But he swore up and down Patrick Surtain was a LSU lock until the end so what does he know?

Top Alabama target picks up important offer from another SEC school
Christian Harris, one of Bama's top 2019 targets.

Welcome to SEC Country’s daily Roll Tide-ings, a rundown of everything happening in Alabama Crimson Tide recruiting with Chris Kirschner. Today, we talk the latest with one of Alabama’s top inside linebacker targets.

Christian Harris adds offer from LSU
This offer was going to come eventually for Christian Harris. Harris, a 4-star athlete at University Lab High School, lives in Baton Rouge, La., and grew up a fan of the Tigers. LSU offered on Thursday. University Lab’s football field is within earshot of Tiger Stadium. You can clearly see it from the field.
He’s also one of the hottest recruits in the country. Since visiting Alabama last weekend, Harris has added offers from Florida, Florida State, Georgia, TCU, Tennessee and now LSU. That doesn’t include numerous other offers since the year began.
The 6-foot-1, 225-pound prospect told SEC Country after his visit to Tuscaloosa that Alabama was his leader. The Tide held a giant lead over Texas and Texas A&M, which were tied for No. 2.
I asked Harris what an LSU offer would mean to his recruitment, and here’s what he said:
“Right now, I’m pretty stuck on Alabama. Having an LSU offer is really everyone’s dream if you’re a high school player from Baton Rouge. Having an offer from your hometown school is a pretty big accomplishment. It would mean a lot to me.”
It’s interesting to note that Alabama considers Harris one of its top inside linebacker targets in the 2019 class, but LSU offered Harris as an offensive athlete, according to our own Sam Spiegelman. Harris told me that he doesn’t have a position preference.
Harris wouldn’t be the first University Lab graduate to play for Alabama. Dylan Moses played for U-Lab before transferring to IMG Academy for his senior season. Moses and Harris were close when the former lived in Baton Rouge.
“Dylan Moses and I grew up in the same football league and we ran track together,” Harris said. “He went to my high school, too. We were pretty good friends when he was here. I haven’t really talked to him much since he left. Him being at Alabama, we all knew how good he was, but they have made him so much better. I saw it when he started a couple of games at the end of the season.”
I don’t think this offer changes much right now. Alabama has a significant lead for one of the nation’s top athletes, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him make an early commitment.

5-star commit headed to Tennessee this weekend
Pierce Quick, a 5-star tackle from Hewitt-Trussville High School (Trussville, Ala.), will visit Tennessee this weekend. Quick had a close relationship with Brian Niedermeyer when he was at Alabama as an assistant director of player personnel. Niedermeyer is now the Volunteers’ tight ends coach.
Quick is going to be Alabama’s best peer recruiter in the 2019 class, but he’s going to take visits elsewhere. He’s likely going to take all five of his official visits, but it would be a shock if he didn’t sign with the Crimson Tide.
The 6-5, 285-pound prospect grew up dreaming of Alabama, and I don’t think any other school is going to get in the way of him accomplishing one of his biggest goals.

Surely he just misrepped to only get 14. They don’t get to reset if they hit too low once do they?

He has like a 6’10” wingspan. Those long arms make it hard to get a ton of reps. His max is prolly impressive, but in terms of multi-repping a high weight load on those long arms I’m not overly surprised.
Posted on 3/1/18 at 11:30 pm to bamasgot13
225 isn't a high weight load and having a long wing span shouldn't make that much of a drastic difference.
It's either he isn't as strong as he looks or our weight program focuses specifically on floor exercises (power cleans, hang clean, squats, etc..) and not much on chest strengthening/building.

Alabama Football Recruiting Big Board: Linebackers

The 2019 recruiting class is now on the clock.
The Recruiting Big Board is a look at how Alabama stacks up both now and in the future at every position. Inside we will take a look at the Crimson Tide’s current needs and possible players it might add to replace them.
Today’s breakdown: Linebacker
RETURNING (12)
Christian Miller, R-Sr.
Keith Holcombe, R-Sr.
Jamey Mosley, R-Sr.
Anfernee Jennings, R-Jr.
Joshua McMillon, R-Jr.
Mack Wilson, Jr.
Terrell Lewis, Jr.
Ben Davis, R-So.
Dylan Moses, So.
VanDarius Cowan, So.
Christopher Smith, So.
Markail Benton, R-Fr.
NEW ADDITIONS (5)
Eyabi Anoma
Jarez Parks
Jordan Davis
Cameron Latu
Jaylen Moody
OVERVIEW
A myriad of injuries at the linebacker position last season might have come as a blessing in disguise for Alabama. While the Crimson Tide will need to find replacements for departing starters in Rashaan Evans and Shaun Dion Hamilton, it has several capable and experienced options ready to step in.
A pair of former five-stars in Mack Wilson and Dylan Moses are the most likely to replace Evans and Hamilton in the middle. Wilson broke his foot against LSU last season, the same game that saw Hamilton suffer a season-ending knee injury. Moses filled in at Mike linebacker in both players’ absence before Wilson returned in time to start both of Alabama’s playoff games.
Alabama will also have all its outside linebackers back to full strength. Last season, Terrell Lewis and Christian Miller missed most of the regular season after sustaining serious injuries in the opening game against Florida State. Anfernee Jennings was also injured in the opener, causing him to miss the next two weeks. He then injured his knee in the Sugar Bowl, forcing him to miss the national championship game. All three outside linebackers will be back next season, providing Alabama with a dangerous pass rush.
Five-star freshman Eyabi Anoma, who is built in the same mold as Lewis and former Alabama pass rusher Tim Williams, should add to that attack. Sophomores VanDarius Cowan and Christopher Smith are also poised for breakout seasons.
Alabama has a rich history of producing elite linebackers including three Butkus award winners during Nick Saban's tenure in Tuscaloosa. Those players include Rolando McClain, C.J. Mosley and Reuben Foster. Alabama had a small linebacker class in 2018 with Eyabi Anoma, five-star from St. Francis in Baltimore and Jaylen Moody, two-star from Conway High School in South Carolina. Anoma is recruited as an outside linebacker and Moody is set to play inside.
The number of linebacker recruits in 2019 will definitely increase. Alabama has an early commitment from King Mwikuta, Rivals100 linebacker from Troup County High School in LaGrange, Georgia. Former Alabama All-American, Reuben Foster, played for Troup County from his freshman to junior year before transferring to Auburn High School. Alabama expects to add at least three more linebackers, possibly four to the mix.

Christian Harris, three-star linebacker from University Lab School in Baton Rouge, is very high on the Tide's wish list. Harris plays wide receiver and safety for his high school team. Most schools are recruiting the 6-foot1.5, 225-pound athlete at linebacker. Harris named Alabama as his favorite after visiting Tuscaloosa for Junior Day last weekend. He recently added new offers from Florida, Georgia and LSU.
Nolan Smith, Rivals100 defensive end from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, also attended Alabama's Junior Day last weekend. Smith has visited Alabama a few times since his early commitment to Georgia. He is recruited as an outside/Jack linebacker. Smith is strength considering the Crimson Tide.

The Crimson Tide recently offered Lavonta Bentley, four-star linebacker from Jackson-Olin High School in Bessemer, Alabama and Kane Patterson, four-star linebacker from Christ Presbyterian in Nashville. Alabama is currently on the outside looking in for Owen Pappoe, Rivals100 linebacker from Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia. Pappoe expects to return to Tuscaloosa this spring.
Alabama will likely sign a junior college linebacker. The early favorite to land in the class is Lakia Henry from Dodge City Community College in Kansas. The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder is considered as one of the best junior college players in the country.
Alabama has some early great options at the position. This is an important position especially for depth and talent at all the linebacker positions

Some Christian Harris tidbits from an "insider" on BOL:
As well all know LSU offered yesterday. Apparently their offer is as an "offensive athlete," not on the defensive side of the ball. fricking Orgeron.
Now for the "insider" speak:
Someone asked for clarification on this and this was his reply:
You all know my stance on "insiders" so, as always, TIFWIW.

Although he is a silent commit. The lsu offer wont matter much but watch out for UGA if he delay going public by Sunday
