re: 2013 Alabama Football Recruiting Thread

Staff feels confident on EV but to be fair I think Eddie really loved Bama and the dad could sense that, so there's a strong possibility and there is no doubt that his best opportunity and best "business decision" that the Vanderdoes family seems to stress is at Bama (Dareus was a top 10 pick, UCLA or ND haven't had a top10 pick at any position, Teo might be this yr however his stock is plummeting) no doubt about it. Staff rolled out the red carpet and gave him arguably what they feel is the grandest recruiting visit they have put on all year (some on staff feel his is as big an impact guy for our D as Julio was on O and the biggest target of the numerous 5*'s Bama is after) and made the best of the opportunity to pitch him and his dad and grandad which is all Bama can hope for. I think we have a great shot all things considered.

Conner has been quiet since his in home with Saban. I still feel extremely confident Bama lands him, the SPHS "pipeline" is extremely overblown and he was a priority for the staff for a long time, his recruitment has been so quiet because of the pressure anyone in that state feels being even a marginal fball player much less a 5* stud, but Bama has done a great job and I feel he will roll with the Tide on Wed
