For what it’s worth on Bogle, General consensus by people around him is he’s Miami bound. His high school has a heavy Alabama alumni group/fan base and they don’t think he’s a part of this class.

Darrian Dalcourt Darrian Dalcourt
Center of attention: Alabama signee Darrian Dalcourt made position switch in high school Alabama signee Darrian Dalcourt spent his senior season transitioning to his projected college position.
Dalcourt, a 6-foot-3, 290-pound lineman, spent three seasons playing right tackle, but moved to center for his senior season at St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, Maryland.
“Honestly, it was one of the most difficult things I had to go through in my football career -- going from tackle where you’re in open space to center, where everything is condensed,” he said at the Under Armour All-American Game in Orlando, Florida. “You’re the leader of the line. It was a hard position for me, but my teammates helped me get through it and I ended up really excelling at it.”What was the biggest adjustment for Dalcourt?
"The No. 1 difference is it's a lot harder to have power off the line," he said. "When you're playing tackle, you're usually not in a neutral stance, (and) your foot is back so you have something you push off of. When you're at center, both feet are forward and you first have to worry about snapping, which is a lot harder than people know.
"You have to snap and shoot your left hand first," he continued, "because your right hand is snapping, and then connect with the right hand while your feet are shifting. It's hard not to take a neutral step back instead of going forward."
Alabama signed 23 players during college football’s early signing period, including four other offensive linemen -- Hewitt-Trussville’s Pierce Quick, Thompson’s Amari Kight and IMG Academy (Fla.)'s Evan Neal and Glasgow (Ken.)'s Tanner Bowles. The Crimson Tide could also still land Darnell Wright, the nation’s No. 1-ranked offensive tackle from Huntington, West Virginia.
... *see article for much more narrative
Just before Early Signing Day, Alabama coach Nick Saban and co-offensive coordinator/receivers coach Josh Gattis visited Dalcourt at his high school and delivered a simple message.
“There’s no guarantees you’re going to play,” Dalcourt said. “The message to me was, you come down there and earn a spot.”

Hey man, when you post an entire article like that do us a favor and quote it. It makes it easier to decipher between story and your own thoughts (if you have any to add).
Thanks for contributing.

quote:
SAN ANTONIO — 247Sports was on-site providing a ton of coverage Wednesday from the 2019 All-American Bowl. With so much talent in the AlamoDome, some big plays were bound to occur and that's exactly what took place during day two of workouts. On Tuesday, we released the Top 10 plays from day one of practice.
Check out the featured video at the top for the complete list of Top 10 plays from day two.

10) North Carolina Tar Heels quarterback Sam Howell hits Michigan wide receiver Cornelius Johnson for the score.
9) Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler connects with Ohio State wide receiver Garrett Wilson for the long touchdown.
8) South Carolina cornerback Cameron Smith with the impressive interception. He has made a ton of plays during each practice.
7) Four-star cornerback Marcus Banks puts his ridiculous athleticism on display with this pass breakup.
6) Longhorns fans are hoping to see more interceptions like this one from Texas safety signee Tyler Owens.
5) Three-star cornerback McKel Broussard showed terrific coverage on this play, which led to one of his two interceptions today.
4) Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler hits Clemson wide receiver Joe Ngata on a deep ball in traffic.
3) Florida State is getting a great athlete in safety Nick Cross, who showed his range and leaping ability on this interception.
2) Nobody was going to keep Penn State linebacker Lance Dixon from this interception. That’s how you fight for a football.
1) A third trip to the Top 10 list for Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler, as he hit Texas Longhorns’ wide receiver signee Jordan Whittington. The Top100 recruit tips the ball, grabs it, and keeps his feet in bounds for the reception.
Again, the video is two posts up in the link.

I knew I was going to catch hell for that post but I was asking a question! Our top 3 pass rushing targets were thibs, Smith, and Bogle right? I'm not sure if I had missed anyone

SAN ANTONIO — 247Sports is on-site in the Lone Star State this week for the 2019 All-American Bowl. We are officially through two days of practices between the East and West teams and there has been an abundance of talent inside the Alamo Dome.
247Sports National Director of Scouting Barton Simmons was joined by National Recruiting Editor Brandon Huffman, who shared some takeaways from today's action. So, who were the top performers on Wednesday? We'll have a ton of coverage on that throughout the day, but here a few prospects that left a major impression.

Welp, we missed on Bogle! What a terrible recruiting class!!

Kevin Harris and King Mwikuta were takes a long, long time ago. Antonio Alfano is probably the best player in the entire country.
Next year we have 5-star Chris Braswell already in the fold and 5-star Reggie Grimes will sign with Alabama.
We're going to be just fine.

You missed Lawrence Taylor.... I think he ended committing to Tarheels.
All joking aside.... yes we may end up missing in th Top 3 if we don’t get Bogle. Let’s look in the bright side though .... we got Anoma from last year. We will have 2 top DE back from injury— possibly for the champio game. And we are looking great for 2 of the top edge LB for next years class... With 1 being committed

I wasn't worried. I knew we were good at that position... besides we are playing for the Natty Monday.

I think this is probably where we're headed.
