re: Class of 2019 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: That's a Wrap Edition

He didn't have that issue last year before he was injured, this year he was the signal caller and that slowed him down significantly. Signal Calling is a tremendous extra load on the linebacker than can really slow down their ability to process the play until they are comfortable.

Rip Coach O and that wannabe insider

Man i clicked on the first link. Man complete trash. You are right the mocks have him going high but if he was going that high and he knew it he would be leaving. Not only that they have Harris being taken in the first over Jacobs. If we in this thread have said that he has played bad wait until they pick him apart.

27. Oakland Raiders (from Bears)

Mack Wilson, ILB, Alabama

"Yes, in this mock, the Silver and Back go three-for-three with Crimson Tide players to address every level of their defense. With LSU's White off the board, Wilson (6-2, 236 pounds) is the next best prospect at the position. He has more of C.J. Mosley and Dont’a Hightower in him than Rolando McClain, Reggie Ragland and Reuben Foster in him, on and off the field."

Like what the hell does that even mean? This tells me this dude isnt watching our games.

Wasn't Ika at the Opening? If so, I saw his film from there and he was very impressive. Yeah he is a big guy but he was definitely not slow. Powerful as well.


Annndd, I just scrolled back to the previous page and apparently this exact same sentiment was shared.

Look all i said is the guy looked to me like he had some bad weight. Some folks got real prickly real fast.

Steve Wiltfong CB'd Sopsher to Bama

yeah seems to be a lot of stress in here !! Also I wouldn’t melt to much if we did lose out on dean because Henry to’o on film looks better to me also dean seems like SDH a little undersized but a great football player

I agree. I think he was a step slow because he was thinking too much. I hope he comes back next year and blows it out of the water.

It seems to me, both of you are being a little extreme with your arguments about Bama's recruitment of Ika.

Bama has recruited him. He visited last Feb and for A-Day weekend. His parents also came all the way from Tonga and visited Bama with him. Iirc, that was on a 3rd visit in the summer, but his 247 timeline doesn't show that. Maybe his parents came with him in April, but it's pretty common for some visits to not get recorded on 247 recruit page timelines.

From what I've seen Bama recruited Ika enough to become his favorite, but I never saw anything definite that Bama pushed for a commitment. Given that he never committed to his favorite, I assumed he didn't have a green light to do so.

I've posted before that I don't think he'd be a take unless Bama missed on Sopsher and that Bama had concetns about his bad weight and wanted him to lose it. It appears to me Bama has not been recruiting Ika very hard this fall. So, I'm not even sure he'd be a take if Sopsher was already committed elsewhere.

Now, it's being reported that Bama staff has not been visiting him in Dec and has not yet set up an OV for him for this weekend as was expected.

Today Hank and a Utah mod switched their CBs to foggy, Angulo (mountain region mod) CBd him to LSU, and Wiltfong & Lucky CBd him to Oregon. So, it's looking like he gone.

The OSU Insider just put in a CB for Thibodeaux. Anyone know if it's for Bama?

Indeed it is.
