Hey guys been busy lately but I got a lot of great stuff for you guys so I'll get right to it
All the guys coming in for Summer Term I are on campus and accounted for made grades etc all are here, one expected that is enrolling in Summer Term II is Isaac Luatua, he just had a class that hasn't wrapped up yet an advanced class that counts as a college credit at Bama. Duron Carter also had numerous classes that wouldn't transfer from tOSU (don't know what the HELL they are doing at Ohio St) but it looks good for him coming in Summer Term II as well and as far as repercussions from the Buckeyes program lingering and harming his NCAA career I am told our compliance dept is hard at work working every angle and Duron and Cris have been more than forthcoming with cooperation and so far it looks like everything with him checks out.
Now on to some of the impressive guys I've seen so far:
- Lamicheal Fanning has really impressed everybody so far. He came in at 6'6 285 and has every tool needed to be a dominant DL in the SEC. Mean streak, quick first step, overpowering upper body strength, his footwork is a thing of beauty, count him as one I expect to factor in even as soon as this year into the rotation. To say Chris Rumph is in hog heaven with all the talent he's got is an understatement
- A lot was expected out of Marvin Shinn coming in and the door was open for his opportunity and so far he has not disappointed, he's so athletic and fast still could use some weight but he got bigger than his HS playing weight and showed up on campus at 6'3 1/2 205 and is planning to gain a bit more before the season starts. So far he's had some great battles with Dre and Quan and really bonded with the other WR's especially Hanks which helps since Hanks knows the playbook like the back of his hand
Ryan Kelly OG we signed from Ohio has also been pretty impressive from watching just his footwork etc in trench drills now that his knee is fully healthy, he has turned some heads as well
I know a lot of you were probably dumbfounded by the transfer of C. Grant, but I can tell you that Grant felt very homesick all last year and some even say underperformed in hopes of getting released, and then Dee arrived, and that sent Grant through the roof, and Dee has continued to really look the part this summer so far, he's packed on about 15 more lbs of muscle and been almost a shadow of Trent in the weight room to gain knowledge and earn PT, you guys are gonna be blown away with him this year trust me
Now for recruiting:
- We have a special visitor on campus today and it is a top secret visit by Gunner and a decision is imminent, trust me when I say he's the beginning domino to fall for our monster summer we will have in recruiting you guys want a pic leaked by a student of Gunner and Coach Mac here ya go -
Click here for link- We have a few major WR's in the fold like I said after Gunner pulls the trigger, expect at least one WR from Missouri and one WR from First Coast Florida both to pull the trigger very soon, Green-Beckham will likely wait a while but don't think that means we don't have a shot, we are heavily in the lead and adding an elite QB pushes us even higher
- T.J. Yeldon is another sad case for AU, they sold him the world promised him starting RB for 4 years and then when Bama got momentum swung it back in there favor by mentioning Barry J. Sanders, Barry even reached out to Yeldon and it didn't help, all these guys committing after Big Cat Weekend is no coincidence and a few other schools that led for this guy or that guy got a whole new round of ammo to turn in to the NCAA on this years Big Cat. T.J. is a good kid and it sickens me to see his head filled with their nonsense and lies but they'll get what's coming to them
