Mac and Company on the Trail

[Mr2Bits]

Note that Alabama's class is full at 25 - I don't know how many more they can take. Michigan is at 23.

When have max class sizes ever stopped Bama from pushing others out or issuing grey cards?

Word is no on LSU so long as Raymond is there

Yep...Stewart hates Raymond! Raymond just got a huge raise and extension from LSU so (unless something crazy happens) I think he'll be a Gator.

 

[Marianna-FL_Gator]

We need some CBs who can come in and play. This kid looks good and Blades is going to be a star if he sticks. Really hope the staff can close well... getting tired of the disappointment

I think Stewart will play Safety in college. He's a big/strong/fast/physical kid who will light that a$$ up if you are slipping!

So do you think we are doing better than it seems? I sure hope so. I am sick of seeing everyone else get good players.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

On the off chance we pick these guys up the class may not stink to high heaven. Still need about 6 more bodies though.

We still need about 16 bodies.

Wouldn't be wonderful to finally be off the 10 or more man scholarship penalty we've been under since CUM's last year?

We'll finish with a top 12-15 class...so we aren't doing as well as we need to be doing. In my opinion...for us to get back to winning championship's we need to stack 2 or 3 top 3-8 full classes in a row.

His 40 time's a little slow (4.76) but we know that may not be entirely accurate of how fast he really is. Safety does seem to be a good fit for him, similar to Chauncey.

He'll play safety...He's around 210 lbs now.

Looks like we can scratch 4* California LB Rahyme Johnson off the board. Looks like he's eliminated us and will choose between Oregon,Oregon state,UCLA and Nebraska on Jan 6th.

 

[Marianna-FL_Gator]

Looks like Mac and co are in "scramble mode" after the news about Johnson. We just offered Orlando's (Dr Phillips) 3* LB Nick Smith.

I have no problem with this. I wish we were hearing about Plan B DT's getting offers.

Thanks for all the updates.

I agree w/ Law, we need more than 25 in this class. Going into every year under 80 scholarship players is getting old.

I'll take any of the DT's listed and hopefully we get the OL from NC. They need to find a few more Plan B's to fill out this class (at OL). Looks like the other prospects are actually 4-stars or very sought after 3-star kids (w/ good offer lists).

I count 76 right now, including LDR but not the other walkons.

We re never going to get there at this rate.

Does not surprise me, we should stay the hell out of California. Very rare we get a recruit from there. Stay focused in state and states around us like Georgia.

Glad Telfort seems a lock.

Good news. I wish we would eliminate all California recruiting.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

for us to get back to winning championship's we need to stack 2 or 3 top 3-8 full classes in a row.

Im not sure we will ever win championships with this staff but for us to compete we need at least as many bluechippers as the top guys for 3 years. Some years that means top 3 some years it means top 5.

What? I've seen several new names pop up recently, including some renewed interest by Solomon. Not saying we land them all, but Mac seems to be checking all options.

From my perspective, this issue is that Mac is way behind in checking all options. He should have been in front for these guys...now we are trying to flip kids and this staff is not a staff that can flip.

Alabama has signed the following classes according to rivals:
2013 - 25
2014 - 26
2015 - 25
2016 - 24
----
100
Are those numbers what they actually have done? I always assumed they get around it somehow. But they have 25 committed right now so it will be interesting to see if they take anymore.

We signed over the same period.
29
24
21
25
---
99

Yes we could legally sign 15-16 more. While we're stating the obvious it we also be great if they are all 5*s.

The guys film was bad anyways.
