quote:
Coynis Miller, 4-star DT, Jackson-Olin (Birmingham, Ala.) — committed to Auburn
Kirschner: Even if Malzahn leaves for another job, I think Coynis Miller is 100-percent locked in with the Tigers. Alabama is still trying to flip him away from Auburn, anyway.
Wolk: Miller joined Martin as back-to-back Auburn commitments who chose the Tigers over the Crimson Tide. Their decisions gave Auburn some recruiting life when there wasn’t much excitement around the program. But Miller saw the defensive line culture that was brewing at Auburn under Rodney Garner and wanted to be a part of it. As long as Garner’s a part of the coaching staff when Miller signs in February, Alabama — as hard as it tries — won’t be able to flip Miller from Auburn.

quote:
JJ Peterson, 4-star LB, Colquitt County (Moultrie, Ga.)
Kirschner: If JJ Peterson doesn’t commit to Alabama at some point, it would be a big shock. The Tide have been his leader for more than a year, and his head coach, Rush Propst, told SEC Country that teams have started to back off recruiting him because they think he’s a near lock to Alabama.
Wolk: This was one Auburn hung around for at the beginning, mainly because of Peterson’s strong relationship with linebackers coach Travis Williams. But Alabama wasn’t going to be beaten for this one. As Kirschner wrote last week, Auburn and other programs have begun to back off of Peterson with the understanding he’s Alabama bound.

Justyn Ross, 4-star WR, Central (Phenix City, Ala.)
Kirschner: There’s a good chance the state of Alabama’s No. 1 prospect in the 2018 class doesn’t choose Alabama or Auburn; right now, that’s what I think happens. Clemson is my pick, but both in-state teams are going to make it tough on the defending national champs.
Wolk: The No. 1 player in Alabama rarely leaves the state. In fact, it’s only happened twice since 2000 with Chad Jackson in 2003 and Jameis Winston in 2012. Ross looks like he’s on his way to being No. 3 on that list. He has visited Clemson regularly and always raves about those trips. Ross took his official visit there last weekend. Auburn, at least, will make a push for him down the stretch, but it’s likely Clemson all the way.

quote:
Saivion Smith, 4-star CB, Mississippi Gulf Coast CC (Perkinston, Miss.)
Kirschner: Saivion Smith has been a major target for Alabama since he was offered in August. With the Tide needing a cornerback who could step in immediately and start next season, I think the former LSU cornerback is Alabama’s to lose.
Wolk: Auburn has a gaping hole coming up at cornerback, and it’s something the Tigers want filled immediately in the Class of 2018. A junior college option makes the most sense to accomplish that. Smith is priority No. 1, but as Kirschner noted, he’s seemed an Alabama lock this entire fall. Auburn will host him for an official visit this weekend for the Iron Bowl and the pitch will be made clear. Still, I see the Crimson Tide pulling this one out.

quote:
Quay Walker, 4-star LB, Crisp County (Cordele, Ga.) — committed to Alabama
Kirschner: I’ve gone back and forth on what I think Quay Walker is going to do. For several months, I had Walker pegged to flip to Auburn. Now, I have him sticking with Alabama. This recruitment could definitely go either way. The Tigers were always going to make this interesting with his good friend Markaviest Bryant playing for Auburn.
Wolk: There was a point this fall when I would’ve said Auburn for Walker. He was visiting a lot and hinting at a potential flip and his relationship with Williams, Garner and Bryant helped justify it. But the Tigers are starting to weigh all of their linebacker options a little bit more, and that has to do with less confidence Walker will flip. It’s not over yet by any means, but for now, I still peg him to Tuscaloosa.

Slade ran for over 200 and a TD, threw for 144, 2 TDs, and a Pick. WM wins 31-17 and moves on to the semifinals. They will play Zachary at home, same team as last year in the semifinals. WM won by 2 TDs last year.

First off, great idea.
1. Matt Corral
2. Eyabi Anoma
3. Jaylen Waddle
4. Nicholas Petit-Frere
5. Christian Barmore
6. Isaac Taylor-Stuart
7. Josh Jobe

I’m with you on every pick ! ??the only thing is on Joseph and Jobe those are the two I wanted for both our safeties. Lol. But Corral has so much more upside than Jones , if he can stay out of trouble. And I love Stuart from Cali. Long way to go
Posted on 11/25/17 at 1:07 am to bloodtide 39
We probably won't land half of the guys I listed, but I picked talent over probability.
Posted on 11/25/17 at 1:17 am to TideSaint
1/2 is about right??
Posted on 11/25/17 at 1:21 am to bloodtide 39
No question marks . Lol

I think Isaac Taylor-Stuart is ripe for the picking with Sumlin on the way out of A&M. He favored them for some reason.
I think Eyabi Anoma is ours.
Christian Barmore is up in the air.
Our mods have a weird confidence in Josh Jobe.
Waddle is ours.
I have a feeling Emory Jones sticks with Ohio State. Florida is a clusterfrick right now so Corral is floating in the wind.
I think we get Sewell, but Petit-Frere is the best offensive lineman in this class.

Well after this shite show. This recruiting class will take the cake.

At least Saban will get a extra week to recruit, this class needs it.
Posted on 11/25/17 at 6:37 pm to Crimsonwave
We can offer immediate playing time at Dline and offensive line. Maybe even quarterback too.
Posted on 11/25/17 at 7:16 pm to bloodtide 39
We've recruiting nothing but top linemen. Bunch of 5 and 4 stars.
They look soft, weak and poorly coached out there.
I don't know how people can claim a talent issue
