Nothing wrong with being helpful. I just assumed you didnt know he had about 15,000 post under his belt on Woolly... we're all on the same team!

Loing Foster would hurt but we always seem to be loaded at LB and no concerns there. Not saying we have anyone at his ability coming in but it will not be as big as not landing RN imo. UA has never recruiting a DL at his level under Saban and he would be a huge impact for us, moreso than Foster. Again just my opinion.

Would love to have them both, but the sun will rise on the 1st thursday in february if we get neither. RN is very full of himself. Arthur Brown, Fred Rouse, Bryce Brown, Willie Williams, Marvin Austin, Daquan Bowers are all names he should research. These kids just think they are taking a 3 year pit stop and coasting into a top 10 draft pick, it doesn't work that way

If I were a betting man I'd say that RN will not be drafted as high as marcel dareus was. I will put my bank account and stocks on that
Not to mention there may be guys on campus as good or better, Pagan and Fanning to name 2 with unlimited potential. I know RN is a beast and has all the measurables, but that doesn't always translate to saturdays

WTF? I don't remember seeing Upshaw "roaming" very often.

I think Nkemdiche is trolling a lot of people... I think we are his favorite by a long way and he knows he can come to Bama as a Jack or DE.

The kid is going to end up at DE for bama or UGA and DT for the rest of them. He will occasionally drop into coverage at bama just like upshaw, and even marcel dareus did...but look how much that hurt dareus

I remember MD running downfield with Luke Stocker late in the '09 Tennessee game. He had good coverage too but got beat by a great pass.

The University of Alabama’s first summer prospect camp began on Sunday and will run through Wednesday. The Crimson Tide coaching staff is expected to host an elite group of prospects, coming in from all over the country. Here are five recruits to watch as the camp unfolds.

Tom Hauck for ESPN.com
Laremy Tunsil isn't the only big recruit in Tuscaloosa this week.Cornerback Brendan Langley
Although it’s still a fluid situation, Alabama is currently the leader for Langley. Getting him on campus for the first prospect camp can only help the Crimson Tide’s chances of securing a commitment from the ESPN 150 cornerback. On Saturday, Langley competed in a 7-on-7 tournament at Central Gwinnett High School, and he helped lead Kell High School to the title with 10 touchdowns and a number of interceptions. That didn’t stop the Georgia native from still making the trip to Tuscaloosa where he plans to compete in the camp on Monday. Langley should be one of the top players in attendance, and if everything goes well, there’s a chance he could leave town committed to Alabama.
Athlete Kendell Beckwith
Five-star offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil may be the top recruit in town this week, but the highest ranked player expected to work out is Beckwith. The ESPN 150 star has nothing to prove at the camp, but he’s still planning to compete just like everybody else. It will be interesting to see where all the UA coaching staff lines him up at. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound athlete has been mentioned as a possibility at the Jack linebacker spot, but with the recent addition of Jonathan Allen, the Tide may move Beckwith around this week and see where else he can play. The Louisiana native still has the same top two of Alabama and LSU, but no decision is imminent at this point.
Quarterback Parker McLeod
All of the talk coming into this camp was centered around the quarterback position and who Alabama would take. That has died down some since ESPN 150 signal caller Cooper Bateman committed to the Tide last month. Bateman still made the trip and expects to throw at the camp this week, but the question now is who will UA take as the second quarterback in this class. Alabama offered McLeod a week before the camp, but head coach Nick Saban wants to see him throw at the camp first before taking a commitment. If everything goes well, and he’s able to impress Saban, McLeod could become the next member of the 2013 class before he leaves town. Another option is Riley Ferguson who is also expected to throw at the camp on Monday.
Wide Receiver James Cox
The Alabama coaching staff is very familiar with Cox. He goes to high school in their backyard. Although the local wide receiver has seen his recruitment start to take off this spring, he hasn’t received that coveted offer from the Crimson Tide yet. Cox is hoping he can earn that offer this week with a strong performance at Alabama’s camp. Offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier was impressed with what he saw from Cox at the Northridge High School spring game last month, and the UA assistant was eager to get him to camp. If Cox receives an offer, expect a quick decision from the Tuscaloosa native. That could also help the Tide’s chances with Cox’s teammate, 2014 star Bo Scarbrough, who will also be working out this week.
Athlete Leroy Clark
Clark is one of over a dozen recruits who made the trip from Miami to Tuscaloosa to compete in Alabama’s camp this week. He may be the most talented of the bunch, but he’s still looking for that elusive offer from the Crimson Tide. The 5-foot-10, 170-pound cornerback already holds offers from major powers like Florida and Oklahoma, but the fact that he made the trip shows he’s serious about Alabama. There’s no doubt he will have to leave quite the impression with Saban if he wants to walk away with an offer as a cornerback. Other prospects in the group that came up from Miami include cornerback Lamar Robbins, running back Lorenzo Woodley and 2014 wide receiver Jacob McCrary.

From TI:
A few camp tidbits... TI 2012-06-04 10:46:58
--CB Brendan Langley (6-0, 180) of Marietta-Kell in town yesterday and leaving today. Langley, who says Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina are his three favs, texted TI that he had a "FANTASTIC!!" time.
--'14 safety Laurence Jones of Monroe-Neville, LA might be the #1 player in his state next season. Jones arrived on campus yesterday and is staying until Wednesday.
--TE Josh McNeil (6-5, 240) of Durham-Hillside, NC started tweeting early yesterday that he was having a great time on his Tuscaloosa visit. McNeil denied reports that he committed to UA during the visit. He recently named UA his favorite over the likes of Cal, Florida, Georgia and Miami, among others. Given the Tide's need for a "big" tight end, McNeil would seem to be a top target. Even though McNeil says he's known more as a "receiving" tight end, he has the frame to get much bigger that would help him develop a presence inside. McNeil told TI that he'll be at Georgia today.
--McNeil's outstanding junior teammate, WR Trevion Thompson, was also in Tuscaloosa on Sunday. Thompson told TI that he had a good time at Bama. The 6-3, 179-pounder is expected to be a highly recruited prospect for the class of 2014.
--14 OT Orlando Brown of Duluth-Peachtree Ridge, GA already has offers from across the country Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, FSU, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State... Brown, who stayed over last night in Tuscaloosa, texted TI that he had a "very good" visit.

Regarding Burms, we didn't try to keep him......he's got a "bad environment" around him.
