If Alabama adds another LB, who do you think it will be?
(From @footballrecc)
Alabama has 3 linebackers committed — VanDarius Cowan, Markail Benton and Gary Johnson — and the Tide would like to add at least one more to those 4-star recruits.
Jarez Parks is the likeliest addition to the trio mentioned above. Parks is being recruited at the JACK position, which is a hybrid of outside linebacker and defensive end. He visited Tuscaloosa this summer and had commitment on his mind. He held off to take more time with his decision. But talking to someone close to him, Alabama is the team to beat for him at this time. Florida and Florida State are also in the mix.
If Alabama also adds a true linebacker to its class, 4-star prospect Jacob Phillips is a name to know. Alabama is definitely a team that is trending for Phillips, but space may be an issue. It’s unclear right now whether Alabama would take five linebackers.

With Isaiah Buggs having Bama in his top 4, what’s the latest on him?
(From @PolkTpolk638)
Buggs is a top defensive line target for Alabama, but he has not visited Tuscaloosa yet. That’s obviously an issue for the Tide’s chances of landing him. LSU and Auburn are definitely the teams to beat right now.
He did tell me recently that he has plans to take an official visit to Tuscaloosa this fall, but no date has been set yet. What also helps Alabama’s chances is the fact that he is now planning on making a commitment on National Signing Day. He was originally going to announce this fall.
If he ends up visiting Alabama, the Tide will become a big factor.
