I think it’s best to look at where they took official visits. Too many guys out there showing offers from Alabama who could only get to visit campus if it was on their own dime.
I think Bama is full at ILB now so he may very well have had a committable offer to start off with or was told they would have to see how things shook out before they let him visit. Bama offers a plethora of top recruits but obviously doesn't take them all. I believe they had offered Gebbia at one point if I remember correctly. This kid looks like a great talent. He's got the speed we need at linebacker.
