One thing thats crazy to think about. Remember how bummed we were about Robert Nkemdiche? Look now at A'Shawn Robinson and Jarran Reed and Jonathan Allen. All out playing him

Last two CBs, within the last 24 hours, for DeBerry have been for Oklahoma FWIW.

LANDON COLLINS, SAFETY
Collins could well become the second Alabama safety in three years chosen in the first round, following Mark Barron and HaHa Clinton-Dix. Thanks to his size, speed and instincts — not to mention his impressive season, in which he led Alabama with 90 tackles and three interceptions — Collins should be a first round pick, and some projections have him as high as the top five. If that’s the case, it would be silly for the Thorpe Award finalist to risk hurting his stock in his senior season.

AMARI COOPER, WIDE RECEIVER
This is a no-brainer, and Lane Kiffin already has said publicly that he fully expects Cooper will put his name into the draft. After shattering just about every Alabama receiving record imaginable, winning the Biletnikoff Award and earning a trip to New York as a Heisman finalist, there’s nothing left for Cooper to prove at the college level. He’ll be a top-10 pick come draft day.

RYAN KELLY, CENTER
Kelly is one of the best centers in the SEC and has a claim among the top tier of centers in the nation, but he seems like a lock to come back for his senior season. Losing him would be a major blow for the Crimson Tide, as Arie Kouandjio, Leon Brown and Austin Shepherd were all seniors in 2014. Kelly once again missed several games this season, but if he had been healthy this would be more of a question.

REGGIE RAGLAND, INSIDE LINEBACKER
After spending his first two seasons on campus mostly on special teams, Ragland took hold of a starting role and impressed as a junior. He finished second on the team with 86 tackles and had 8.5 tackles for loss, and the AP voted him as a first-team All-SEC performer. With only one year of starting experience, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Ragland come back for another year of seasoning, but his strong season and physical skills leave the door open.

T.J. YELDON, RUNNING BACK
The NFL is not anywhere near as keen on drafting running backs as it was just a few years ago, when Alabama standout Trent Richardson was the third overall pick in 2012. Even after a lackluster junior year, Yeldon’s stock might not get any higher than the second-round grade that most experts have assigned him. This will be a running back-heavy year, though, with Todd Gurley, Tevin Coleman, Melvin Ingram, Ameer Abdullah and Duke Johnson all projected to go ahead of or right around Yeldon should he enter the draft.

Saban tops list of finalists for Dodd Trophy for coach of the year
Although most of the college football awards have already been handed out, University of Alabama coach Nick Saban was one of 12 finalists named for the Dodd Trophy for Coach of the Year.
Four other coaches from the Southeastern Conference made the list: Hugh Freeze of Ole Miss, Dan Mullen of Mississippi State, Gary Pinkel of Missouri and Mark Richt of Georgia.
The Dodd Trophy “recognizes the head coach of a team that emphasizes the highest ideals of scholarship, leadership and integrity on and off the field.”
It’s one of the few coaching of the year awards that Saban hasn’t won, but Bill Curry did at Alabama in 1989.
The finalists:
Art Briles, Baylor, Big 12
Jimbo Fisher, Florida State, ACC
Hugh Freeze, Ole Miss, SEC
Bryan Harsin, Boise State, Mountain West
Urban Meyer, Ohio State, Big Ten
Jim Mora, UCLA, Pac 12
Dan Mullen, Mississippi State, SEC
Gary Patterson, TCU, Big 12 2009 Winner
Gary Pinkel, Missouri, SEC
Mark Richt, Georgia, SEC
Nick Saban, Alabama, SEC
Dabo Swinney, Clemson, ACC 2011 Winner
The winner will be announced in Atlanta during Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl week.

We just got a couple of CB's for Jonathan Taylor. FWIW
Posted on 12/17/14 at 10:05 am to TideSaint
I kind of agree on deberry but we wanted Phillips at lb this past week until he was not an ee so deberry would fit that role

The guy who put his cb in is the Miss St insider. He then posted on the Miss St. Board that he expects Taylor to sign with Alabama. Not sure what to think about this.
Posted on 12/17/14 at 10:27 am to chattabama
I'll be embarrassed if we sign that kid. It'd be shameful by both Saban and Bonner.
Posted on 12/17/14 at 10:32 am to Bryant91092
I may be hypocritical in this, as I was okay with Pettway coming back, but I may have a serious melt if this guy signs with Bama. Here's to hoping Bonner puts the university above the football program.
Posted on 12/17/14 at 11:19 am to chattabama
Whats the back story on this kid?
Posted on 12/17/14 at 11:20 am to chattabama
I wasn't okay with Pettway coming back. I still am kind of not okay with it.
I really don't want Taylor. We have plenty of DT prospects that are waiting their turn, and they should get the nod over Taylor.

No worse than signing pettway
