Crimson Red Sports

Still 100% on D.Tomlinson, he will be a part of this class

Looks like the staff had a serious decision & we already had enough LB's in this class to field a starting bball team (:lol:) so unless Kwon accepts Bama's greyshirt offer (which he still might do, grew up a HUGE Bama fan & needs to rehab his knee injury, but both AU & LSU have offered him a FULL scholarship in this year's class)

The consensus this morning is the other offer is still up in the air for Kirven, and what was thought to be a long shot after Sal left (as I previously said & the staff thought), now his situation is looking MUCH more positive for the good guys & the staff would rather add another potential DL (likely play DE) and it looks like he will be an addition

IF Kwon picks Bama...he should INSTANTLY become a fav recruit for most of us simply for the fact that:

1. He is not a fit at LB & would have to add significant weight, but would fit perfectly at LB at either of his other 2 choices, AU or LSU

2. He will only be getting a greyshirt offer, and it has nothing to do with #'s, it is strictly because of his knee injury

3. He will have spurned a FULL SCHOLARSHIP in this year's class at either of our bitter rivals AU & LSU, but would do so because he grew up a huge Bama fan & always dreamed of wearing Crimson.

Kirven & Tomlinson to close out the class along with a few 2013 commits (Nkemdiche) tomorrow, Bama may not have a thunderous 2012 close, but will def more than likely steal the show.

Great update, Tox. Appreciate it.  #+

Good stuff, I think Alexander takes the greyshirt. CNS must have gotten into Kirven's head on his trip there last weekend. Roll Tide!! >:(   #+

CNS and Kirven walk out of the south tunnel of BDS onto a perfectly groomed field, bathed in sunlight. CNS with one hand on Kirven's shoulder points with the other to the 14 flags, waving smartly in a steady breeze.

CNS: "Son what do think about that?"

Kirven: "That's really something coach, that's a lot of tradition right there. (Turning to CNS) What do you think about that coach?"

CNS: "I think we're gonna need some more flagpoles"

Welcome Kirven, and welcome to all the fine young men who are about to seize the moment, rise to the challenge, and become part of a past and a future unrivaled in college sports. Once you slip on the crimson headgear, with one white stripe, and one number, your number, you will understand. Roll Tide.



edit: spelling corrected.

Looks like Toxik nailed today....

I am glad we did so well. I am expecting to see Coach urban meyer and tOSU in the NCG soon. RTR!

Yep!  #+

Speaking of another guy I owe a round of beers to next time he is here in Mobile .... ;D

XLNT, Tox.  You get e-cred.  #+

I don't get why tosu and meyer are getting praise for getting the recruits they always get anyway.

CB, if you buy beers for everybody associated with Bama that comes to Mobile, I'll have to come to your rehab to see you and pay up.  :D

Tox = BOOM

True. Maybe SALT can ante up some to help me out.  ;)

Here's an idea; you, SALT, XBAMA and I can all get together and pitch in. That way, we'll just have hangovers, but rehab not required (and you won't go broke).

THANK YOU GUYS THANK YOU

Enjoy!!

Mrs. cb thanks you.  :lol:

Probably because OSU's recruiting was down this year because of the scandal until Meyer came on board and got some blue chippers who were going elsewhere.  It didn't hurt, though, that 3 of those players were previous PSU commits.
