Pickering has some personal issues. Suicidal thoughts and substance abuse are past demons he has to deal with

So does Surtain have a cousin (lefty QB) in high school that we looked at? Anybody know?
Random Q I know, but the kid was sitting behind me at the game and almost tackled me when Surtain got the pick.

Thib looks faded AF.
Thib probably took a red-eye flight after playing on Friday night. He was probably pretty dang tired by Saturday night. His family did come.

Didn't know about the B'ham connection. Wonder if his grandad was a Bama fan.

Nation's No. 1 player shares special moment with Nick Saban (BamaOnLine)
quote:
The nation's No. 1 team had the nation's No. 1 player on campus this weekend as Kayvon Thibodeaux returned to Tuscaloosa for his official visit.
The return trip to the Capstone is the Thousand Oaks (Calif.) Oaks Christian product's third time on campus this year after making his inaugural visit to T-Town in April and again for Champions Cookout in June.
Despite residing over 2,000 miles away, Thibodeaux revealed that he has a special connection to the state of Alabama and the University itself. Over the weekend on his visit, the 5-star Tide target was able to honor his great grandfather who passed away.
"I had a great time at Alabama," Thibodeaux tweeted. "I just wanna give a special thanks to Coach Saban, he signed a picture of my great grandfather who passed away, he was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama and was a big #Bama fan. That made my grandmother so happy. So thanks again #RollTide"
Alabama would certainly like to sign the nation's top player and may have boosted its chances in pursuit of that goal this weekend. After Oaks Christian defeated Bakersfield Christian 89-0 on Friday night, Thibodeaux hopped on a flight out of LAX to Birmingham, arriving in time for kickoff against Texas A&M on Saturday. The 6-foot-4.5, 239-pounder spent time with Tide junior linebacker Mack Wilson throughout the weekend. BOL Publisher Tim Watts provided a little more VIP insight to the visit on Monday morning.
Thibodeaux has now officially visited Alabama and Florida State. Oregon, USC, and Florida are expected to receive his remaining three visits.

Can we ban all non-bama posters? These random down votes are getting silly

Nebraska - Wandale Robinson
Michigan and Purdue hosted Robinson for official visits in June and the Kentucky native just came back from an official visit to Alabama this past weekend. An unofficial visit to Ohio State was also snuck in there and we expect to see Robinson at Kentucky soon as well. Nebraska, however, brought him in earlier this month for an official visit and may be the team to beat. Scott Frost’s offense is a perfect fit for Robinson, who would be used in the Cornhuskers' “Duck-R” running back role. We may not have to wait long for a decision from Robinson.

Breaking down Mater Dei-IMG showdown
quote:
SANTA ANA, Calif. - Arguably the two best high school programs in the country, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei and Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy, faced off on Friday night with Mater Dei winning a 28-24 thriller. Here are my impressions on many of the top prospects in the matchup:
Posted on 9/24/18 at 11:21 am to TideSaint
quote:
Trey Sanders
The five-star running back was the best player on the field, rushing 13 times for 181 yards and one touchdown and he was also amazing in the punt return game returning one for a score but it was called back for a penalty and he had another long return called back because of another flag.
Sanders is such a strong and determined runner, he has quick feet in the hole and gets upfield so fast without dancing and wasting time. It was an outstanding performance against a tough Mater Dei defense that knew IMG was going to run the ball.

quote:
Evan Neal
If there is a trim 360 pounds, Neal looks the part probably because I remember seeing him when he was nearly 400 pounds last year. The five-star played offensive tackle all night and did an excellent job handling power and speed. He plays with a mean streak, he moves well for his size and he’s stayed lean this season, which is important over the long term.
Posted on 9/24/18 at 11:22 am to TideSaint
quote:
Elias Ricks
Ricks had an interception in a big spot and he shut down his side of the field all night although IMG was not throwing the ball all that much. The 2020 five-star cornerback has such incredible length that it’s hard to get around him on short passes as he wraps up well and near impossible to get behind him because Ricks has great speed as well.
He did get some unnecessary penalties - including one on a fair catch call when he was returning a punt - but we’ll give him a pass for being too hyped up in a big setting.

Bo Nix has not been playing very well this year. Even the barners are starting to turn on him. 7 on 7 player.

Marcus banks waiting to hop on the Bama train
quote:
LSU commitment Marcus Banks was in Tuscaloosa for an official visit and multiple sources close to the Texas native’s recruitment stressed he had a great time after arriving on Friday, and that Alabama put themselves in good position if they decide to make a push for his signature down the road. Banks took a summer official visit to Texas A&M and then LSU before committing to the Bayou Bengals. But Alabama has always been lurking in the weeds with Tide assistant Jeff Banks having established a strong relationship. As noted, the visit went fantastic with Banks spending time with Baton Rouge native Christopher Allen as well as Deionte Thompson and Jaylen Waddle. There were nothing but good reviews coming from the Banks camp. One source indicated if Bama makes the push we discussed earlier, the Tide will be tough to beat.
Basically Bama likes him but waiting to see how numbers work out and if they do banks is ready to join them.
