I will give you guys Chad Thomas. but he had tremendous pressure from family and friends to stay home.

Burns was an early bammer commit, but had to stay home due to his family situation.

Richards was not pursued hard by bammer (neither was Bush). Their main WR targets were guys like AJ Brown, Cavin Ridley, Demetris Robertson.

Saban only visited Bush because he was in the area.


dont know why anybody thinks we will beat out bammer for guys that are not in um friendly areas like Leatherwood.

you give me a couple of head to head examples out of dozens and think that means something? it doesn't.

So you're backing off your blanket statement a bit? Before you said that we wouldn't get guys that they really wanted. Now, we won't get them unless they're in UM friendly areas.

Face it -- your all-or-nothing statement is inaccurate. Of course competing against a team that has recently won multiple Championships is an uphill battle. But we will get some of the guys they want. And yes, if we start winning big-time, we'll get more of those guys (but still not all of them).

Alabama had Ahmmon Richards at the top of their board after he decommitted from Miami. But ok. Also, you left out Trevon Diggs

ask their fans...Richards was not one of their main targets. he was actually a back up plan.

Ahmmon Richards was a backup plan for who? Did you see how many WR's Bama got last year?
Lets assume that is true..you tellin me Saban missed out on all 3 of his "top targets" at WR according to your list, and he didn't go hard after his "Back up plan" WR?
 
Pictures like that keep the bagmen coming, not saying that he is getting paid, living that close to Alabama, but if I was a recruit, that's how I'd do it. Can't make it too easy.
 
Just visited smu and watched the pony express... You boys ready to spend some $$$ and get back on the map or nah??

Only place in Bama worth a **** is Birmingham.

Every other city there (and I use that term lightly) makes me feel like I just stepped out of the Delorian 30 years in the past. It is a dump. But Auburn and Alabama are kingdoms for an athlete, so it really makes no difference.

Birmingham is a liberal ****hole, just like every city, I had a home in Bama for 10 years. Some of the nicest people I have ever met are from Bama out of the cities. Very, very low crime compared to other states at least where I lived, left my house for 8-10 months a year sometimes because we traveled alot, never had a break in. Try doing that in Florida without gates around you. Racists are all over this country in every color, nothing you can do about it. It takes years to break in if you're an outsider, once they see you treating them right, they pay you back 10 fold in kindness. Live out in Vegas now, people just plain suck, too many from CA here that really suck. Weak whiny entitled people in the cities out west, east coast people are easier to deal with but the scenery out here blows away the east coast that's why we're here for a while.

I've lived in Miami my entire life (save for a lil stint in L.A.). Never been robbed. Never been a victim of a break in. Never been a victim of a crime.

Alabama is as crime ridden as they come. The murder rate isn't much lower than Florida's (which is alarming given the population disparity), and they have 4 cities in the Top 100 Most Crime Ridden places in America. The South is the new Wild West. Believe it.

It's nothing personal. That place is a racist dump.

I will agree, the people are nice and polite. To your face at least.

I lived in SF for 25 years plus, save it. Try leaving your house unoccupied for 8-10 months a year actually long the past 3, no break ins. People are beyond polite, nothing like SF. How many years did you live in Bama?

If Alex Leatherwood visits Miami again it looks like it will have to be unofficially. His high school online coach I believe has a connection to Coach Searels so there is a potential backdoor for Miami and most likely what has kept us in his recruitment.

2017 5-star OT Alex Leatherwood, an Alabama commit, will officially visit Michigan on October 1st

Alex Leatherwood, committed to Alabama, will officially visit Michigan on October 1st, according to Chad Simmons of Scout.

The five-star offensive tackle from Washington High School in Pensacola, Florida is the ranked No. 5 in the 2017 class, according to 247Sports. The only players ranked higher than Leatherwood are Najee Harris (No. 1 - Alabama), Foster Sarell (No. 2), Marvin Wilson (No. 3) and Dylan Moses (No. 4). He is the second-best offensive tackle and the second-best player in the state of Florida.

“I will be visiting Michigan for the Wisconsin game (October 1) and will be my first time visit Michigan,” Leatherwood said to Scout. “Michigan has a need to offensive lineman and I really like the direction the program is going in. I like [Tim] Drevno’s track record with players too.”

The 6-foot-6, 325-pound offensive lineman will visit Alabama on November 26th and then USC, Florida and LSU after the football season is over.

Leatherwood has offers to play for Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Miami (FL), Michigan, USC, Louisville, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Tennessee.
