How do we look with this Crouch kid? I know we already have 5 star Trey Sanders but im sure we will be all in on this kid. The lone CB pick is for Clemson but theres alot of time here

Why in the heck would you want him on the line. We need pass rushers like Tim Williams.

We only have 6 returning DL on scholarship if Payne declares for the draft. That is extremely alarming, considering the numbers we've pulled in at that position the last 2 years haven't been great and many of the blue chip prospects in the 2018 class are committed/trending elsewhere.

So you want to make a guy like Arden Key a lineman. We've been searching for a great Jack since Saban got here and you want to put 50 pounds on him lol. We are going to be thin on the line either way. I would also think we are probably moving someone like the Allen kid to d line. He looked decent but not great arse a pass rusher and has a alot of size already.

Jaylen Waddle has decided not to sign early. That can't be good news
Posted on 12/12/17 at 12:41 pm to Cobrasize
Penei Sewell is signing early, with someone.
Posted on 12/12/17 at 12:48 pm to Cobrasize
Penei to Oregon, Super Mario has that wrapped up.
Waddle to the Aggies, Jimbo will tip the scales there.
Copeland back to Florida
Ross to Clemson
Seth Williams is signing early with Auburn, won't get a chance to flip him when the other receivers go elsewhere.

Alabama Football: Closing 2018 defensive tackle recruits a Tide problem
Alabama football needs to add two or three interior defensive linemen in the 2018 recruiting class. To-date the Tide’s pursuit faces multiple challenges.
The first NCAA Early Signing Period starts December 20th. Alabama football can entertain prospects on campus, in-person until the recruiting process reaches a Quiet Day on December 17th.
After the 17th, the December Dead Period begins and there can be no in-person contact between schools and players. The Early Signing Period is a 72-hour window, December 20-22.
Many experts believe up to 75 percent of the eventual 2018 class will sign in December. That estimate goes up to 90 percent for those players intending to enroll early.
Alabama football currently has 14 verbal commits: 2018 Verbal Commits. None of the 14 are defensive tackles.
The Good News Alabama football has recruited well at defensive end. The Tide has three verbal commits from 4- Star defensive ends: Jordan Davis, Stephon Wynn and Cameron Latu. At 285 pounds, Wynn can play on the interior defensive line if needed. In addition, Alabama football is a current clear leader for 5-Star defensive end Eyabi Anoma. If Anoma joins the 2018 recruiting class, it will facilitate Wynn moving inside.
Check in with us for our next recruiting detail update with more information on Anoma and the defensive end class.
The Not as Good News
The Crimson Tide has numerous offers issued to potential 2018 defensive tackles. In order for the 2018 class to be a success, two defensive tackles must be added. Here are the top prospects.
Christian Barmore – 4-Sta;r No. 17 rated DT.
Tyler Friday – 4-Star; No. 3 rated DT
Caleb Tremblay – 4-Star; JUCO No. 4 rated DT
Billy Ferrell – 3-Star; No. 80 rated DT
The Tide leads for Barmore but there is doubt about his ability to qualify academically. He may be forced to go the JUCO or the Prep school route before getting to Tuscaloosa.
Tyler Friday would be a great pickup but most recruiting experts have Ohio State as his leader. UCLA is also in the mix. Friday is expected to visit Tuscaloosa this weekend.
Tremblay and the Tide appear to have reached a hiccup point. After camping in Tuscaloosa, Tremblay impressed the Tide coaches enough to become a priority. With the Tide focused more on Bobby Brown and Coynis Miller who gave verbals to Texas A&M and Auburn, the Tremblay connection may have suffered. Tremblay was expected to be in Tuscaloosa for the upcoming recruiting weekend, but instead is visiting Southern Cal.
Billy Ferrell has significant potential and the Tide wants to close with him. He was not well known until recently when Alabama extended an offer. Quickly Arkansas followed suit with an offer to the Fordyce, Arkansas player. Ferrell is not expected to visit Alabama until January.
Another possible option is 3-Star Jalen Cunningham who has long wanted to sign with the Tide. With few slots available Cunningham has not been given approval to commit, but that could soon change.
Our next detailed update (on Dec. 12th) will cover the defensive ends, followed by the other position groups as we work down to Dec. 20th. All position group detail posts will be updated with new information as it becomes available.

Are you available for kids parties?

So Friday is visiting. Didn't know that.
Posted on 12/12/17 at 1:20 pm to Tide or Die87
If we somehow got in on Friday that would be huge. Dude is a monster don't know why we slow played him.
Posted on 12/12/17 at 1:38 pm to Tide or Die87
Why because its not all sunshine?? Obviously there is alot of concern about our interior D-line and those projections for pretty much all of our receiver targets could happen
Posted on 12/12/17 at 1:48 pm to seanpendleton10
No because y'all bitch and moan on every comment like y'all on y'all cycle or something. Everyone is aware of the issues that we have. Hell one year we lost both of our CB commits flipped to AU and we ended up with Marlon, Minkah, and T. Brown. Not saying that will happened but Sabah will find someone.
