Watching Thibodeaux's highlights reminds you of Clowney. He seems unstoppable when he comes to play. Quick,Fast and Violent. Great size too. Saban should pull all stops to corral him.

Thibo is a monster, speaking of monsters hows eyabi anoma doing? I've seen his jersey in mop up time but how do coaches feel about him?

I know for a fact Dean has been super quiet. I was at Smith lake with one of his coaches last Saturday. He hasn't tipped a hand either way, does seem like the FSU visit wore off. It will be a Bama/UGA race but no one knows who is leading but him. Any predictions are just guessing at this point.. from what Im told he even avoids his team mates on this. There is no insiders on his picks, maybe he will open up later. He is very close with this coach and even told the coach he would rather focus on the season and not talk about it.

Bama's staff is very confident on Dean. What that ultimately means is anyone's guess. But they are confident on both Dean and To'oto'o.

Do we take both if they want to come

LINK ]Ten of the biggest names expected at Alabama this weekend (BamaOnLine)
quote:
Alabama is expected to play host to dozens of notable recruits this weekend with Texas A&M coming to town.
The weekend marks the first major recruiting event of the Crimson Tide's since the Champions Cookout at the end of July.
The Tide currently resides in the No. 3 spot in the 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings behind Texas A&M at No. 2 and Georgia at No. 1. However, the margins are very narrow between the trio of programs, meaning just one commitment or decommitment could completely alter the order.
Alabama will look to kickstart the recruiting momentum that it had so much of from April through July over the course of the next few days.
Nick Saban and staff will have multiple 5-star targets as well as many of its top commitments on hand to see the Tide take on the Aggies.
Here, BamaOnLine takes a look at the 10 biggest uncommitted (or not committed to Alabama) names expected at the Capstone.

KAYVON THIBODEAUX, 5-STAR DE, WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA
The 5-star defensive end from California is making his official visit to Tuscaloosa (third trip this year) and it couldn't come at much better of time for the Tide considering two of the schools among his top group, Florida State and Southern Cal, are off to rather unimpressive starts to the 2018 season. Thibodeaux is rated the No. 1 weak-side defensive end and the No. 1 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings. The 247Sports Crystal Ball favors the Seminoles at this juncture, but the Tide is also represented among the predictions. Thibodeaux officially visited FSU earlier this month for the Noles' season opener.

CLAY WEBB, 5-STAR OC, OXFORD, AL
The state of Alabama's top-rated player will be one of the most extensively covered recruits throughout the fall. That's because Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, and Clemson are all still in the race with many feeling it's turning into a tight battle between the Tide and the Bulldogs. At one point in the Oxford (Ala.) product's recruitment most would have laughed had anybody presented the idea of him ending up anywhere else other than Tuscaloosa. That's no longer the case as Webb is giving all the aforementioned programs serious looks running up to December when he will announce and enroll early. The 6-foot-3, 295-pounder is rated the No. 1 center and the No. 21 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite. The 247Sports Crystal Ball still favors the Tide heavily.

NAKOBE DEAN, 5-STAR ILB, HORN LAKE, MS
Another recruitment shrouded in a bit of mystery is that of the nation's No. 1 inside linebacker's. You could make an argument for about half a dozen schools as to why Dean could end up there. However, there hasn't been a program he's visited more since June than Alabama. The Horn Lake (Miss.) product took an official visit to Tuscaloosa on June 15 and returned the following weekend with his 7on7 team. Dean saw the Tide play last week in Oxford on a visit to Ole Miss and is expected back in Tuscaloosa this weekend. He plans to officially visit Georgia, LSU, Auburn, and then either Florida State or Texas A&M before signing early and enrolling early at his next stop.

GEORGE PICKENS, 4-STAR WR, HOOVER, AL (Auburn commit)
If Alabama were to land the elite wide receiver from Hoover (Ala.), it would not only add one of the nation's most talented pass catchers, but also take one of the biggest pieces away from Auburn's 2019 recruiting class. Talk about two birds with one stone. Pickens is expected in town for the first time since the summer. The Tide offered the 6-foot-3.5, 190-pounder in May, which was late compared to many of the other teams after him. There's no hard feelings from the 4-star wideout, though. Along with the Tide, teams like Florida State and Georgia are working to flip the nation's No. 7-ranked receiver, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

WANDALE ROBINSON, 4-STAR APB, FRANKFORT, KY
Robinson will return to Tuscaloosa on an official visit this weekend, which will mark his third time on campus since June. The 4-star all-purpose back is recruited as a slot receiver. Robinson had a big camp showing, which netted him an offer back in the summer. The Frankfort (Ky.) Western Hills product retuned to Alabama for the Champions Cookout at the end of July. The Tide is in Robinson's top five that also includes Michigan, Nebraska, Purdue, and Kentucky. At 5-foot-9.5, 179 pounds, Robinson is rated the No. 4 all-purpose back and the No. 323 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

JERRION EALY, 4-STAR RB, FLOWOOD, MS (Ole Miss commit)
The 4-star running back that's committed to play both football and baseball at Ole Miss looked on the verge of flipping to the Crimson Tide back in April. When Alabama offered, the Magnolia State native said it was a dream school and didn't wait long to get on campus. Things have kind of simmered off since then with Alabama's continued pursuit and standing for 5-star running back Trey Sanders, but Ealy remains in the mix. One interesting note: Ealy could end up not even playing football at the next level if he decides to turn pro in baseball. At 5-foot-10, 200 pounds, Ealy is rated the No. 3 running back and the No. 48 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

McKINNLEY JACKSON, 2020 5-STAR DT, LUCEDALE, MS
The nation's No. 1 defensive tackle, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings, made an early commitment to LSU last fall before deciding to back off that decision earlier this year. The Lucedale (Miss.) George County product has spoken extremely highly of the Tide in the past having made a couple visits already this year to Tuscaloosa, the last of which came back in June. Alabama defensive line coach Craig Kuligoswki stopped off at George County last week to see Jackson. Expect the Tide to say squarely in the mix for the nation's No. 15 overall player throughout his recruitment.

DWIGHT McGLOTHERN, 2020 5-STAR CB, CEDAR HILL, TX
The nation's No. 4 cornerback, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, is trending heavily to Texas A&M on the 247Sports Crystal Ball. It's safe to assume they are the team to beat in his recruitment. But, if there's one team that can keep it close with the Aggies, it's the Crimson Tide. The Cedar Hill (Texas) Trinity Christian Academy product camped at the Capstone over the summer, at which point the Tide appeared to have left a very positive impression. Alabama will have another opportunity to do just that this weekend with likely what is McGlothern's No. 1 school in town.

REGGIE GRIMES, 2020 4-STAR WDE, MT. JULIET, TN
Grimes is making his third visit back to Alabama since June. The Mt. Juliet (Tenn.) product, who is the son of former Alabama defensive lineman Reggie Grimes, earned an offer at camp in June and then returned for the Champions Cookout in July. Despite growing up a fan of the Tide, and of course his dad hoping that's who he ultimately lands with, the younger Grimes is keeping an open approach when it comes to recruiting and has been adamant that he doesn't have a favorite at this point. It appears as though the Tide is going to prioritize the Top100 Jack linebacker target, and you have to think in doing so has a good chance to end up landing the Volunteer State product.

ROYDELL WILLIAMS, 2020 4-STAR RB, HUEYTOWN, AL
The 4-star running back from just down the road in Hueytown, Ala. named the Tide his leader back in February when the staff offered him at Junior Day. Over the course of the spring, Williams took a step back and instead said that both Alabama and Auburn were tied atop his list. The 5-foot-10, 202-pounder visited Auburn last weekend and is expected back in Tuscaloosa on Saturday. He doesn't plan to make a decision until his senior year. Williams is rated the No. 21 running back and the No. 246 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Dean and to'ooto

I think Bama would take both. ILB is one of the most pressing needs in this recruiting class.

This is not directed to you at all..
but They said the same about Hill and everyone last year.... I don't see any staff leaking anything after Kirby. Its all just click bait.. and assumptions.
