If anyone should know it's you Bo7. If we finished fourth for him we wasted a lot of precious resources on this guy. He just doesn't like us.
Remember his comment to the young fan " Tide will win regardless" ? Said with Heavy sarcasm I would guess.

On a side note, as of last night 38 of the 380 Blue Chippers (4 and 5 stars) had not committed. At least 2 are expected to commit today. 

However, at least 50 other committed blue chippers (haven't finished my count) did not sign on December 19th. My guess is we will see a lot of flipping, relatively speaking, from now until Feb 6th.


Quick update on this Data. With William Putnam and Eric Gray committing today that leaves 36 of the 380 current 247 composite blue chips prospects (about 9.5%) uncommitted. Also, after going back over the commit lists, around 30-35 blue chip prospects (a handful are expected to still sign by Dec 21.) are committed but have not signed yet. My guess is, if you take out the "secret signers" from the ESP there are around 15% (55 to 60) of the blue chip prospects that are on the market until Feb 6th. I'll recheck these numbers after Christmas.

I know folks tell different people different things but the guy on ESPN said Dean told him it was between Alabama and UGA and he also said Trey Sanders told him the night before it was Bama. Always a lot of contradictory info out there.

I talked with Rusty Mansell at the ESD event for 247 in Georgia. He said Mama Dean absolutely loved Bama and wanted him to go there. I had read from the insiders that she disliked Bama. Another "insider" false I guess.

Go watch his committment video and look at mom. She clearly was disturbed by the UGA pick at first lol.

Use this link. For once it appears ESPN may have the edge when it comes to recruiting.

Momma's always like closer than farther and the family had a good relationship with the Dean of UA's engineering school. I'm not questioning anyone's info, people change thier minds a lot, but it is hard to believe we weren't his second choice at the end, but who knows other than him.

ESPN has 30 of thier top 300 uncommitted so about the same as 247 percentage wise and 24 of 300 committed but unsigned. The numbers are pretty similiar. I looked at big names like Ealy, Pickens, and Dent to make sure nothing was crazy off.

FSU has to hold on to basically thier entire secondary class as 4 of the 5 didn't sign early. Dent has been looking around and Cross might get flipped by Locks, and our old friend Gant didn't sign. I'm interested to see how that plays out.

I think it's Toh-oh-toh-oh -- quickly, 1st & 3rd syllables lightly accentuated.

We're cornering the market on all the Moses. We need some Hispanic Jesus kicker and they'll think we're putting the biblical band back together

What happened to Darnell Wright? He seemed like a likely commit a few months ago, and now nothing.


Who cares? We got Evan Neal and Amari Kight.

Also you're being too obvious, too desperate a lunge at trying to find some reason to shite on Saban and this recruiting class.
