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

I don't have any inside source but Martin's recruitment probably isn't over. I imagine the Barners were telling him that we are 5 deep while they will be losing 2 with no depth returning. Even though Bo and Damien are juniors and likely gone after this fall like their 2. Maybe it is the threat of competition. Maybe the Decatur REC was late getting the Charger?

Or, maybe we flip Zamir White

White is at the top of our board, problem is at UGA Chubb and Michell are Seniors. He can walk in and likely start there. At Bama he will have to fight to make the rotation. I think our record proves we know how to use multiple elite backs and get them all to the NFL (Coffee, Ingram, Richardson, Yeldon, Drake, Henry, etc) and maybe we can pitch him on that. Nobody gets more RB's into the NFL in the first 3 rounds than Bama. That said, it's gonna take a hell of a recruiting job to sell an elite back to come to Bama in this class.

Hank South this morning said Vernon at RB/H is a possibility.

3 star athlete now, when he commits to Bama 4 star.

College football’s early signing period was already a formality, but now it’s official. After an NCAA panel signed off on the idea last month, the Collegiate Commissioners Association — a committee of league commissioners — gave the new signing period final approval on Monday, it announced. The early signing period goes into effect this year, making Class of 2018 recruits the first to have the choice of using it.

Xavier Williams has two TDs tonight. Trailing James Cooks team 28-14 in 2nd half FYI

First TD

My biggest thing with Martin was they compared him to Drake, calling him a role player for this offense.

And maybe that's what is missing with all the similiar(sans Jacobs) types on the roster now, but they still considered him a complimentary talent to another back.

I don't like when someone is projected that specific early on, because players often fall short of evaluations...

Even though there were a few others perform better at our camp (namely Jerome Ford), Master Teague might also be a possibility. He's committed to Ohio State, who signed several RBs last year and has a couple committed this year as well. We just need to find one good one for numbers purposes to hold us until the 2019 class with Sanders and Crouch out there. I'm not too worried about it. We'll sign a good one. More concerned about landing our top targets at DL and DB. It has been and will be the same old story from the beginning of this class until Signing Day. DL and DB. DL and DB. DL and DB.

I only saw him play QB. Was hard for me to project him at LB'er. Or would he play another position?
