Title: Tide's ranking continues to rise while Vandy's class continues to surprise Post by: Yellow Pup on December 25, 2011, 09:51:14 AM Push (http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/12/tides_ranking_continues_to_ris.html):popcorn2:
Title: Re: Tide's ranking continues to rise while Vandy's class continues to surprise Post by: McBaman on December 25, 2011, 10:13:03 AM Merry Christmas Day everybody. Good article here. IMHO, if the difference in our class being #1 vs. #2 or even #3 is merely one QB prospect, then I'm da#@ happy with our class as is.

Yeldon, 247sports.com moved Alabama up to No. 1 while ESPN.com ranks Alabama third, behind Texas and Florida State. "We do it by formula," Shurburtt said. "Our computer does it. Alabama is No. 1 right now after getting two four-star commits from JUCOs (Travell Dixon and signee Deion Belue) this week. It's still very close between them and Texas. The Longhorns have a really good shot at landing Dorial Green-Beckham, the No. 2 player in the nation." ESPN believes Texas' class still outshines the others, but Luginbill believes the gap between the Crimson Tide and Seminoles hinges on one Jameis "Jaboo" Winston. "The only difference is the quarterback," Luginbill said, referring to Winston, a Seminole commitment. > How much will Yeldon help Alabama? While there was talk that he would switch his pledge from Auburn, it still came as a big surprise to 247sports because the Daphne star consistently insisted he would sign with the Tigers. "We have to take players at their word," Shurburtt said. Shurburtt said Yeldon fits the Alabama offense well.

Tide commitment Kenyan Drake "is more of an all-purpose guy. He can move to the slot and return kicks, but Yeldon is an every- down player." Luginbill believes Yeldon helps Alabama with depth -- especially if Trent Richardson departs for the NFL. Where will defensive back Landon Collins wind up? The safety from Louisiana is rated a five-star across the board and his destination is considered a toss-up between homestate LSU and Alabama. How does Auburn's recruiting stack up nationally? Even with the loss of Yeldon, the Tigers have a top-20 class. Auburn's crop is ranked 13th by 247sports and 18th by ESPN.

How are we set for punter? Title: Re: Tide's ranking continues to rise while Vandy's class continues to surprise Post by: hscoach on December 25, 2011, 04:22:51 PM I am sorry Adam Griffith.

Title: Re: Tide's ranking continues to rise while Vandy's class continues to surprise Post by: pmull on December 25, 2011, 04:53:57 PM We have two kickers on scholarship. Cade Foster was great in HS. He was a goog FG kicker and kicked into the end zone regularly. We also have Jay Williams from Thomasville who is a RS freshmen punter. He has not seen the field yet.
I hope this kid from Georgia is the real deal. Shelly will be back for short FG but we need a good kicker who is solid from 50 yd in. We also need help with kick offs. A punter who can flip the field is always a plus.
