Lawrence commits. Bama having best recruiting year ever.

[Tide High]

aye mags, just wishful thinking at this point. JJ would be enough to keep us in top 3 class i think.

 

[Tide High]

tj bryant almost certainly an FSU lock, but his good buddy Melvin Ray was quoted "expect surprises"???? presser should be starting now.

 

[Tide High]

im freaking nervous. lol.

can't believe there's not more activity in this forum on signing day.

 

[E.T.G.]

yea that cause pryor broke the b10 guys hearts by delaying even longer

 

[E.T.G.]

looks like ND is sitting at 1, Bama 2, and UF is 3


If SC can close with a top 25 class (currently #19 on rivals), despite how the last 2 weeks of recruiting have gone (TJ Lawrence, Tommy Streeter, Glenn Harbin, Jaron Brown, Sterling Lucas, Jonathon Cooper) were all targets who we missed and a 6-6 year to close on top of it all, I will be happy. We got some underrated talent coming in like Simmons who is a lot better than his 3* ranking but had off the field issues. Jarriel King is another guy with the same issues.

 

[Tide High]

burton scott's letter just came in. star jackson's should be coming soon.

 

[Tide High]

Julio Jones!!! Baabyyy!

 

[E.T.G.]

nice shit Tide,

 

[Tide High]

its going to be sweet to watch burton scott and julio line up on each side.

TJ Bryant to USC. he's a gem, glad he's not in the SEC.

 

[Tide High]

Rivals and scout have bama at #1

 

[E.T.G.]

OT - How hot is the rivals update girl

 

[E.T.G.]

tide- how do you guys have 31 recruits though. how many non-qualifiers you got?

 

[Tide High]

OT - How hot is the rivals update girl

haha no shit.

 

[Tide High]

tide- how do you guys have 31 recruits though. how many non-qualifiers you got?

don't know all the details...

with a couple guys coming in early, a couple 2star legacys parents paying the first semester tuition, and a couple grey shirts... they'll all get signed. i wonder about the grades though. alonzo lawrence is iffy i think, maybe a couple others too.

julio's video.

http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3233666&categoryId=2378529&n8pe6c=1

 

[Tide High]

only non-qualifier i could come up with is Lawrence. has a 15 on his ACT, needs a 17. he just took it again, and has two more tries if he fails this one.

 

[E.T.G.]

11 players from Bama are 4 or 5 star recruits that you got, thats is pretty damn impressive for you guys and your state

 

[MrMulligan]

aye, i have a hard time believing we get julio with the offensive coaching turmoil. At least we had a coordinator for the last week, even if he couldn't talk to JJ. JJ does seem like a homeboy, though. we'll see.

Lawrence obviously isn't the smartest kid to come out of HS, so I'm with you Jump.

mully, give me a fucking break. you think i haven't thought heard that ULM shit? (Good, it's a DAMN EMBARASSMENT to the entire SEC)...08-09 is going to be ugly...I will be fucking impressed if we hit the 8 win mark. (Bro, you're the 1st Bama fan I've heard talking LOGICALLY...ya know all your compatriots thought Saban would make y'all IMMEDIATE SEC West contenders.) Don't you think having the toughest schedule in the country will benefit our young team for the 09 season? (Good point.) 3 years is a long time, enjoy your run while it lasts. (Yea, UF is is DANGER of sinking to Bama's depths...:36_11_6: You think you'd be having this run if the NCAA decided to investigate and take away those precious scholarships? How about USC, or OU? Everyone knows what happened to Alabama football. fucking haters...(It's cause you cheatin' MFers are DUMB ENOUGH to get caught handing out $$$$...:36_11_6:

USC, UK, Arky, and Messy St, huh? that's fucking laughable...(You're right I think they've been SUPERIOR to Bama lately...:36_11_6:

Do you even remember the last time your gators came to Tuscaloosa? You're boys who thought it'd be fun to sit in the student section near me sure as hell do.

See ya in a few years.

By the way bro...seriously, CONGRATS on an AWESOME recruiting class...I hope y'all give LSU and Auburn a run for the SEC West (someday soon)...but remember to win an SEC Champ ya gotta go to ATL and go thru the likes of GA, UF or Tenn...:seeya:

Mully :cheers:

 

[Tide High]

well lets see... lost to UGA in OT, and whipped UT out of the stadium this year.

 

[MrMulligan]

11 players from Bama are 4 or 5 star recruits that you got, thats is pretty damn impressive for you guys and your state

Saban is a HELLUVA recruiter...Jones is gonna be a MFing STUD...BUT remember boys UF is still the ONLY TEAM IN THE NATION with four 5* recruits...:tiphat:


Mully :cheers:

 

[Tide High]

i guess its ok for Meyer to recruit gymnasts, since he can't keep a 4 star

 

[Tide High]

its not about being dumb enough to get caught. how about reggie bush's parents house in Cal? its about the NCAA wanting to fuck you.

 

[Tide High]

Pete Carrol is in Gasden, AL for Harris PC. guess that sums that decision up.

 

[Tide High]

Harris has like 24 hats on the table...

 

[Tide High]

and one of them is a houndstooth

 

[MrMulligan]

well lets see... lost to UGA in OT, and whipped UT out of the stadium this year.

C'mon bro don't start talking like y'all are in UF, GA or UT's class based on last year. First, we know that in the SEC anyone (beside Ole Miss or Vandy) can beat anyone on a given Saturday.
Second, y'all had UGLY losses and close wins against below average ULM, Messy St, FSU, CU, Ole Miss, Houston, Arkansas and Vandy (do you really think this schedule for an SEC team was all that tough?)...Hell, now that I look at it y'all were LUCKY to be 7-6...could've been 3-10...but keep dreamin' that y'all will win that SEC title within a maximum of three years based on ONE RECRUITING CLASS...:36_11_6:

32 recruits


lol

that's why they play the game fool. all i said was we were within 1 play of beating UGA and we absolutely whipped UT

that was damn classic.

Kid, I'm glad I met ya...:shake:

In the past I've never considered Bama a true rival for my alma mater (and still really don't) but like rooting against GA, UT, or Auburn and reveling in their losses, I'm gonna enjoy seeing your inbred asses worked weekly in the SEC next year...:36_11_6:

[JumpOnBoard]

Tide, you heard anything about basically upperclassmen having to "practice for their schollie" come spring?

 

[Tide High]

haven't heard, but its definitely going to happen. All the off season talk last year was how awful our team was, Saban shook the hell out of the roster, moving RBs to LB, TE to DE, starting DBs off the depth chart... i wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of cuts. while, i think that could be ugly, I don't think the new guys would feel any lack of loyalty from Saban.

Wesley Neighbors is an academic schollie...

Chris Jackson and Corey Smith count against 2007

Demerius Dareus might grey shirt. i don't know what they promised him to get his brother Marcel to come with him. if so, that makes 33-4 = 29.

illowamn you're acting a biatch illow:

I've actually tried twice to congratulate you on your recruiting class...while giving ya a little shite cause y'all have BLOWN for many years with many Bama fans still thinking it's the '90's...GL in '08...:cheers:


I LUV ME SOME EMOTICONS...:36_11_6:

Mully :cheers:

 

[Tide High]

word. this inbred kid will take that congratulations. its well deserved, as every player so far that told reasons for the commit, said it was because of how hard they were recruited.

cya in 09.
