That's great news!

This part is important, too:

Quote
Barnett's family is equally excited.

"There is nothing that even comes close to it,” Lance Barnett, Blake's father said.

“Alabama is one of those schools, when you visit, I didn’t know much about it, obviously you know about the National Championships and Nick Saban is a great coach, but when you see it you totally understand it. My wife is even keel about things and she was blown away by it.

Yeah, this shouldn't end up like the Ricky Town situation since Kiffin is the one who recruited him.

He is a dual threat QB. He gained 700 yards rushing last year.

If his coach is telling the truth, this young man has a lot of abilities and character. I see where Oregon was after him and that tells me he must be very agile with his feet. I also like the fact that he will enroll in January.

We've been disappointed many times with recruit commitments, hopefully this one will stick.

Interesting how Bama keeps recruiting dual-threat QBs.  Still waiting for one to stick.  This could be the guy.   ???

Welcome to Bama Mr. Blake.  You have made a wise decision.  Now all you have to do is not change your mind and be prepared to work hard.  If you do that, lots of good things will happen for you and your future Bama teammates.

This is grrrreat news.  I'm like many of you guys, I'll temper my excitement until Fax Cam Girl posts the LOI, or until he walks into a classroom in Jan.

RTR !!!

He looked real good at his latest 7 on 7 in Cali. Nice touch on the short ones and very accurate on the intermediate and long ones. Think we have a winner in this kid.  :popcorn2:
