fellas. Any confidence % to throw out on Surtain?

Exactly, these kids get excited during a visit but they calm down when they go home. NSD will tell all

Brock Purdy is taking a mid-week OV to UCF starting on Wednesday. He will be in Tuscaloosa this weekend as scheduled.
Hank South still believes he will commit to Alabama on his visit FWIW.

Unfortunately, he's probably right. If we had gotten a silent this weekend, these other offers may not be going out. Then again, we could just be covering our bases so we don't end up with nothing at CB on NSD.

Except we do this EVERY SINGLE YEAR. And EVERY SINGLE YEAR people spend endless time talking about what it means. People simply don't learn from history anymore.

Apparently we have a few Bama baws, other than phaz, who live in Arizona and know a little bit more about Purdy's recruitment. Here are a few posts regarding him from some posters on BOL:
quote:
UCF is our toughest competition. They are putting the full court press on Brock. But after the conversation Brock had with Coach Saban last week I will be shocked if he doesn’t end up here.
This kid is the poster child for hidden gem. A couple things that were out of his control kept him from being a household name as a recruit.
quote:
He started his junior season playing with mononucleosis, which kept his weight down and made him weak. He played several weeks hovering around 180 pounds and just didn’t have the strength that colleges covet. He looked small and frail. Once his senior highlights came out he started getting attention.
quote:
Plus his HS coach was in only his 2nd year and basically didn’t do a good job of promoting him. His dad had to get out film and make contacts on his own. But I believe he also broke his arm in the early summer (non-throwing arm) and so missed out on the camp circuit

Does Surtain have a OV scheduled to LSU before signing day? If not, Bama might have a slight chance. If he does, Bama has 0 chance.

Nothing wrong with doing your due diligence.

He already took an OV there.

This gif is relevant in more than one way.

Dude loves him some LSU. Will give him credit that he works his arse off & puts out a lot of content but definitely comes across as a fanboy at times

I think it's more the former than the latter, unfortunately. I think we only end up with Eddie Smith.

I don't necessarily believe that means we are in bad shape, I think it means we are covering our butt. Look at the recruitment of DWA, we were 100% sure we would get a commit from him and he committed to Texas, then we were 100% sure he was going to sign in the early period and he signs with UTk and we didn't have a contingency plan. I think we are just trying to not get caught with our wanger in our hand.

I don't see Bama landing Surtain or Campbell. I do think they land ITS and Smith.

I think we pull Surtain and land either ITS or Smith. I don't think we have room for all 3 even though I'd like to see all of them in this class.
