*** SIGNING-DAY NEWS ***

Bama picks up LSU transfer, Eli Ricks from the portal.

It’s huge news for Nick Saban and staff, as Ricks is considered an immediate impact player on the back end of the defense. The Tide signed two prospects rated as cornerbacks in the Early Signing Period - Trequon Fegans and Earl Little Jr. — but were on the hunt for more.

“I never visited Bama out of high school but my senior year when I was at IMG, I talked to coach Saban almost every day," Ricks told 247Sports’ Greg Biggins last month when he entered the portal. "I was already locked in with LSU at the time but he’s a great coach for sure. My family knows Bryce (Young) and his family really well and my parents have been talking with Craig (father) a lot about what it’s like there.

Whew!  This is a big deal but it will probably get lost in the press coverage of who had the best signing class.  Eli was a 5-star prospect and 3rd team all-american this year.  Major addition to our DBs. 

Way to go coaches!!

I just finished reading an article about Ricks on ESPN, and was very impressed. This is a better recruit for us than any young 5 star!  Regardless of the rankings, this fulfills our needs in the secondary, and may be as big as the Jameson Williams transfer last year. Woot.

Boutte has a series of “likes” on Twitter that would suggest he is keeping a close eye on some things in Tuscaloosa.

What a get that would be!
