Here's more on him. He's class of 2014. Michigan made an offer to him. Rivals has him as a 4 star RB.


Snicker, snicker.

He told Tidesports.com after Northridge beat Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa 23-15 and plans to tell Alabama’s coaches at Saturday’s game against Western Kentucky.

Scarbrough is a junior and is 6-foot-2 and 218 pounds. He is rated the No. 2 prospect in Alabama by 247sports.com.

Northridge is 2-0. Scarbrough picked up 214 yards on 37 carries with three touchdowns in a 40-30 season-opening win over Bob Jones. On Friday, he rushed for 164 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries...

Another article: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1326715-alabama-football-tide-score-monster-2014-commitment

Quote
Scarbrough, who is rated as the nation’s top athlete and the 12th-best player in the country by 247 Sports, selected the Crimson Tide over Georgia, Clemson and Florida amongst others.

The 6’2”, 220-pound Scarbrough is capable of lining up at running back or wide receiver, but most observers expect him to become the next star in a strong stable of backs on the Crimson Tide roster...

Alabama picked up its first commitment of the 2014 recruiting class on Friday night when Northridge junior running back Bo Scarbrough committed to the Crimson Tide, according to a report from The Crimson White.

“It’s been on my mind since day one and I was trying to hold out until my 12th grade year, but I couldn’t hold it anymore,” Scarbrough told the Crimson White. “I just want to say “Roll Tide.”

Scarbrough told reporters at the game that the chance to play alongside other elite players at Alabama was a major factor in his decision.

Welcome aboard Bo!! Maybe you will develop into the caliber of player that the other Bo was when he played college football.  #+

This young man has all the tools to be a great player, he just needs to keep improving.

Bye Bye Ruben. ;)

Genetics is definitely Bo's friend.

This is a fantastic way to start off our 2014 class.  I have a feeling by the end of the season, we'll have another 6-7 four and five star names on the list.

... and by that time Bo will be a 5-star recruit on all the recruiting sites.  :D

He's a junior, cut him some slack. You can't tell from just 1 pic on his mechanics. Could be trying to get his balance, you never know. I do know this: I'll take him!

Actually, I watched the entire video first.  He could work on mechanics.
But I concede that your point is correct.  He has plenty of time to improve (and will).  Thanks for pointing that out.

I do wonder if Bo's decsision was swayed by him seeing Nick Saban being willing to let a true freshman talent (TJ) come in and shoot up the depth chart.  It is also not just Yeldon, but the number of true freshmen who are on the 2-deep rotation ahead of returning players.  I think that is a huge statement to major talent that it really is not about seniority at the Capstone, but about talent, dedication, willingness to learn, and hard work.  Had Yeldon not worked his tail off to learn the offense (especially blocking and pass catching) I don't believe he would have been ahead of Fowler or Hart.  I think Yeldon's performance against Michigan and the rest of this year is going to pay dividends with recruits.

WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM, BO! It's gonna be a fun ride!

Sure didn't hurt, but I get the impression that it was Bama all along for Bo. You're right, though, that had to be icing on the cake.

Did you see his quote in the article?  Indeed, he referenced Yeldon.
