Hank South of BamaOnline just put in a CB for Sopsher to Alabama.

But, I thought y'all didn't want him

Half joking, but there was some talk of him being a bit down your board during summer camp season.

Some people thought DeMarvin Leal and maybe Nathan Pickering too might've been higher on the board, but that was speculation and those two are now solid commits to ATM and MSU. I think Ish has been a definite take all along.

Is Alabama going to take his brother? If LSU can get Ika and/or Pickering I am all for letting sopsher walk if it requires taking his brother too

Absolutely 0 chance they take his brother with the targets they still have on board

The kid can go wherever he wants. If he doesn't truly want to come here, then so be it.

I'm sure another guy would gladly take his spot. Not shortage of talented giants out there.

No doubt in my mind their dad is working with Bama behind the scenes to see what they can do for Rodney. I doubt Bama offers a scholarship, but they are definitely seeing what they can squeeze out.

They might as a walk-on, but I doubt they'll offer him a scholarship. 247Sports doesn't show any scholarship offers for Rodney Jr. other than LSU, not even from G5 or FCS schools.

You're not getting Ish then.

I think right now Sospher is Bama's to lose but Ishmael is all about is brother Rodney. He's going wherever Rodney goes. Maybe there's some chance that he does but I guarantee you if it comes down to A&M and LSU offering Rodney and Ish and Bama only offering Ish then he's going to A&M or LSU.

I think there is zero chance, Alabama offers Rodney a 2019 scholarship. I'm sure they'll try to figure something else out to make it work. Whether the Sopshers go for it is another matter, but I wouldn't say they definitely have to offer Rodney to get Ish.

Then you haven’t met that family.

If anyone can pull it off it’s saban but they’re a package deal. This isn’t a same teammate situation. Its a Nkemdiche situation.

oh, I definitely have not met that family.

I just can't see Alabama offering Rodney.

And I can't see Alabama not being in the picture to somehow get them.

I’d bet my paycheck that those 2 end up on the same team. The thing is- no major team is taking Rodney without Ishmael. If Ish goes to Bama then Rodney’s offer to LSU, A&M and any other big boy disappears. Their dad knows that.

Not saying they can’t do it but these 2 are super close. I’ll be fricking shocked if someone lands Ishmael without Rodney.

I'm not arguing that. And I'm not saying they won't both end up at Alabama, I'm just saying that they might both end up at Alabama without Rodney getting a 2019 scholarship.

Maybe if they pull some Rec shite or give him an alternate way to pay for his schooling but that Family ain’t gonna pay. They’re gonna want a free ride for both. Garunteed.

This is more along the lines of what I'm getting at.

There might be a non-athletic scholarship that Rodney Jr. can get.
