Savion Smith is up to 200 (up from 185 in Spring), Barmore is down to 292 (down from 310+ around NSD, Wynn down to 299 (down from 308). All of these are very good news.

The only listing I didn't like among newcomers was Ekiyor coming in at 342. That seems a good bit too heavy for his height.

I can’t confirm but I’d be surprised if Hatcher wasn’t on scholarship. I’m okay with that too. Dude gives every appearance of being a gammer.

Listening to Doug Mathews (basically a Vols guy but former coach who’s awesome to listen to) he thinks in the age of win the job or transfer Qbs you need to recruit a Qb here and there that will stick around, compete, learn the system and be a break if needed type guy. Hatcher seems to fit that mold very well.

OUInsider mod Brandon Drumm (newb?) made 4 CB picks:

Bru McCoy to USCw
Trey Sanders to UA
Jeffery Carter to ATM
Daxton Hill to OU

One isn't as likely as the other 3 to be correct.

Musika needs to get off that Mt. Cody diet if he wants to play. Dude is way too short to be carrying that type of weight. Disappointing he didn’t get himself in shape in the spring and summer.

What? He's lost several pounds. He was 360'ish when we signed him. Musika's made nice progress.

I think Nick Cross still being out there may be a sign of where Bama is sitting with Daxton Hill.

What happened with Gant? Are Scott and Golding just not high on him or was it a "mutual" parting of ways?

Alabama commits, targets to take part in 2019 Polynesian Bowl

quote:

The 2019 Polynesian Bowl is set to take place on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019 inside Aloha Stadium in Oahu, Hawaii. Alabama commitments and targets have been well represented in the last two editions of the game with this upcoming January's showdown set to feature the most Crimson Tide pledges yet.

After hosting four Tide commits in total in the 2017 (Tua Tagovailoa) and '18 Polynesian Bowls (Cameron Latu, Emil Ekiyor, Tommy Brown), Alabama has four commitments set to take part in the game come 2019.

Four-star defensive end Antonio Alfano of Colonia (N.J.) will make his way to Hawaii this winter. Rated the No. 4 strong-side defensive end and the No. 55 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings, Alfano chose Alabama back in May over Georgia and Penn State.

Last but not least, four-star quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa will return home this January like his older brother did in 2017. The Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson is rated the No. 6 pro-style quarterback and the No. 162 overall player in the country.

Several Alabama targets will also take part in this year's Polynesian Bowl.


quote:

Four-star defensive tackle Siaki "Apu" Ika from Salt Lake City (Utah) East is seriously considering the Crimson Tide. The 6-foot-3, 347-pounder is rated the No. 11 defensive tackle and the No. 158 overall player in the country. Ika has visited Tuscaloosa twice thus far in 2018 and is working on making his way back out for the second round of the Champions Cookout in a couple of weeks, if not certainly for an official visit. The Tide is trending on the 247Sports Crystal Ball.

Four-star athlete Devonta Lee is a big target of the Tide's. Despite being rated originally as a wide receiver, it's safety where Alabama envisions the Amite (La.) native.
