So, if Langham does sign, how does that affect the board on the defensive line?

Alabama has a commitment from 4-star prospect Stephon Wynn, who will likely end up a defensive tackle when he enrolls. The Tide are also targeting the following players:

5-star Ohio State defensive end commit Brenton Cox4-star defensive end Tyreke Smith3-star defensive end Andres Fox4-star Texas A&M defensive tackle commit Bobby Brown4-star defensive tackle Christian Barmore4-star defensive tackle Tyler Friday

The Tide will likely sign 1-2 more out of this group. My projection right now is Barmore joining Langham and Wynn. I still need to hear more about Cox before projecting him to flip to Alabama.

What I’ve heard on 5-star Ohio State DE commit Brenton Cox 

Brenton Cox, a 5-star Ohio State defensive end commit from Stockbridge (Ga.) High School, took an official visit to Tuscaloosa this past weekend. It was Cox’s second trip to Tuscaloosa this fall. He visited for the Arkansas game.

Alabama was trying to get him to take an official visit during the Mercer game, but those plans fell through. He ultimately visited Georgia that weekend. But, the Tide accomplished their goal and got Cox back on campus. He brought along his mother and one of his coaches, who is an Alabama supporter.

The Tide did everything they could to impress Cox — from Saban spending loads of time with him to linebacker Mack Wilson, who is one of the team’s best recruiters, telling him what life at Alabama is like. The message that Cox could make an immediate impact there and develop into a man off the field was well received by the nation’s No. 2 defensive end.

Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt was at Stockbridge on Monday while the Ohio State staff is expected to meet with Cox in the coming days. He is supposed to make his first trip to Columbus this weekend but a source told SEC Country that that trip may not happen. If it didn’t happen, look for either Alabama or Georgia to get his commitment.

Cox will visit UGA next weekend. He told DawgNation’s Jeff Sentell last week that he’s giving serious consideration to the Bulldogs.

Judging by the current buzz, Alabama is poised to close strong in its 2018 recruiting class.

We're going to clean up on the DL. Could be a historic DL class. At worst, it should be really really good.

I was worried about a DT position but I feel better now. I have been out of the loop since the Auburn game so how is our mock secondary looking?

Looking good for Savion Smith, Nadab Joseph, and Josh Jobe.

Have heard nothing new with Tyson Campbell one way or another in weeks concerning any team.

Wish we'd make a move for Isaac Taylor-Stuart. Sounds like he might be slightly below some of the others on our priority list, though.

Feeling good about Wynn (committed), Anoma (FREAK), Cox, Barmore, Jordan Davis (beast that's committed), and Malik Langham. Also, maybe Bobby Brown.

We won't sign that many, but we're in good shape for those right now.

I REALLY hope we're recruiting him as a DL and have him put on some weight with Cochran. We need DL way more than Jack LB's, or any LB in general.

Just don't respond. At this point people are trolling you because people know you get upset by it.
