What are the chances of getting Dylan Moses and Marvin Wilson?

(@From @cometoBama)

Slim.

With Moses, the 5-star linebacker from IMG Academy, almost everyone in the recruiting industry, myself included, thinks he will commit to LSU. He has openly said he would like to see the Tigers win a championship and his relationship with Les Miles is stronger than every other coach in the country. He’s also originally from Baton Rouge and has said he looks up to LSU running back Leonard Fournette. Moses has also talked about wearing the prestigious No. 7 if he ends up going to LSU. If Miles is coaching the Tigers in 2017, Moses will be playing for him.

Now he did have a very sour taste in his mouth with how the administration treated Miles at the end of last season. The Tigers were completely off his top schools list because of the talk surrounding Miles and his status with the program. If that happens again this year, I can see Alabama becoming a major player for him. After all, the Tide did lead for him at one point.

With Wilson, the 5-star defensive tackle from Texas, he’s had a very up-and-down relationship with Alabama. Minutes after it was announced that Bo Davis would be resigning from Alabama, Wilson tweeted that he was no longer going to consider the Tide. He changed his stance on that several days later, but make no mistake about it, his relationship with new defensive line coach Karl Dunbar is nowhere near as strong as what it was with Davis. If Davis stayed at Alabama, the Tide would have definitely been one of the teams to beat.

I was also told by someone close to Wilson that it’s highly unlikely he is going to end up with the Tide.
