Do you think Luke Ford signs with Georgia?

From @Seagrove_Beach




My opinion on this question has changed since the start of the week.

I’ve felt like Alabama was the team to beat for Ford ever since he visited Tuscaloosa for the first time this past summer. He instantly fell in love with the program and called the Tide his leader.

But, Ford isn’t the top target at tight end anymore now that Dominick Wood-Anderson has de-committed from Texas, which happened on Monday. Wood-Anderson was Alabama’s top tight end target over the summer. When he committed to Texas, Ford became the guy. Now, Georgia may be in the best position to land Ford. He’s made it clear that he’d like to play with 5-star quarterback Justin Fields in college. Fields chose the Bulldogs earlier this month.

So, I think Ford chooses Georgia at this point and Wood-Anderson chooses Alabama. Wood-Anderson actually told Saban and the Alabama staff the day he committed to Texas that he was going to verbally commit to the Tide later that day in a note on Twitter. A few hours after his conversation with Saban, he ended up stunning the recruiting world by picking Texas.

I think this time around he follows through with his plans.

Could a big win over LSU next weekend help Alabama with Patrick Surtain Jr.?

From @rickythegreat8


LSU has led for the nation’s No. 1 cornerback for over a year now, but Patrick Surtain Jr. still hasn’t committed to the Tigers for some reason. Him waiting only helps Alabama.

While he hasn’t said if he’s visiting Tuscaloosa next weekend, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him at the game because he’s strongly considering both Alabama and LSU. Surtain recently told me that he talks to defensive backs coach Derrick Ansley and Nick Saban every week.

A resounding victory over the Tigers will only help Alabama in its pursuit of Surtain

Many feel Campbell is trending UGA and Issac-Stuart likely stays closer to home at USC.

We losing only about 18 seniors and juniors. Unless we have massive attrition we may not be able to sign 25. I see the younger Warmack leaving as he is a junior and see no PT, unless he is hurt and I am not aware of. I think we have a WR named Kief who is also a junior and sees little PT

We aren't signing 25 regardless. 22 is the number. We have 3 back counters, Brannon, Bulovas, and Jarez Parks.

I keep forgetting about Jared Parks. He could end up being a monster on the edge

He’s about 6-3 270 right now. So he could help up front in 2018.

I've actually been wondering if maybe Warmack is red shirting this year.

Did anyone really ever think guys like Casher, Warmack, or kennedy was ever going to play. Remember them all doing work at camps but their body sizes just looked small compared to what we usually get on the oline.

We just offered Iowa d line commit Daviyon Nixon

Just saw a video of him dunking a basketball. He will have to hit the weight room before he gets close to seeing the field IMO.
