4-star DT Ishmael Sopsher 6-3.5/334 LA hudl
Bama coaches Golding, Kugliowski and Saban visited the Sopshers in-home Wednesday night. LSU coaches Aranda and Johnson visited in-home Thursday night. Ish arrives today for his Bama OV this weekend and will then go to his Ole Miss OV. His LSU OV is next weekend. BOL confirmed that Ish's brother Rodney, Jr., who'll also visit Bama as Ish's guest, will not graduate Juco until Dec., which makes him a 2020-class prospect.

South: Who's trending less than two weeks from Signing Day?
quote:
We are now less than two weeks from Signing Day (February 6), so that leaves just two more weekends for prospects to take official visits.
Despite a large number os the top prospects signing in December, there are still some big names out there still trying to figure out who they will sign with the first Wednesday in February.
We take a look at where some of the best in the South (Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi) stand and who they visit this weekend.

Jerrion Ealy
Visiting: Ole Miss
Can Ole Miss get Ealy back? The Rivals100 running back was a Rebels commitment up until January 8. He was committed for over a year, so there is still a lot of interest in the in-state school. Alabama has now secured an official visit for next weekend, so it is down to the Crimson Tide, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Clemson. The FutureCast and FanFutureCast all read Clemson, so the Tigers appear to be the favorite. Matt Luke and his staff will work hard to change that this weekend. Regardless of who signs Ealy February 6 will then have to wait for the MLB Draft in June to see if they actually ever get him on campus.
Trending: Clemson

Nathan Pickering
Visiting: Mississippi State
Starkville has been Pickering’s home away from home the last few years. He has visited Mississippi State, the school he is committed to much more than any other school he has considered. LSU had him on campus last weekend and Alabama will get the last visit. The Crimson Tide have been looked at as the biggest threat to Mississippi State for a couple of months. Joe Moorhead and his staff still look to be in a very good position to sign Pickering, but this visit is still very important.
Trending: Mississippi State

Ishmael Sopsher
Visiting: Alabama
Texas A&M got Sopsher on campus quietly late in 2018, but do the real visits starts now? We can’t rule the Aggies out, but the buzz has been around Alabama and LSU since Sopsher’s recruitment started years ago. There has been a lot of chatter about the Crimson Tide holding a slight edge, but LSU is the home-state school, they are targeting his brother Rodney Sopsher as well and he is closest with Ed Orgeron. There has been a big shake up on the Tide’s staff, but defensive line coach Craig Kulikowski is still there and you can bet he will spend a lot of time with Sopher this weekend. The time is now for Alabama because LSU gets the final visit next weekend.
Trending: LSU

Christian Williams
Visiting: Texas A&M
Williams is still on the Alabama commitment list, but he is not expected to sign with the Crimson Tide. He took an official visit to Miami last week, he is planning to visit LSU next week, and this weekend, he will be at Texas A&M. The Aggies are a new school in this race, so how will Williams feel in College Station? The word is he had a great time at Miami and has gotten pretty comfortable with the Hurricane coaching staff.
Trending: Miami

Byron Young
Visiting: Mississippi State
The Alabama commitment has two visits remaining, and this weekend Young will be at Mississippi State. Young continues to say he is “100-percent” committed to the Crimson Tide, but he is still taking visits, so he can’t be fully on board just yet. He has already taken official visits to Alabama, Florida and Ole Miss and LSU gets the last one next weekend. Can the Bulldogs convince Young to stay home? He and his family will take a long look at the program in Starkville this weekend.

4 different recruits can claim to be 2019’s No. 1. Who’s really the best?
quote:
Why different recruits can be considered No. 1 in the same year
Not all college football recruiting rankings are the same. Between the three ratings systems — 247Sports, Rivals, and ESPN — the data used to evaluate players are different. A team could claim to have the nation’s No. 1 overall player, but that guy might not be the top prospect in multiple outlets’ rankings.
For example in 2018, both Rivals and 247Sports listed five-star quarterback and Clemson commit Trevor Lawrence as the No. 1 overall prospect. But ESPN’s rankings had Georgia commit Justin Fields (who has since transferred to Ohio State) as the No. 1 guy. In 2015, all of these outlets, plus the Composite and Scout (which was since folded into 247), listed different No. 1 players, for a total of five.
In 2019, defensive ends Antonio Alfano, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and cornerback Derek Stingley are rated as the No. 1 guys at 247, ESPN, and Rivals, respectively. But defensive end Nolan Smith can make a case, as well, since he is so high up in all three. Let’s take a look at all four of these guys.
Posted on 1/25/19 at 1:04 pm to TideSaint
quote:
Why Antonio Alfano should be No. 1
Alfano is the No. 1 strong-side DE in the 2019 class and the nation’s No. 5 prospect per both the 247Sports Composite and Rivals. But he is the No. 1 prospect in the 247Sports (non-composite) ranks.
The Colonia (New Jersey) prospect early enrolled at Alabama after signing during the Early Signing Period in December. He was committed to the Tide since May 2018, picking Bama over Penn State and Georgia.
If Alabama’s coaches could be guaranteed a virtual clone of Jonathan Allen (2013-16), they’d be over the moon. That is essentially what the Tide is getting in Alfano. Allen was 6’4, 269 coming out of high school. Alfano is 6’4, 274 as of late December. That is tremendous size, but what truly made Allen special, and what will make Alfano special, is the ability to stay outside as a five- or six-technique, as opposed to having to move inside to defensive tackle. Most players this size cannot do that.
It takes unique athleticism to be able to “play up,” as opposed to having to move inside as a player becomes bigger and stronger. Allen left Alabama at 296 pounds, and Alfano should be able to do the same. When you see Alfano in person, it’s just different. He moves like a player who is 244, not 274. He has heavy, violent hands. He plays hard. A legitimate three-down impact player, he is perhaps the surest thing in the 2019 recruiting class.
