Taulia Tagovailoa
The question right now around Taulia Tagovailoa is will he take official visits? He was at LSU over the weekend for the Alabama game, he has visited Tennessee and schools are going to continue to pursue him until he signs his letter of intent. It is still hard seeing the Rivals250 quarterback sign with any other program than the Crimson Tide at this point. If he takes an official visit to LSU or Tennessee, then things could change, but for now, we still feel Alabama is in a great spot.
Verdict: No worries

Brandon Turnage
What really started to raise eyebrows was when Alabama commit Brandon Turnage said he would not sign during the Early Signing Period a few months ago. He has changed that and he now plans to sign in December, but there is still some reason for concern in Tuscaloosa. He will sign after he takes official visits to Alabama, Nebraska and Ole Miss. He was in Oxford for the South Carolina game last weekend and there is some talk about Ole Miss having a real chance to flip this one. He has family connections to Ole Miss, it is an in-state school and the Rebels have been working hard for this one. The Huskers will give it a shot too.
Verdict: Moderate concern

Christian Williams
The Alabama staff does not lose too many recruits that they want. Rivals100 defensive back Christian Williams is taking a hard look at LSU though and the Tigers should be taken seriously. Williams does not say too much about his recruitment, but there seems to be some level of confidence in Baton Rouge. Williams plans to take official visits to each school, so this one is not over yet. LSU is definitely making this one more interesting than many thought it would be a couple of months ago.
Verdict: Moderate concern

Byron Young
Byron Young committed to Alabama on July 4, so he has been on the Tide’s commitment list for just over four months. This fall, not only has he visited Alabama, but he has taken visits to Florida, LSU, Mississippi State and Ole Miss. Even with those visits, Saban and his staff still seem to feel good about keeping Young in this class. Is there a real threat to Alabama? There does not seem to be at this time based on what we are hearing. Young is taking visits, keeping communication open with schools, and things could change, but for now, Alabama is in a great spot.
Verdict: No worries

Simmons Mailbag: Haselwood, Pappoe, Sopsher and more
quote:
There is nothing better than interacting with all the college football and recruiting fans out there. We opened it up to Twitter and I appreciate each question.
There were questions about five-star Ishmael Sopsher, No. 1 running back Trey Sanders, playmaker Jadon Haselwood and more.
Here are my answers to your great questions.

Will LSU get Emery, Sopsher, Cain?
Right now, I say with some confidence that LSU will get one from that list. With Tyrion Davis already committed at running back, I cannot see the Tigers landing both John Emery and Noah Cain. It seems Emery is the No. 1 target and LSU really has some momentum right now. Cain is still up in the air.
With Sopsher, Alabama may have a slight edge here. He is so tight with Ed Orgeron though, LSU is not going anywhere. This is another one of those wars between Alabama and LSU for an elite prospect in Louisiana. We have seen each school win these wars over the years. This one could still go either way. I do not have the same confidence in LSU getting Sopsher as I do the Tigers landing Emery at this time. With Sopsher signing on National Signing Day in February, this one will go the distance.

Where do you think trey sanders is going?
It is hard for me seeing Sanders ending up anywhere other than Tuscaloosa right now. Yes, Texas got him in Austin for an official visit in September and Florida has his brother in Gainesville, but if Sanders does not end up at Alabama, I will be shocked.
The Crimson Tide have had the momentum since mid-summer and I considered the five-star a strong Alabama lean. He is set to take his official visit there at the end of the month. Not many times do you see a top prospect commit to the same school twice, but I see it happening here.

How solid is Owen pappoe and George pickens to auburn?
I see one more solid than the other at this time. I still like Auburn’s chances with George Pickens at this time, but Alabama is still one to watch. With Owen Pappoe, Tennessee is a real threat. Georgia is expecting him on campus this weekend, but the Vols are viewed more of a threat to Auburn than the Bulldogs at this time. Pappoe was in Knoxville last week for the Charlotte game instead of being at Auburn for the Texas A&M game.
There is a lot of chatter behind the scenes right now about Pappoe and Tennessee. The Vols are expecting him in Knoxville on Dec. 14, the last weekend before the Early Signing Period. So Auburn should be worried here. I do feel Alabama is a threat for Pickens, but not at the same level Tennessee is for Pappoe.

Who do you see UGA landing at running back this cycle? Bonus question... what’s the latest on Nakobe Dean?
At running back, Georgia will sign one. That much I know. Who is the question. The one with the most buzz right now is Kenny McIntosh out of South Florida. If I had to put a name on the list that Georgia signs, today, it would be him. He has been viewed as an Auburn lean in the past, but even when Georgia had John Emery on its commitment list, McIntosh was still being recruited. Dell McGee saw him a few weeks ago and now McIntosh will be in Athens for an official visit this weekend. He is a big back like Georgia wants in this class, so he is the one to watch right now. Noah Cain is a name to put in your back pocket though. UGA is still involved there too.
On Nakobe Dean, this is shaping up to be a battle between Alabama and Georgia. There is no doubt Dean is Georgia’s No. 1 target at inside linebacker right now. The Dawgs have one spot left at that position and Dean is their guy. He has visit Athens numerous times with his family and he is set to return this weekend. Auburn is in it, but it does not appear to be at the level of Alabama and Georgia. The same can be said about LSU, Ole Miss and Texas A&M. This weekend is huge for Georgia as it tries to gain some real momentum with Dean and his family as we hit the final turn before the Early Signing Period.
FWIW, the insider on BOL says we "definitely lead" for Nakobe Dean.

I looked for his Senior film after seeing your post this morning. He doesn't have much out there.
Haven't seen any film but I do remember camp reports from this summer where he was by far the most dominant DL at a camp with a lot of five stars.

Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge presented by adidas
quote:
When we saw Khris Bogle at the first Rivals 3 Stripe Camp presented by adidas in Miami back in February, he dominated. The No. 3 weakside defensive end was even better Thursday. He was named MVP for the defensive line, and it was not really that close. He looks like a wide receiver on the hoof and showed great quickness off the ball and the ability to win inside and outside. Miami is viewed as the favorite for the local product.

He proved his worth by competing against some of the best, most talented prospect in the 2019 class at the camp. He ran a drill against five-star offensive lineman Clay Webb and won both reps.
