giving Walker Jones a gray shirt.


I was under the assumption that of he doesnt get a Commitable offer from Bama he will sign elsewhere (State, Ole Miss, Arky, or Vandy)

The new 25 rule on signees really makes thing more difficult in terms of grey shirting.


I understand where you are coming from, but he would be the first of 4 men that went elsewhere than Alabama... It just would not make any sense and Harrison took a gray shirt, so IDK what makes Walker who is a 3 star recruit much different... He will sign with us.

While he still could sign elsewhere, I'm betting on him picking Bama all Barrett has to do is ask, they are very close, much closer than he and Harrison, fam knows the process and how GS works out almost always for the better, saying that he still could pick Miss St, that would be where he goes if not Bama

Our finish as I see today:

Demarcus Walker
Gilmore
Antonio Conner
Johnathan Cook
Josh McNeil
Derrick Henry
Tunsil
WJ (GS)



ETA: 19020

ETA #2: And a Happy Father's Day to all the Bama brothas

It was HUGE that 2 things happened:

1. Snoop Brassell disqualified
2. The Miss St camp invited those kids and for the 1st time the "USP Ole Miss Lock Curse" was broken

So we owe you a great deal of gratitude

Gilmore? I thought he was all LSU?
No Matthew Thomas?
Hard time seeing us take Cook right now even tho I like him, saw him play my high school when we played Spanish Fort.
Tunsil??? Please show me the light Bucc. :fap:

Let me also qualify a few of these commits and let ppl know how I think this will play out (although judging from very recent past, anything could happen)

D. Walker - Done Deal

Greg Gilmore - Had a great time this weekend, mom is a big factor in this and wants him at Bama, it was a dream come true for him this weekend he loved it and he fits scheme wise as a DE, took a lead with him this weekend

Tony Conner - Staffs top S love his skill set and we are leading ATM and I think we will land him

Johnathan Cook - More than proved his offer and will be getting it soon, staff is clearing up some loose ends and when he gets it he will commit, will likely be an EE

Josh McNeil - HEAVY Lead at this point and he decides soon and is still a big take for the staff

Derrick Henry - expect him to take a few more visits and then commit to Bama some time late July early August

Laremy Tunsil - Right now staff is hearing with adding Henry soon and a very recent trip making a HUGE impact on Tunsil we are a big time player now and he is obviously the top OT on the board, it will be a battle but I LOVE Bama's chances from what I've recently heard

I explained WJ earlier

There are a few guys missing like Matthew Thomas and Robert Foster, on Thomas we had a pretty significant lead but the staff backed off for one reason or another, if we lose Reuben Foster (BIG If) we will likely turn our attention his or McGee LB out of Ga's way. On Foster I'm cautiously optimistic, but nit enough to add him on, I think there is a very high chance that Deon Johnson doesn't qualify, and also Falkins may end up at a smaller school, but that is just my guess, we lead ATM for Robert and he is a take with DJ's bleak grade situation, but I still think the pull might be too hard for him to leave Pa, would LOVE to be wrong on that one.

Uh, no.

ETA: Tunsil just brought Momma, his siblings, his HS HC and QB to Athens on thursday and left late yesterday afternoon. Momma said that UGA is where she wants her son going. Tunsil gave the visit a 10. UGA is the clear leader right now

Appreciate it. Plus State got 4* OL Deon Mix.

FWIW the OM rivals guy said Ole Miss is now #3 on Connors list behind Bama and State. Those delusion OM fans thought they were going to get Nkemdiche, Connor, Kailo Moore and other 4 star recruits coming off a 2-10 season. Now with things starting to crumble they are panicking.

Read above lol was typing it

One thing to understand when we put out lists now is how few spots are left Cajun, we will easily take 2 DL like Gilmore and Walker before adding M. Thomas for depth purposes, just like adding Henry as an ATH is a take over say Robert Foster. There are only 7 spots (8 with DJ not qualifying)

You may be right on this and I for one am certainly not optimistic on getting Tunsil, but the next time im in Georgia I will let you know so I can get whatever you're smokin and drinkin because you are the biggest god damn homer on this entire board besides delusional Aubs and LSU fans. I like you but holy shite are you on some good shite.

I think I'm going out of my mind Durden is homerin it up this morning and Bundy is actually being a level headed clear thinker about all this (you seem much more concise with your thoughts when it involves bashing Ole Miss )

But I've heard the same on Conner and a little worried about St adding Deon Mix and having Mo, he will clearly have an earlier chance at PT, if Mullen plays this one the right way it could be a fierce duel for him Bundy

What you are about to see is Bama reach in and snatch him away from UGA and UF

Eh you are unique, you have better personality than them. The homerism is close tho. I know some people on here get homeristic, but I am not sold on a lot. I was not sold on Nkemdiche, but I still dont think its over, not saying Alabama will sign him. Im just waiting for all of these good recruiting teams that recruit well in the off season and act like that last year's season was a fluke to get beat into submission so we can snag the recruits that are rightfully ours based on putting guys in the NFL and winning lol. Also I for one am getting annoyed with how fricking long it is taking Miami to get slammed. Like WTF is taking so long.

I really never got the impression that Henry and Tunsil are all that close other than playing relatively near one another. Henry occasionally mentioned him, but i don't recall Tunsil mentioning Henry much.

If Genron is indeed heavily connected to Tunsil, then anything is possible, but at least Bama doesn't have a father to "reach out to" with this recruit.

Would it make you feel better if I told you who show us interest but I guarantee we will not land?

Nkemdiche
Vonn Bell
Josh McNeil
Alvin Bailey
Matthew Thomas
Hargreaves
Demarcus Robinson
Larenz Bryant
