The guy is a five star, the staff wants him, and this video has him scoring a TD every play for the first 6 minutes I believe. I'll give him a shot


I've seen his highlights, and there's no denying that he's an unbelievable talent. I've also watched his entire game footage against Buford. First off, I'm aware that Buford is a higher classification and much better team than Yulee from top to bottom. His performance still highlighted a few things that make me question whether or not RB is his best position. But I absolutely agree with giving him a shot at RB should he sign with Bama.

I didn't mean so much a shot at RB as a shot to be a good football player for us. But he deserves a UA offer IMO.

Oh I agree. I'll be thrilled if he's a part of our class.

No worries AT. Buccs flew down on UA1 to help him talk with his coaches and family then write the statement. Prior to leaving Buccs asked him to hold off on the statement until he got back so he could break the news here first. Something about not being able to keep connectivity on his i-phone at 27,000 feet.

My response was really towards Don and people that are wondering if we should take the kid, not you. Sorry...

Just watched Thomas's also. Both are badasses. Have not heard much lately but then again camp and the recent commits have been stealing the headlines lately.
My gut Walker is a lock. Thomas will be a battle, to the finish.

We have had the Henry discussion before, and I was once on the do not want side. Cant say I blame Don, but considering we may go full class and even 26, Henry just has to much to ability to not try and take.

yeah... I wouldn't mind them both.... it is still so early though. It's funny to go back to the beginning of this thread and look at who every was wanting and predicting. We got some few of them, but alot have popped up out of no where sense then or gone elsewhere.

I.E. Never know when Saban might find the next guy he wants more or whatever.

ETA - for example: the first page mentions

DT Robert Nkemdiche

QB Johnathon McCrary

RB Kelvin Taylor

DT Montravius Adams

LB Cameron Toney

as must gets

For all we know, the final choice of RB vs HB for DH may come down to how much he likes to eat. Most of the Rb's in T-town have some pretty strict weight management control put on them. At 6'-2" I would guess his weight target will stay in the low to mid 230's. If he wants to eat more junk food then he would likely end up at HB.

Hey, it is as good of a theory as any.

He's just so tall along with not projecting easily to another position, I think is the biggest problem.

And this is what I think over rules the above statement.

I wanted him at Bama so bad, his recruitment is what brought me to TD in the first place.

He ended up kinda having a meh career at LSU.
