re: Class of 2019 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: That's a Wrap Edition

Akeem dent is waiting for NSD, so he might be back on our radar?

Most of our huge targets are still trending to us so I'm not sure who we would target under the radar wise.

ESD is already a ratings windfall for the NCAA's biggest media partners, the only way I can see it moving is if we go 8 team playoff and a literal playoff game is happening this weekend.

Lol wtf is Kirby playing with this shite?

Just for your thoughts while thinking about what needs the recruiting class may still have...

ADDITIONAL Competition for incoming class - Injured in 2018 or redshirted
Red Shirted current season (2018 signees)
Jalyn Armour-Davis DB 6'0" 160 Knee injury 9/8
Cameron Latu DE 6'5" 235 Played 2 games
Jarez Parks DE 6'4" 260
Christian Barmore DT 6'6" 290
Emil Ekiyor OL 6'4" 339 Played 2 games
Tommy Brown OL 6'7" 315
Layne Hatcher QB 6'1" 204
Jerome Ford RB 5'11" 200 Played 4 games
Michael Parker TE 6'6" 236
Slade Bolden WR 5'11" 200 Played 1 game
Xavier Williams WR 6'0" 180 Played 2 game

So Class
Major Tennison TE 6'5" 245 Played 4 games (could still redshirt if the "rule" applies to upperclassmen)
Chris Allen LB 6'4" 232 ACL 8/18/18 (no playing time - redshirted because of torn ACL)
Daniel Wright DB 6'1" 185 shoulder inj 8/10/18 surgery 10/4/18; played 4 games (suspended VoTR) If stays with team reshirt available

Terrell Lewis DE 6'5" 256 Jr ACL 7/1/18 missed most if not all of season

PWO's of note 2018
Wes Baumhower LB 6'1" 220
Braxton Barker QB 6'1" 195
probably other Walk-ons who are tearing it up in practice, like there always is, but not sure which to list.
Joe Donald LB 6'3" 216 played at Mt Brook in Bham (gave up football after HS to pursue med school, currently Jr - not sure but believe this was 1st year with team? and probably because of LB depth)
Galen Richardson DL 6'3" 293 So who was showing out in the Spring, do not believe he saw the field this season

Nakobe Dean school rank. 1.Uga 2. Ole Miss 3. LSU 4. Bama

Saban wasn’t going to pay... I mean play ball.. ;) Good luck to the young man, he should be a good one if he keeps his mind right. Lots of talent and a frame to build on.

Just returned to the board before work this am. Everyone is whipped from yesterday's events... I wasn't on and as involved as most and I was, I know.
Maybe we can get some rest.. Can't imagine the stress on the coaches and the staff during this time. Planning for the game(s) playing nice with all these kids and their parents, fielding endless questions from the press and Everyone they come into contact with... they sure earn their money this time of year. Merry Christmas BamaNation

Why is that? I heard his name alot for months and isn't he still a 5 star?

I guess for me keep who is committed and not signed and add To'oto'o, Sospher, and Bogle. I only see adding Wright on O which I do not see him coming. But UT is going to have to fight off everyone now for him since he did not sign and programs still need a OL. Glass only if Robinson goes to Maryland.

On D I am fine with not signing another DB and if a 4th spot on D comes open would love to get Lee. JMO

Crisis averted, I see. Good. I didn't want to have to check that every minute or so today.

I was mentioning that to a friend yesterday. Imagine dealing with the knife fight that is National Signing Day while juggling the gameplan/practice for OU & Kyler Murray. I know we have a ton of resources but that takes up a lot of bandwidth. That's a lot of stress at one time so I have no problem with the salaries these guys are making. Watching Saban during his PC yesterday, you could tell he doesn't really like the new schedule. Yet he adapted to it and dominated it. Shows you how dynamic he is as a coach. His ability to change is unmatched.

It also reveals how simplistic and dense the 8 team playoff crowd are considering they want to throw an extra game on top of all of this. Several talking heads, who's management experience is probably limited to choosing their twitter profile pic, just dismissed the logistical issues as no big deal yesterday.
