Barber is the most underrated back in this class IMO


He put up some very good numbers in a really good region in Georgia.

From a publicity standpoint with the general public, considering most just watch ESPN and go by their rankings (even though they suck)

If we can pull out a best case scenario, we are going to have a ridiculous ESPN recruiting class. I mean, it is going to be easy top 10 fringe top 5 with how other things shake out

Even if we don't get Foster, I'll be so impressed with this class given everything that's happened in the last 12 months

I hate to be one of those people, but I see Lawson and Barber helping a good bit in 2013. I had a nice fap.

Hey A4L, have you kept track of everybody that said they were in? I would love for a stop to all the Miss State and Ole Miss fighting.

I was going to ask why this is a good trade. Wilkins is generally ranked higher. I know there are some questions about Wilkins following the fracture. So general consensus is that this was a good move? Does Wilkins not fit in Gustavo's offense?

Exactly. Alexander is a top 5 recruit on there and Reuben and Adams are top 20. We would have a crazy good class on every site if the best case scenario happened, but especially on ESPN.

Not as well as Mr. Barber, apparently!

Except on Scout. The only player they like of ours is Marshall, who is a 4 star. Lawson isn't even a 5 star.

Barber played better competition in high school and is already 6'0 and about 220-230 and muscle. Weight lifting champion who runs around a 4.5ish. Wilkins will be good but Barber is a little more prepared to play now than Wilkins and the injury is scary when you need the immediate depth and help.

EagleDamnWar ?@EagleDamnWar
There may or may not have been an altercation but Foster was scheduled to visit Alabama on Saturday regardless.

EagleDamnWar ?@EagleDamnWar
The secret visit was blown when Alabama player tweeted that he was hanging out with Foster.


Who knows where he is getting this information, or even if it is true. I figured I would pass it along anyways.

Call me crazy, but Barber looks every bit as good as Green. Looks like a 5* to me. His highlight is sick.
