Just wanted to share this gem from the LSU board. Too funny not too IMO
quote:
Offensively, Burrow is a nightmare scenario for Saban to prepare for defensively. He’s almost the exact QB you’d build to beat the Bama offense. He’s smart, tough, confident, accurate and makes few mistakes... And most important of all, he can tuck it and run effectively. If he only had a little more speed, but it’s good enough speed when you account for his intelligence and toughness to break the pocket and convert 3rd downs with his legs. He’s like Jordan Jefferson and Jarret Lee’s best attributes combined.

He doesn't have a damn clue what that dude is dealing with in that injury. And lmao at Waddle being averaged sized but Ruggs being below average.
He also doesn't have a clue about our other receivers. They're not all small. Shavers is the tallest receiver ever to play at Alabama.

I watched that Georgia game. That dude sucks arse. If UGA couldve caught those gifts they would've won. He threw at least three balls that should've been picked off.

I think LSU is a good team so I don't care that they are feeling good about their team but cmon, Burrow is Saban's defensive nightmare? He's a pocket passer lol.

I do not believe in taking teams for granted. LSU has a very good team and is battle tested. Burrow is a smart boy that makes excellent decisions and audibles at the line of scrimmage. They are also a team that depends on playing backwards. They love to throw on first down and will risk the four down conversion to keep there defense on the sideline for more rest much like Tubercille would coach when he was at Auburn. Being in Baton Rouge and and there defense being a top tier defense, it will be a very tough game,

Lsu will be a tough game period, I hope we do blow them out of course but we won't blow out everyone, this is a common theme in sports

2020 5-star DE Chris Braswell will be in Tuscaloosa for the Iron Bowl. He's the kid from the same high school as Eyabi Anoma, Shane Lee and Darrian Dalcourt.

NON-VIP 247 Sports Article *** High School freshman edge rusher Jeremiah Alexander blowing up *** NON-VIP 247 Sports Article
Again, this is a NON-VIP article from 247 Sports in case anyone feels the need to be a little bitch.
quote:
ALABASTER, Ala. -- The Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson Warriors are one of the top prep programs in the state of Alabama, playing in the state's highest classification, with college football prospects littered on the roster from All-American quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa through young prospects like sophomore wide receiver Tre Roberson already armed with Power 5 scholarship offers.
On Thursday, an even younger name needed to be added to the list in Jeremiah Alexander. Not only did the freshman edge rusher add his first Power 5 extension in the morning with the Florida Gators jumping in first, but he would add five total offers before the day was done, including three from the Southeastern Conference with LSU and Tennessee following Florida.
The class of 2022 standout, listed at 6-foot-2, 212 pounds, entered the day with a sole offer from in-state South Alabama to his name. Extensions from UAB and Jacksonville State rounded out the monster day.
"It feels great, it's a blessing," he told 247Sports. "All of the offers surprised me..."
Former NFL player and Arkansas Razorback Wes Murphy, who coaches the defensive line at Thompson High, has long been high on Alexander despite his youth.
"When you see the kid, you see his physique, his frame...he's got muscles on top of muscles," he said with a laugh. "You see him as a freshman and wonder how the kid is build like this. But then you get the kid in the weight room and he's a work horse who wants to out-work everybody. He wants to be stronger than anybody. He will stay after practice working on hands, working on pass-rush.
"His desire and hunger is just so much different than a lot of other kids I've been around."
On the field this year, Alexander has made big plays off the edge as a pass-rusher for the Warriors.
"It's explosiveness," Murphy said. "His contact speed doesn't change. A lot of times you see freshmen, especially freshmen playing varsity, they stop on contact. He explodes through contact, his first step is tremendous, it's amazing to watch. It's kind of freaky to me because he's still got tons of room to grow. He hasn't even scratched his potential.
"He's athletic enough to play outside 'backer...he's got long arms and big hands just like his dad and wears a size 14 shoe. He's pushing 6-foot-3 as a freshman so when you look at his back-side, shoulders and legs, you can tell he will get so much bigger."
Off of the field, per Murphy, Alexander checks even more boxes on the path to making it easy for blue-blood college football coaching staffs to offer so early on.
"Another thing that separates him is his character," he said. "He has an outstanding home life. Mom and dad at home, Christian family, high-moral, high-character people and great citizens in the community. He's got everything he needs to be successful at home and off the field, too."
Should he progress like many in the business feel he will, the class of 2022 emerger could be the next big thing from Alabama to college football and possibly beyond.
"With the athleticism and work ethic that he has, he's going to be one of those freaks where he'll stand up, he'll drop (into coverage), he'll put his hand down," Murphy said. "He reminds me of a Khalil Mack or Von Miller, seriously, but he's going to be the size of a Myles Garrett."
Thompson High is 6-1 with a showdown against undefeated Birmingham (Ala.) Mountain Brook High on Friday night.
Again, this is a NON-VIP article from 247 Sports in case anyone feels the need to be a little bitch.

Weekend Visit Preview: Where the biggest visits are happening - Rivals

The Utah Utes have just seven commitments in this 2019 class, but could kickstart a stretch recruiting run with some big official visitors headed to Salt Lake City this weekend. That leads off our look at the top recruiting visit destinations in college football this weekend.

CLEMSON
There are no official visitors expected at Clemson’s undefeated match-up against NC State on Saturday, but the list of prospects who will be unofficial visitors is a long and distinguished one, headlined by the No. 1-ranked prospect in the 2020 class, California quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei. No team has recruited the quarterback position like Clemson has in recent years. A few of those top signings have since transferred, but that only opens the door for Dabo Swinney and Co. to attract more top talent, such as Uiagalelei.
There should also be five-star representation from the 2019 class at Clemson this weekend. Quavaris Crouch has an official visit planned to Clemson for the Nov. 16 weekend, but could get an unofficial preview this upcoming weekend. Five-star offensive center Clay Webb is more of a sure thing to make Saturday’s game. Webb has yet to start taking official visits, but has made several unofficial visits to his top schools this fall.
The visit of Webb underscores an important recruiting question Clemson fans hope to get answered in the final months of the 2019 class, and that is offensive line recruiting. The Tigers have had some one-off successes at the position, signing prospects such as five-star Jackson Carman in 2018, but they are having trouble attracting numbers at the position and have just one offensive lineman currently committed for 2019.

Nebraska
The inaugural season of the Scott Frost era in Lincoln has not started like Nebraska fans would have hoped, but there is a silver lining here and that is recruiting prospects are seeing that there is opportunity to come in and contribute early for the Cornhuskers. With Minnesota coming to town in a showdown of young, energetic Big Ten coaches, Nebraska has lined up an impressive group of visitors to see those opportunities first-hand.
The highest-ranked of five official visitors headed to Lincoln for the weekend is Phoenix-area four-star Noa Pola-Gates, for whom Nebraska will be the second Big Ten official visit in the last four weeks. What’s interesting about the group of Nebraska official visitors is they will be coming in from Arizona, Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia and Washington, which attests to the Cornhuskers’ need to be a national recruiting team. With few major talent centers located within comfortable driving distance, the number of unofficial visitors will not be extensive, but a big name on that list is class of 2020 Rivals100 offensive tackle Turner Corcoran.

Texas Spotlight: Five prospects on the rise - Rivals

In-season evaluations are in full gear for high schools. It doesn't matter if the player is committed or not. Everybody is getting a fresh look. Here are some players from Texas that have improved their stock.

DeMarvin Leal
Leal has the kind of physical gifts that aren’t easy for college coaches to find, and he’s been putting them to good use this fall. The 6-foot-7, 270-pound defensive end was in high demand among many top programs before he decided to commit to Texas A&M in the spring. It’s easy to see why the Aggies made him such a priority. What makes Leal special from a rankings perspective is his potential, which appears sky high if he continues to develop.
