Bama's up to #2 nationally with 20 signees (OSU is #1 with 25).

·Mique Juarez, five-star LB from Cali (1:30 pm)

·Irvin Smith, TE from New Orleans (2:15 pm)

·Devin Asiasi, TE from Cali (2:20 pm)

Rumor:

"4* DE Terrell Hall commits to Alabama"

 :o :o :o

True dat. 
Only bad news among them is Juarez.  Rumors today that he's signing with UCLA.  But it's not done!!

This would be great. Is this verified Chechem? RTR!

Alabama 4-star defensive lineman Raekwon Davis signature is in (has academic issues to solve yet).

11:12: Alabama defensive line signee Raekwon Davis has signed with Jones County Junior College, likely in case he doesn't qualify academically for Alabama. It's apparently common for players who may not qualify to also sign with a junior college.

Being discussed on CBS Sports site, but not official.

He's aboard the 17 train;

Sweetest part:

"Hall de-committed from the Buckeyes last summer following an unofficial visit to Tuscaloosa. "

So the count now is at 23?

Brown to Auburn University...

Can't blame him for staying in state.  :lol2:

Brown to Auburn University CowTown...

 :lol: :lol:

Actually, he was expected to sign with UGA.  Bama never close on this one it seems.  UT was 3rd for him.

I was hoping Kirby would get him if we didn't.

FTFY

I hear you but... When he announced he said, "I'll be attending Auburn University."   I think he is in for a surprise...

I don't believe that there is a nickel's worth of difference between the top 5 recruiting class but seeing Bama at #1 in three of those sure is easy on the eyes...

Asiasi to Michigan.

The number 1 thing I count as a first place finish is to get our positions filled we needed and plus to steal some players other teams wanted the worst. I believe from what I see we did both. Congratulations to our coaching staff for such a great recruiting job and thank you Jesus for answering the prayers of those players who came to you with the word Alabama. RTR!

This video from Lyndell "Mack" Wilson is definitely worth taking 2 minutes to watch.  It makes me even more excited about the future.

"Where I come from, we don't have excuses.  We have discipline.  We don't run from a challenge.  We don't hide from adversity.  We get stronger."

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

IRVIN SMITH!!

He's aboard



:jump:

This is a player who Coach Saban WANTED.  See this thread: http://www.crimsonredsports.com/index.php?topic=40312.0

Hey bamaphile, our guys did a great job this year huh? I believe pulled in 3 5*'s is this right? RTR!

Yes, according to 247Sports and Scout.  Rivals has us with 5 5-stars.  I'm not sure about ESPN, because I don't have insider access there, but I read where somebody said that, according to ESPN, none of our recruits were 5-stars.  :o  That doesn't make any sense to me, though.

...

2-3 years ago we had 6 5*, this year ONLY 5.  SMDH   :)

You sign this late, you're a primma donna attention seeking whore, unless momma has inteferred with the fax.  Not sayin', just statin'.   

I had not read or heard much about Bama running back signee Joshua Jacobs until Coach Saban discussed him with the REC this afternoon. CNS spoke very highly of him and I felt like he thought Bama may have stolen one with his signing. I got home and had to know more about him so I found a video and watched. I am very impressed with what I saw on the video and I can understand why CNS feels he may have stolen one from Oklahoma. For those of you that haven't seen any video of him, take a look.

Mississippi State fan called Paul today seriously wondering why MSU couldn't recruit better players. Paul was somewhat mumble-mouthed with an answer. Sad because the caller was sincere.

Remains to be seen.  I'm a little, very little, impressed with that video.  What I see is a good runner taking snaps from the wildcat playing with a bunch of white boys from a tech school.

Sometimes, between comments about lost shoes and times gone by, you insert posts which a latent reader might think without obvious relevance.  To avoid this common error, drop the intervening phrase so that the subject-verb relationship is clear.

Now, are you referencing a particular "primma donna" [sic]?

We still could get WR Demitris Robinson, Apparently, he didn't qualify academically for Stanford.

 :popcorn2:

I know that Saban was very high on this kid and wanted him badly. That in itself tells me there's something to him.

Was this him?

(http://tokesignals.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/P_Rodney_Dangerfield_1.jpeg)

It all only reinforces that Saban simply does recruiting better than anyone else. Granted, some other services crowned different recruiting champions, but no program has ever had this kind of consistency.

"I think this class sort of reflects some of the needs that we have,” said Saban, who still has an open slot and would like to add another offensive playmaker or defensive end. “You don't get everything that you want all the time.”

But he comes the closest, and has compiled what might be the most loaded college football team in terms of talent that anyone has ever seen.

Alabama had a whopping 18 5-star players in 2015, but only two of them have since departed, running back Derrick Henry and defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson. It already had developing 5-star players ready to compete for those spots, and many of its recent major award winners came in as 4-star prospects (including Mark Ingram, Amari Cooper, AJ McCarron, Barrett Jones and C.J. Mosley).

Hells bells, neither would anybody on this forum!!   :dunno:

I think  Hannibal Lecter, MD could qualify for Stanford... He's one smart cookie... 8)

If they have a time limit on their tests, he may not fare so well.  :lol2:

:lol: :lol: :lol:  That right there is funny, I don't care who you are, that's funny.  But I'd hate to be you when he sees that...  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep, maybe he runs the football that well when someone hands it off to him or as well on kick returns. I was looking more at his cuts how he made folks miss on tackles.
