Don't understand why he would be trumpeting USF at every turn if he was Bama bound, but the way our luck has been lately I can't say I would be shocked if so. If we can have a respectable season this year I think it will go a long way with these guys.

 

Taking "Finally found the school that I want to commit to" at face value would indicate it's not USF ...

 

This was my take.  He's at Bama. He FINALLY found a place he wants to commit to. IF>>>he stays of that mindset, Bama seems his choice.  I think he could be a 4 year starter here, and play in front of his family. If he's truly a beast, he could start at Bama, too...but most likely not till his jr or sr year.

 

According to Scout, Bama has 4 LBs in this year's class already.  If he projects as a DE, they have zero DE commits, it seems.

Hopefully this is just a swoon at Bama (plenty of good reasons, obviously).  But hopefully he ends up here...seems like a better than 3 star.

While yes, I think it's great to offer these blue chip athletes and go after them, I think it's more important to go after the athletes we have a better shot at. Players like Jackson have offers from

The grown men trying to be friends with these kids is the most uncomfortable.

Wait was he at Bama when he tweeted that? If so, I totally get what you're saying. If not, though, Bama has been recruiting him for a while so don't see how the "finally" plays in.

Don't know, as I don't follow these guys that closely, but thought someone posted that he was visting Bama, then Auburn. 

 

When's the last time we had so much to discuss on recruits...in August.  I like the new Taggart era.

Thought the same thing about somebody visiting but wasn't for sure which recruit it was .... Did VJ just visit Arkansas, also?

That was Quinton Flowers, not VJ. VJ was NOT in Alabama when he sent that tweet

Or it could mean he was very interested and FINALLY made a firm decision on where he wants to be. Doesnt necessarily mean its a new place at all

If we're learned nothing else here (and we likely haven't) it's that there's no telling what these posts mean or what's in the mind of a 17 year old kid.  I can tell you, at 17, you did NOT want to be inside my head.
