Big day for Alabama, so let's hear the news as it arrives.

ROLL TIDE

Chris Casher (DL; Mobile - Davidson) looks like he'll stick with FSU.  :(

http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/02/chris_casher_set_to_make_good.html

He attended a camp at Alabama, but has been a strong commit to FSU all year.

Damien Jacobs 4-star DT (Scooba, MS) signed with Florida.

Kenyan Drake is officially with ALABAMA.

Oops, already posted.  Solly.

Williams indeed went with the Boogs.  Also Will Adams went with Boogs.

Tyler Hayes

Thomasville HS

Beckham signs with Missouri.

Les Miles  "We're getting clubbed like baby seals!"

Kurt Freitag ...  Buford Ga.

At least not with Arkansas. I guess that trick of Coach Pinkel landing at Becham's HS football field in a helicopter worked.

Is there a time (televised) for Landon Collins to announce his decision?

I'm back for a few minutes. Updated list:

Man this is going to be bigger than 2008 class I believe it was when we got all those great players. RTR!

Urban Meyer talking about how wide one of his recruit's rear end is. Maybe he's found his new soul-mate since TT is long gone.

Well I can't say you guys got us any gems while I was gone.  But thanks for trying.

We need to get Collins signed ASAP.

Brandon Hill is official.  BIG BOY.  WOOOOOOOOOT.

I wonder what is going on with Mr. Collins, I hope his Mom ain't talking to him. RTR!

Adam Griffith  kicker Ga.

Big day for FSU, BUT Dante Fowler flipped from FSU to Florida.   :o :o

He's waiting to the last minute for dramatic effect. JMHO.

Kwon Alexander to announce in a few minutes.

Signs with LSU.

I take this as a snub for Auburn. He knew his circumstances with Bama.

Trae Elston, Kwon's teammate signs with Ole Miss, snubbing Auburn & LSU.

The action has slowed down. (http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Sleepy/sleep-003.gif)

ESPN has Collins with us?!?

Mike C. has a recap of all the guys we have so far ... good detailed info http://dailybamablog.com/

Tomlinson

Tomlinson is official.  #+ #+ #+ #+ #+

They just spotlighted him on tidetv. He could well have a leading role in our opponents' worst nightmares. Scary serious looking dude.

Bold ones have not signed yet.
^ signed elsewhere

Wish him a full recovery and great career @ UK.

 #+, for that Bama. I truly agree with you. The problem is now solved also. RTR!

So who is left? The list of committed players who have yet to sign letters include:

    Landon Collins
    Casey Gladney
    Darren Lake
    Darius Philon
    Cyrus Jones

Texas Tech confirmed Casey Gladney, a wide receiver from Columbia, S.C., has signed with the Red Raiders.

Cyrus Jones just signed.

Good luck with Tubs.  :lol:

Darren Lake on the board.

That leaves only Philon and Collins left to sign.

Philon is official.

Let's go, Landon. Let's put it to bed.  :popcorn2:

Landon Collins (says on Twitter he’ll sign at 12:30 p.m.)

This does not look good to me. These recruits want all this attention seems they could flip in a heart beat. RTR!

Yeah, I heard the same thing.

One way or the other we are rollin phat.

High drama in Prichard: RT @MikeHerndon_PR: Darius Philon has not signed. Teammate said #bama asked him to grayshirt. #NSDRivals

Since he is showing on the board, that must have happened after the signing.  ???

He played all playoffs with a bad injury, had to have surgery, was approached about a GS a few months ago if push came to shove, and we landed KK and DT, he agreed a few months ago and had no problem...HOWEVER Arkansas got in his ear and made him think about it

Also Toshiro Davis switched from LSU to Texas (said dudes didn't look as happy down there lately lol)

And Tubbs dis the same thing at AU, offered kids an LOI with NO shot at qualifying, he is the same will be JuCo

tommy dees said it  :dunno:

The Rivals Big board still shows Darius as a Commit - not signed.

It was Tweeted also, according to someone on the faxcam forum. Really, it makes sense. I think ESPN shows Bama with 29 commits. If we can only take in 25, something has to give. I know we lost Taylor to Kentucky and Gladney to TT, which both were half way expected, so it would make sense to offer Philon the GS.

Vigor coach confirms Philon has not signed , alludes to numbers issue, does not confirm that he was asked to grayshirt

My clocks says 12:31

Jox radio: "Collins is wearing an Alabama sweatshirt.  His Mama (the problem Mama) is not at the table with him; she's in the audience."

Also, no purple and gold today for Mom. She's wearing a neutral green shirt, but the gf is wearing her Alabama shirt.

reports are that the girlfriend is also wearing Bama gear. 

Mike Farrell, recruiting analyst, says Auburn and LSU were the big disappointments in recruiting outcome today.

Landon signs with Alabama

Roll Tide!!!

Faxcam and WJOX confirms. Man! What a recruiting class!  :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Brandon Greene in.

Mama = Processed

as he signed with Alabama ... the thought popped in my head ...

"I can't believe I am setting here routing for this kid to disobey his parent"   :dunno:

then I remembered ... IT'S FOOTBALL !!!!   :clap:

NSD = Nick Saban Dominates

What a great class of recruits.  How many rings will they get before they leave?

^^^^^ Me Likie^^^^

Read 'em and weep, rest of the country:

T.J. Yeldon

Dalvin Tomlinson

Landon Collins

I don't think I left anyone out. That's 26. Uh oh! 25 is the limit.  :-[

I hear she stuffed her purple jacket in her purse  :lol:

How does this class stack up with the past few years? IMHO, this class could be the best, even topping 2009.

I think this class will go down as the best ever. We'll just have to wait and see which of these guys produce and which ones don't.

Rece Davis talking on the phone to Spurrier. Spurrier asks why no ESPN correspondent came to the SC campus like they did with others and added "We like tacos here, too, ya know."

 :lol:

So who grey shirts?  Alec Morris?

Counting SEC and NC rings, they could have more rings than losses when all is said and done.  Isn't that amazing to think about?

It has been a very good day! RTR everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! #+

Great, great day, boys and girls! Bama dominates once again, the Who loses some, and I smell something burning in west Georgia:

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ub9xJqrGAbQ/TwKKOqg2m2I/AAAAAAAACXU/PEFk9zMdbY8/s1600/barn+burning.jpg)

Good question. Someone on this list will have that conversation with CNS. I think the staff felt like when all panned out today that they would have 25. Kirven may possibly have been a surprise signee.

I know who it won't be, and he is a 3 star I believe:  Adam Griffith, the kicker from GA.

You got that right, SC.

I believe one was back counted, so they should be ok with the 25. Phelon would be the gray shirt, if he decides to come.

I know Deion Blue is an original commit to Bama who went the juco route to get his grades up. Is he the one?

Isn't he currently enrolled as well?

I do know that he is currently enrolled. I'm just not sure of when his scholly was offered.

Darius Philon to Arkansas?  Is that right?

Yep
http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/02/alabama_commitment_darius_phil_1.html

 :( but can't say I blame him.

I haven't heard that he's made a decision yet. You got a source, Chech?

ARKIE IT IS !
http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/02/alabama_commitment_darius_phil_1.html

 :lol: :lol: :lol:

"Casey Gladney signs with Texas Tech, not Alabama"

http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/02/casey_gladney_signs_with_texas.html

Yeah, it's a shame things turned out like they did. I feel for the kid.

I've been away from the computer but it looks like all of you did a great job in getting all of those recruits signed up today, I bet CNS is proud of you.  #+

As far as Philon, I wonder why he didn't take the greyshirt. If he is too hurt to play at Bama would he not be too hurt to play at Arkansas and have to redshirt.  :dunno:

Maybe he needs the scholarship now (to go to school).

Yep, he probably cannot pay his own way.  Can't blame him, he really wanted to come to Bama, but at least a HS teammate will be at Arky with him.  Unfortunate situation all around.

Score one for Tubs.   :lol:

Good video of Alabama signees in action.

Wow, #1 class in 4 out of last 5 years.
