So Jaycee Horn may delay his decision again?

He hasn't said for sure yet.

If he has the green light from us then he'll probably commit on Friday.

If not he'll probably push it back to visit Tennessee.

Cue the conspiracies. Nevermind his father was a NFL player.

After a momentous June and first day of July that saw Alabama's 2018 class grow from two to six commitments, the Crimson Tide could be in store for an ever more significant end to the current month.

With a pair of camps and the Champions Cookout on the schedule, several major targets are set to visit Tuscaloosa. 

Here's a look at five recruits Alabama could swing momentum in its favor with in the next three weeks heading into fall camp.

Matt Corral, 5-star QB, Long Beach (Calif.) Poly

Corral plans to visit his top three schools this month -- Alabama, Florida, and Georgia -- before making a decision prior to his senior season. Currently, the Bulldogs hold the edge because the former USC commit has already visited Athens. The five-star signal caller and Bama offensive coordinator Brian Daboll have already developed a strong bond. Corral told BamaOnLine at The Opening that the Tide wouldn't be in the mix if Daboll weren't on the staff. The Champions Cookout, along with potentially where Justin Fields ends up, will determine Alabama's chances for Corral.

Micah Parsons, 5-star DE, Harrisburg (Pa.)

Parsons plans to camp at Alabama July 16-18, which will mark his first time in Tuscaloosa. Parsons is recruited as both running back and defensive end, and will likely workout as both during his visit. A strong showing on the Tide's part could put Alabama in the top group for the nation's No. 4 overall player. Right now, Ohio State is trending on the Crystal Ball for the former Penn State commit.

Dominick Wood-Anderson, 3-star JUCO TE, Arizona Western College (Ariz.)

The nation's No. 1 junior college tight end has already visited Tuscaloosa once this year back in April, after which he named Alabama his leader. A visit to Oregon a few weeks later gave the Ducks the edge, and then an official trip to Austin gave Texas some momentum. One thing is for sure: visits matter for Wood-Anderson. With an official visit to Tuscaloosa set for July 21, and a decision date set for Aug. 1, if the Tide gets the 6-foot-5, 245-pounder on campus last, it might be all that's needed to secure a commitment.

Tyson Campbell, 4-star CB, Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) American Heritage

Campbell told BamaOnLine at The Opening that he plans to visit Alabama both in July, and again in the fall on an official visit. Getting the nation's No. 3 cornerback on campus twice could entirely change the trajectory of his recruitment, which currently looks to favor Miami and Ohio State on the Crystal Ball. The last prediction went to the Crimson Tide.

Josh Jobe, 4-star CB, Miami (Fla.) Columbus -- Miami commit

Jobe revealed at The Opening that his recruitment in fact is not shut down as he had stated back in April. The Canes commit said he plans to visit both Alabama and Michigan after his time in Oregon. The elite cornerback has already been in front of the Bama staff twice this year -- once on a multi-day visit in April, again at the Florida International satellite camp in June.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – The Battle at the Beach 7-on-7 is always one of the best passing tournaments of the summer, and this year did not disappoint since many top high school teams competed in the event. Here are some takeaways from the tournament.

DANIELS SERIOUS ABOUT USC

I had a good discussion with Steve Daniels, the father of 2019 five-star quarterback JT Daniels, and it’s clear to me that after a recent visit USC is being seriously considered in his son’s recruitment.

The first thing to know is that Daniels is only focused on pro-style offenses because it’s what he’s most comfortable running. And because he’s such a talented prospect – he’s ahead of UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen at the same stage – there have to be NFL considerations involved as well.

Even if Sam Darnold comes back after this season, who knows how this year will turn out, it shouldn’t affect the Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei superstar because he’s just entering his junior season.

A pro-style system is important, and Daniels is also focused on a program where he can throw to talented receivers, be protected by an outstanding offensive line and play for national titles. USC and Stanford are definitely up there, Washington continues to intrigue him and an upcoming visit to Michigan could be big. Notre Dame has also been high on Daniels’ watch list.




I don't know why Rivals refuses to mention Alabama with Daniels, but if we are in it for him.

CORRAL TO DECIDE SOON

Long Beach (Calif.) Poly was not in the tournament, but five-star quarterback Matt Corral was still a point of discussion with a few sources on the sidelines as everyone braved the 90-plus degree heat.

According to some sources, Corral is looking to commit a few weeks before his senior season starts. That bodes well for Georgia, with Florida and Alabama also being seriously considered. A late trip to Florida State is possible but unlikely to really change the scope of Corral’s recruitment.

The really interesting part here is that fellow five-star quarterback Justin Fields is also looking at those SEC schools, and there could be a little this-for-that going on, meaning if Corral commits to Georgia soon, that could bode well for the Gators with Fields and vice versa.

However it works out, it looks like Corral is closer than Fields to making a decision. Either way, SEC East teams could load up at quarterback.

THIBODEAUX LOOKING AT SEC

The sense I’m getting from 2019 five-star defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux is that he’s seriously considering USC – he took a few trips over there this camp season – and if not the Trojans he’ll end up in the SEC.

However, and this is important, the recent transfer from Los Angeles Dorsey to Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian is taking the recruiting process slowly and won’t plan any more visits until after his junior season.

Thibodeaux loved a recent trip to LSU and he wants to get back down south to see Alabama, possibly Georgia, Texas A&M and then head to Oregon and Washington as well.

For those who have never seen Thibodeaux in person, he looks like a prototypical SEC hybrid defensive end/outside linebacker who can play in space but is probably best setting the edge and making plays closer to the line of scrimmage. He’s a special recruit and a lot of powerhouse programs are trying to land him.

ADDISON SETTING OFFICIAL TRIPS

Over the last few months, four-star Bryan Addison (who could continue to climb up the rankings charts after another strong performance) has altered his official visit schedule. It now looks like two – for sure – will get trips.

The rangy four-star athlete from Gardena (Calif.) Serra said he will definitely take trips to Nebraska and Washington in his senior season, although I still get the sense that UCLA is going to be really tough to beat in his recruitment.

It seems like UCLA, Washington and USC are the three main standouts and then Addison is going to take a bunch of trips to see which other programs will be in that main group. Alabama and North Carolina are showing new interest.

You're right about Riley at Nebraska. Every national prospect I read about seems to have interest in visiting Lincoln.

It's amazing actually.

He's older than Saban with zero title history and he's got kids from California considering Lincoln, Nebraska.

Have you ever been to Nebraska? It's the most boring state I've ever been to. We drove across it on our way to Idaho four years ago and I was ready to poke my eyes out after 11 straight hours of nothing.

Not my type of terrain. Got drunk in a bar full of cornhuskers and every time the whole bar would yell go big red I'd yell roll tide. Good people a lot of them like bama.
