What's the story on Webb? Anything?
Webb really enjoys the recruiting process but with that being said he knows exactly where’s he’s going right now and that’s Alabama.
He’s told his friends,family,and bama coaches that he will sign with bama in the end.

Thanks! What's the staff's confidence level like now for Darnell Wright?

Still confident but Tennessee would probably be his choice today, but I’m not sure he could make one. It’s close...

I’ll say this, I wouldn’t make a prediction today on where he’ll end up. It’s that close, he’s tentatively scheduled to visit again for the 2nd cookout July 28th and I think bama might gain the lead and some momentum off that trip.

LINK ]Auburn WR commit George Pickens talks Tide (BamaOnLine-VIP)



4-star WR George Pickens 6-3.5/190 AL hudl

Pickens has no hard feelings from Bama offering him late. He said it was due to being hampered by an ankle injury on his first visit to Bama. He plans to take 5 OVs. Alabama, Georgia, FSU and Michigan are in the mix, but he talks like Bama is the leading threat to flip him. "They win. That’s what sets Bama apart... a lot of people don’t like, they hate it, but you can’t deny it. They win.” Taulia, Tyson and Quick are all recruiting him hard. He has become close with Taulia. Pickens said he'll return for Bama's late July Cookout.

LINK ]Decision coming soon for 5-star DB Dax Hill (BamaOnLine-VIP)



5* S/CB Daxton Hill 6-1/187 OK hudl

Hill said he'd make a decision in late summer or early in the fall. He said he might take an OV to Michigan or visit the in-state school(s) again in late summer. He did not name any leader(s). He likes Coach Scott a lot and talks with him daily.

ETA: Insider comments = very high confidence.

I just get this feeling Pickens flips to Alabama like Yeldon.

I hope we get Pickens. His 40 isn't the best, but he's big and a heck of a receiver.

Yup. I like small quick receivers but you need to have a few big guys too. Pickens is good after the catch too. I'm not sure how he blocks, but you can work on that

#1 player in the country in your backyard and you don’t even talk to him? What kind of mind games are you playing Helton? But honestly I won’t complain if it means we benefit in this case.

ATM mod Brian Perroni CBd Jeffery Carter to Bama on June 6, but has now CBd him to ATM.

ETA: Hank says there are some "rumblings" at The Opening Finals that ATM may now be in the lead for Carter, but he's not ready to change his Bama CB pick yet.

It could be the other way around. I get the sense he likes USC but expects the red carpet treatment since it is the home team but Helton is not going to budge. Not saying Helton is right or wrong but from what I have read KT seems upset about it.

That tells you all you need to know imo. No other than that athlete we were in on that ended up at USC last year. He going to USC.
