Big time.

Marcus Johnson’s willingness to fight on the recruiting trail has been a breath of fresh air. He doesn’t just give up on a kid if they commit to another school. Time to close the deal.

A lot of people wanted Looney to move from TE coach to OL when Moorhead was hired. I like Looney, but Johnson has done a great job.

Might be ringing the bell soon..

I assumed this was a case of Hill being dropped by Bama (he's not terribly highly rated) but that doesn't appear to be the case.

After watching the Auburn/Bama show..I mean, SEC History show this past week and seeing how Bo Jackson went to Auburn instead of his favorite team because Bear was going to sit him until year 2 or 3, I’m surprised how many great athletes decide to ride the pine instead of showing off their skills immediately.

Playing all these freshmen just might helps us with recruiting. These kids wanna play, ya know ? It would be awesome if this year turned out to get us a great class or two

Even if that was the case, he was a guy they liked and accepted his commitment. So dude has some talent.

Respect his decision.

And I know it's not glamorous or popular but lineman are the most important players in my opinion. If you can't open holes or protect the quarterback nothing else is gonna work. We all saw the Cowboys and Zeke getting 2 yards a carry. Gotta win in the trenches and we usually don't when we play the big boys.

Just keep asking recruits how the careers of Scott Lashley & Nigel Knot have gone @ Bama!

Bama is down to 2 OL’s in this class out of 23 commits. That seems unusual for them.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

I sure wish we could grab him. Another guard would be awesome. Supposedly we have a guard and 2 tackles committed. Hopefully we can get them signed

 

[GloryDawg]

He has a bunch of P 5 offers and many of those are from the big boys who usually win out. So the guy must be pretty dang good regardless how many stars he has.

An absolutely devastating loss for Bama's recruiting class. I doubt they will be able to recover. Seems like Saban is losing control of his program over there.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

I'm thinking Bama should cut their losses with Saban. Recruits are bailing now. When will the free fall stop. My god....they were number 2 for how many weeks ? Unacceptable. But seriously, grabbing some more studs for either line would help restore my optimism.
