never be big enough to play on the line.
