Anybody getting ready to commit to Bama?

There are definitely a few who are on the verge of pulling the trigger. Cooper Bateman is expected to announce in June. Henry Poggi could decide very soon. DeMarcus Walker has decided to push his commitment back to August

Is Altee Tenpenny close to 100% again?

He is running and cutting right now. He is just working on that burst off of his cuts. That's the main thing.

Do you think we lead for Cooper Bateman?

I think it's a very good sign he is visiting Bama with his entire family in early June

Do you think we have a legitimate chance to land DL M.Adams?

No I think Alabama is on the outside looking in

I do not follow recruiting much.Who are some targets for Bama?

QB- Cooper Batman, RB/ATH-Alvin Kamara, WR-Robert Foster, OL-Austin Golson, Tyrone Crowder, TE-Josh McNeil, DL- Robert Nkemdiche, DeMarcus Walker, Jonathan Allen, LB-Matthew Thomas, CB-Maurice Smith, S-Antonio Conner, Vonn Bell just to name a few prospects Alabama is recruiting.

If we get Bateman does that rule out Riley Furguson?

No it does not. I think Alabama will try to take 2 QBs in this class.

why did D Walker DE from Florida moved his commit date? Is that good or bad for Bama?

Alabama is definitely the team to beat right now. I think it will give UF a chance to swing him.

Do you think Ej Moss stays at Qb in College if he signs with us, and do you think Scarbourough stays at RB?

I am not sure right now where Moss will play in college. He is a very well put together prospect. Saw him a few weeks ago. It's definitely possible he will play another position. Scarborough in my opinion will remain at RB. I think most colleges are thinking the same.

when do you think Robert Nkemdiche is going to pull the trigger?

It looks like he will announce at the Under Armour game. That's my guess if he doesn't decide before the season.

do you think we have a shot at flipping Austin Golson?

Yes I do.

Can we pull Antonio Conner away from Ole Miss?

Very tough to do. However Alabama is definitely in the race

What do you think our chances are with vonn bell?

I think Alabama is in his top five. I don't expect a decision anytime soon. So we'll see. I expect Alabama will get an official visit from him.

Do you think Kenyan Drake stays at Rb once he gets here?

I do think that's where he will start his career

best chance tim williams or beckwith? percentage?

From everything I've heard Alabama has the best shot with Tim Williams

What are Bama's chances of getting Matthew Thomas?

If he leaves Miami I think he is Tuscaloosa bound.

If Bateman is our number one which of these do you think we are highest on- Buchanan , Ferguson or Laviano?

I think Alabama will decide who is No. 2 among that group at camp

are we on the outside with brandon langley?

Yes, Georgia is No. 1 followed by Alabama. Georgia has a substantial lead.

Where do we stand with Josh McNeil? Can we have both him and OJ as commits for TE this class?


McNeil has Alabama No. 1 on his list. Yes, it's very possible both end up in the class.


Does getting Tenpenny, T jones and maybe even a 3rd RB in this class hurt our chances with Scarbourough or Leonard Fournette?

I don't think it will hurt with Scarborough. It might with Fournette.

does Alabama have a real shot at Maurice Smith?

Yes, I'd say Alabama is the team to beat right now.

right now, what percentage would u give that cooper bateman picks bama?

Everyone knows I don't do percentages like others...I will say "very high"

Is Bosa solid to tOSU? And what happened after BAMA had a solid lead?

As of now he is solid. He took a few visits to Columbus in the past few months without traveling to Tuscaloosa. The Buckeyes were able to overtake Bama

What are you hearing about the 2014 rb from Oxford?

Racean Thomas is the real deal. I've seen him play in person, and he won MVP at my combine a few weeks ago. Alabama, IMO, is the early favorite for him

Any truth to the rumor that Bama is recruiting Fournette as a LB?

highly doubt it.

Who do you think will be next to commit to Bama and when?

I'll go out on a limb and guess Henry Poggi

Do we have a legit shot at Vernon Hargreaves or Mackensie Alexander?

Both have Alabama among their favorites. I just don't see either one in this class.

Any chance Bama's gets Robert Foster?

If they get him back down for an official visit I believe they will have a chance.

the new offer from the lb melvin jones. seems like a stud. do we like him better than walker jones? what are the chances?

I am not sure if the staff likes him better. They do like him a lot. He has a very high interest right now in the Tide. He plans to camp in June.

What CBs do yuo see as a possibility?

Maurice Smith, of course Brendan Langley has Bama No. 2 on his list. You never know if a player will earn an offer at camp.

auburn or us who gets dasin richardson def. tackle?

I think Bama has a great shot with him.

What are our chances of flipping Dee Liner?

Right now it's very slim.

Bama leads for Kamara?

Bama is in good shape for him. He will take some summer visits and then decide.

Ulric jones from oxford to barn?

No I don't believe so from things I have heard. He could end up out of state.

mcneil or hunter henry whos better? who would we take if we had the choice>?

I think long term McNeil is a better prospect just because he is an elite athlete. Henry is a much better blocking TE.

Trust me though Alabama is well aware of O.J.Howard and his continuous interest in Auburn.

did we miss out not pushing for earnest robinson? or are we lining up someone better?

He could not have committed to Alabama at the time of his commitment to Auburn.

What position will Poggi play? He's about 40 lbs away from being a starting defensive lineman at BAMA.

He's about 280-pounds right now. Very athletic. Bigger than both Dalvin Tomlinson and Korren Kirven when they signed with Alabama

If kamara commits do you see the safety from Georgia swapping his commit to bama sopposed to be a trio right?

It's something to definitely watch out for in the next few months. Now if the commits to UGA I still don't see Foster switching his commitment.

Who are Tyrone Crowders top schools,and what are the chances we get him?

Bama, UF, NC, Clemson. From people I have talked to in NC Alabama is in great shape.

who do you see that we have commited gaining an additional star later this season?

O.J. Howard

If Bama does take 2 QBs, do you see the 2nd being in the B. Sims mold?

No I don't.

Any JuCo prospects on Bama's radar,?

Alabama recently offered Juco OT Trenton Brown (6-8, 350) from Georgia Military. They have also offered WR Corey Smith from EMCC.

Do you think the P. Sims transfer hurts our QB recruiting?

i think it helps a lot more than it hurts

Is it 50-50 with Kendell Beckwith?

As of right now it is.

Whats the deal with BAMA and Carlos Burse? BAMA seems to have lost interest

They definitely seem interested in him. They want him to attend camp this summer.

Are their any recruits in the state that you see earning an offer after they attend Bama's summer camps?

A couple guys who plan to attend camp who don't have Alabama offers, but a lot of interest- Kamryn Melton (AU commitment) from Dothan, and Cameron Fraser, offensive tackle from Central Phenix City.

have you seen jason smith the ath. from mobile play? and is he a stud athlete? and what are the chances with him?

Yes, and Yes. He is an electric player. If he decides to play another position other than QB I think Alabama has a chance. He prefers playing QB and most schools are telling him they will start him at QB. I just don't see him playing that position in college. I think he is a potential NFL player in the future if he decides to play WR or CB.

Is it 50-50 with Tim Williams or are we a little ahead?

Bama is ahead from everything I have heard.

Jonathan Allen, still visiting soon? Will he commit afterwards?

He said he would visit in early May, but hasn't set a date. I am not sure when he will visit right now. It's still a Bama-UF battle. May wait until August to decide.

Riley Ferguson or Ryan Buchannon--Who do you like better?

I like both of those guys a lot. I have never seen either in person. I expect both to attend the same camp and coach Nuss will decide.

do we lead for gerald willis ? collins brother want to play together?

Willis told me at the Under Armour combine that his decision will be based heavily on where Landon goes to school. Alabama is definitely in his top two with LSU.

Tell me a little about Cooper Bateman and is he our top guy?

National 100 QB from Utah who will have a great chance to end up with five-stars next to his name when all is said and done. He along with his family are visiting Tuscaloosa in June. He visited last month. I expect Alabama to land his commitment.

2014 prospects. kelly, humphrey, or peppers. whos better? and who do we get?

Alabama is going to have a shot with all those guys. All are studs. I've only seen Humphrey in person.

2014's recruiting class has the potential to be epic for BAMA with Jones, Williams, Moss, Scarborough and Humphrey. Whats your opinion, better than 2008?

The state will be loaded next year. It's definitely going to compete with the 2008 class.

fournette or thomas from oxford, u can only take one, who do u want?

In Alabama's system I would take Fournette because of his size. However Alabama is going to get a guy like him in Scarborough. They want backs who can change it up so that's why Thomas is a top priority for them as well.

Is 2013 looking like a weaker class than we originally thought? Can it come close to 2008 like everyone thought at first?

If Robert Nkemdiche jumps on board, Alabama will have the top two recruits in the country. I don't think anyone will complain whether they are ranked No. 1 or No. 15.

Do we have a shot with Michael Hill?

I have absolutely no idea on him because he does not talk to the media. My guess is he will stay closer to home You just never know though especially with people who don't say anything.

What do you think about the DE hand 2014?

Absolute monster. He'll definitely rank as a five-star prospect. Alabama has offered. I am sure they will be a contender.

Walker Jones, when does he commit and will it be Bama?

He will probably commit sometime this summer Yes, it will be Alabama.

Bone, are we after a top returner, like a Javier Arenas?

Alvin Kamara, Jason Smith are those type of players.

How do you compare Collins and his brother as in impact players?

Physically, Gerald Willis is a very impressive prospect. He is a 6-foot-4, 240-pound DE. He looked great down in Orlando. If he continues to develop I think he is a future five-star recruit.

is ej moss a lock for us?

No not necessarily. He hasn't talked to the staff in a while. Other schools like Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State have shown him a lot of interest lately.

Racean Thomas named a leader yet?

Not officially, but Alabama is in his top three. I'd say they are the favorite right now after my recent interviews with him.

Is Saban up for the challenge of dealing with Nkemdiche's very large ego?

I've been around Nkemdiche and never got the sense he thinks he is better than anyone.

would poggi play oline or dline? who is our competition for him?

I think he has the ability to play on either side of the ball. I don't think the coaching staff has decided yet where he will play. I have heard the competition is Michigan and Tennessee.

can you name 3 other guys not commited that will be with Bama class?

Josh McNeil, Henry Poggi, Cooper Bateman are my three choices.

AB, what does Walker pushing his decision back mean for Alabama? (I was under the impression he was committing to us until this happened)

Definitely opens the doors for Florida. it's going to be an intense battle these next few months. He'll be back on campus this summer.

While neither have committed to BAMA, isn't Walker and Nkemdiche essentially the same type player at the same position?

Both have the ability to move around and play different positions. Alabama definitely wants both.

What's the deal with OJ and AU?

He visited AU a few times during the season and has returned the campus a few times in the past few months.

AB, What's the chances of us landing another big time safety in the class? Cravens is a tough pull, but aren't there others on the board?

Antonio Conner and Vonn Bell are Alabama's best shots.

If Bama manages to land Nkemdiche, Walker, Williams, Allen, Foster, and Thomas, would you have seen a better defensive group?

Not in quite a while.

Bone, not many people talk about Deon Johnson but too me he looks as good as anyone. Your thoughts?

Very explosive, electric athlete who doesn't get a lot of pub. IMO he is the best WR in the state. He has some work to do in the classroom is the only reason I have him ranked a little lower than some. If he can take care of business then I think he can become something special in Tuscaloosa.

If Bateman is in the class, do we take another QB? If so, which one? (My guess is the kid from Tennessee)

The staff will evaluate other QBs at camp. Ryan Buchanan from Miss, I think, would jump on an offer.












Goddamn I hate that chat format. All of you owe me a beer for formatting that shite.


J/K












But seriously.

In regards to Fournette and Scarborough, it really sucks that they are in the same class. I believe Alabama will land Scarborough and LSU will land Fournette, but it would be one hell of a recruiting battle for each if they weren't in the same class. fricking epic.















And I'm gonna hold you to that beer.

I hope he doesn't to be honest with you and I hope that if we get his commitment that the coaches are up front about it. I would kill to get Scarborough and Fournette, Rock Thomas too, but I think in the end that Bo being such as a badass will scare off any out of state RB in next years class.
