Yea the smoke looks like maybe Aranda. Man that would be hilarious. I don’t seen them hiring Lupoi for the same reasons it looks like Saban brought in Golding.

Stanford QB just completely missed a receiver that didn't have a defender covering him. Didn't even look that guys way. Wow, it was like he was invisible.
Post Luck, they don't get enough shite about how pedestrian their QBs have been.

How did Jalen Hurts help Brian Daboll adjust from NFL to recruiting?
quote:
A product of upstate New York with limited experience in the south, there was certainly some culture shock when Brian Daboll left the New England Patriots to be Alabama's offensive coordinator.
With that also came considerable adjustments in the professional tool box. An assistant at the NFL level since serving as a GA for Nick Saban at Michigan State in 1999, that recruiting life was something new for Daboll.
He simply never had to do it before landing in Tuscaloosa in February.
That's where Jalen Hurts comes into play. The 19-year old starting quarterback gives his 42-year old quarterback coach help with that "from time to time," he said with a grin. What's that mean exactly?
"Just how to talk to a young guy," a smiling Hurts said. "Kinda relate to him and see how he's doing."
Daboll, in his first interview since August on Thursday, said the recruiting game starts with the basics. It's a "relationship business," he said so there's been a lot of time on the road planting roots.
"Look, there are a lot of rules in recruiting," Daboll said. "So that's the first thing I really had to hone in on. I have the compliance officer's number on speed dial."
There are vague similarities between recruiting and the NFL draft process.
Again, those rules.
"You can't have conversations with the guy," Daboll said referencing dead periods in the recruiting calendar. "You can only speak to the coaches. You can't work them out. You can't get them on the board so really, it was more -- in the areas they wanted me to go to -- diving in, building a relationship with the coaches, constant communication. You really have to stamp out. It's the lifeblood of any good organization in college football."
Daboll is credited as the lead recruiter for one December signee in four-star offensive tackle Tommy Brown and three-star committed tight end Michael Parker, according to the 247Sports database.
Alabama running back Damien Harris just laughed when asked if he offered the same recruiting tutorials as his quarterback.
"I definitely think it's an adjustment he has to make," Harris said. "But he and I have never had that conversation."
And what about Saban?
Has Hurts ever offered the big boss his help relating with the next generation?
"No," Hurts said. He's a pro."

I was reading through Al.com's "Where are they now" article about the 92 team and came across this:
quote:
Lemanski Hall, Alabama linebacker
Hall, a junior in 1992, played nine seasons in the NFL with four different teams. He is now a defensive analyst at Clemson, and will become a full-time assistant, coaching defensive ends, in January.

Dabo has surrounded himself with Bama dudes. I'd say it has paid off for him.

UA All-America Game: Five who could make the jump to five-star
quote:
The Under Armour All-America Game week gets going this weekend with several of the nation’s upper-tier prospects converging on Orlando for the annual event. All-star games always play a vital role in the final rankings updates, with practices and games being the perfect time for prospects to get over the hump to five-star status. Today, we take a look at five players who have a chance to earn a coveted fifth star and get National Recruiting Director Mike Farrell’s thoughts on what he’s looking to see from each prospect.

quote:
OLB Jordan Davis
The situation: Alabama was the first school to offer Davis and ended up landing his signature. But unlike some Tide commits over the years, he’s kept a relatively low profile in terms of notoriety on the national stage. Davis is ranked No. 37 overall and will have a chance to vault himself above Cox and others.
Farrell’s Take: “The defensive end position is coveted greatly, and Davis has the physical tools to be a great one. His level of competition hasn’t been that great and he hasn’t dominated as consistently as we’d like to see from a five-star, but this could be the week he shows us he can put it all together.”
He's already up to #37 in their rankings FWIW.

Nicholas Petit-Frere
The situation: Thought by some to be the nation’s top tackle, the athletic offensive lineman will have the chance to show that he has the football skills to go with his immense upside. The lowest-ranked prospect on this list, he would make quite a leap to five-star status, but bigger jumps have been made in the past.
Farrell’s Take: “The top tackle I’m interested in seeing. He has a great frame to build on and the length and feet to be special. Can he be aggressive and physical on a consistent level and show that he can keep his balance and not overstep against speed rushers? That will be part of the key when evaluating Petit-Frere.”
He should be a 5-star already.

I'm bored at work and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of recruiting stuff being posted this morning so I'm going to post the evaluations from 247 for our signees/commits/top targets.
The evaluations were originally a part of the Scout network, but when 247 bought them they decided to keep the feature. I think it's pretty cool.

JJ Peterson
When you watch Peterson, he is a blur at times between the lines. He is an outside linebacker you see make plays in space, get to the quarterback off the edge, and one that can drop into coverage and hold his own. He plays with aggression, effort and speed at all times. He has great size and he explodes through the ball carrier when he makes the tackle. He has all the traits you look for in an elite linebacker. He could play outside or inside on the next level.
ETA: Peterson is first because I was looking at his profile when I noticed the evaluation section for the 1st time.
Our signees will be next.

Eyabi Anoma
Anoma brings pure athleticism and speed to the edge, and as he develops his technique, he has a chance to be a dominant pass-rushing defensive end. He is explosive, has the flexibility to dip his shoulder and get around the edge, and he accelerates to the ball carrier. He has the speed to chase a play down from behind, and he changes direction well. He needs to develop technique so he can use more than speed, and strength will enable him to disengage more quickly. -- Brian Dohn

Stephon Wynn
Wynn is a versatile defensive lineman with the ability to play three or five technique. He is an athletic lineman who knocks offensive linemen backwards. He knows how to work up the field. He flashes the ability to fire off the ball low, winning the leverage battle, and shedding blocks. At end, he has the ability to set the edge and to get up the field. Depending on how he grows, he could end up as a quick interior defensive lineman in college. He has good length and he works his hands. He can work on his quickness off the ball and become more explosive. He has the ability to change direction quickly.
