Oh well, :yawn:. We probably need to Saban a few more guys.
After the troubles we've had on the O'Line and multiple years with depleted depth... I'm not sure I want ANYBODY with starting experience leaving right now.

Trust me, I want these kids to come here BAD! But I shudder to think about a true fresh playing NT in the SEC :fear:
Hard to say anymore, that DT out at Houston was a beast this season. Not the norm by any means, but not as certain as 10 years ago either.

Found this on the leatherwood situation:

Leatherwood was set to fly to Bama after the phone call and things seemed about over but he decided to go to the Outback Bowl anyways. Bama hassled him the whole way to Tampa on the phone.
Probably why his iPhone was seen sitting on the concrete step below his seat - was tired of being harassed.

Looking at the crystal ball feed at 247, everyone is pickin Slaton to us, no surprise there.What is interesting is Levi Jones has been trending to UF as well as Chris Henderson. Soloman is a big trend to Bama and Hunter to VaTech.

Rex is finding ways he can crap on this kid if we get him :lmao2:

BINGO!

I thought the same thing.... That or crap on the staff for recruiting a kid to play a position he's never played before... Either way, rest assured that 'Rex intends to take a crap on this...

You guys don't have the same POV as football players WRT to an education. They're trying to get to the NFL not a degree to work in accounting. Also any talk of value goes out the window when most players are funneled into sociology, community services, and sport management degrees. A schools education ranking is for The fans. Number of NFL draft picks and where they're drafted is for players. That's why Saban creates posters with all his players drafted on it. He's selling a career in the NFL, not a college education and it works

I can't find anywhere that says he played d line at all. I found this quote interesting though:

“I’m going to shed a lot of weight by the time I go to college,” Slaton said. “My goal weight would be 290.”

He has played DT and wants to in CFB. From what I've seen us and UK are the only ones who we're willing give him that shot. No matter where he ends up playing he's a solid addition.

No doubt he's a talent and would be a great addition. Thanks for the info.
