Some guy named Ronald Evans. I was just looking for some news and came across it. Is there any confirmed list of who’s coming to cookout? Or is it to early?

Ronald Evans isn't very good on recruiting, but not quite as bad as the guy on tdalabamamag. It's still too early for the Cookout visitors list.

Since Tuitlele camped with us last month , is he on the outside looking in? Seems like talk of him was not a good camp and he’s dropped some in rankings? I actually am good with it cuz Ika is a beast!! And Sopsher of course would be the cherry on top!!!! I watched Pickering from the opening, man I wish he was into us more.

Q: Nakobe Dean?

A: I'm just not ready to make a pick yet. I think Alabama is right there with UGA and Texas A&M. Just want to see how his remaining official visits go.

Q: Give us 5 recruits you feel confident of being in Bama’s class.

A: Sanders, Hill, Webb, Ika, Wright


Ok, which Wright from the front page are we talking about here? I just signed up for a monthly membership and 7 day free trial and I see more than one kid we are after with that last name. I have never really followed recruiting closely but thanks to this thread and you guys putting in work I am hooked. So which Wright is it? Thanks.

Alfano, Young and Eboigbe fit Bama's versatile DE/DT profile. Dale and Sopsher fit the heavier DT profile and so does 2020 DT Jayson Jones. Sopsher is very likely to be in this class and Cheney isn't. If Bama takes a 6th DL (in addition to Sopsher), Leal (DE/DT) and Pickering (DE/DT) appear to be higher on the board for that spot than Ika (340/DT) and Tuitele (300-DT/DE). So, Bama might try for a while longer to flip Leal or Pickering before they take Ika or Tuitele.

Based on what the chat dialog was at that point it appears he meant Darnell Wright. However, Milton Wright would probably commit right now if he had green light. But, it appears Jameson Williams (maybe Pickens too) is higher on the board than Milton Wright.

Tim and Hank CBd Lee to LSU. Their sources indicated that Lee wants to be at Bama but will likely commit to LSU soon. They also indicated that it won't hurt Bama's chances with Sopsher. LSU has been pushing for Lee to secure his spot while there's still room.

ETA: Getting downvotes from LSU lurkers?

ETA: It's also interesting that Christian Harris got invited and will be at the Cookout on Friday. With Cowan's exit, Bama might give him a green light. I doubt taking Harris would bother Dean. He has said he doesn't worry about competing for PT.

Hint: You can always look the at Prediction graph, and it will show you which teams gained or lost picks.

Bama has 19 commits not counting Cheney.
If Bama manages to take 28 and finish with

5* RB Trey Sanders
5* OC Clay Webb
5* OT Darnell Wright
5* DT Ishmael Sopsher
5* ILB Nakobe Dean
4* ILB Christian Harris
5* OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux
5* S/CB Daxton Hill
5* CB Akeem Dent

the class score = 330.46, with 9 5-stars.

And that’s a very possible 10 5 stars . When Alfano blows up his senior year and enters the 5 star picture!!

So I guess we are all in agreement that based on our needs Nakobe Dean is our top priority right now and probably has been for some time. There may be some better overall players left on the board that we would be thrilled to have but this class desperately needs that elite ILB that can come in and start immediately like what we saw the first two years under Saban with Ro, Hightower etc.
