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

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.
