From Garcia: Labryan Ray, a top 100 DE from Alabama, has worked more inside than outside this week. He has still been very productive (No. 94)
From Corey Bender:
DL Labryan Ray has been dominant in one-on-ones. Exploding and utilizing his athleticism at 6-5, 270. Can't draw them up much better either.
Since the early 1960s. Went to school at Bama in mid 1970s. My Dad's best buddy was a UT alum and his son I were close friends growing up too. We all went to the TSIO games together back in the 60s. I've always respected and liked the Vols, but of course want the Tide to beat 'em. Coach Bryant considered the UT game as the measure of how good his team was. He told his players, "You find out what you're made of when you play Tennessee."How long you been a Bama fan?

You are going to confuse some of the apologists. They think that it's only me that posts "He Gone"
But you're right........he gone
So how're things looking with Ray, do we have a legitimate chance and who all is he planning on visiting before NSD?
Ray is planning to visit Tennessee the weekend of Jan. 13, Alabama the weekend of Jan. 20, Florida the weekend of Jan. 27 and apparently Mississippi State at some point for a midweek visit. I do think the Vols have a legitimate chance probably a slightly better chance than most are giving them but it still would be a bit of an upset if he doesn't end up Alabama, considering the Crimson Tide's recent history of landing the top prospects in Alabama that they actually want.
10 minutes after Akers commits to FSU, you fall all over yourself to get over to this thread to post this crap? Will you be proud of yourself if he does go to Bama? Will you come back here and admit you were wrong if he comes here?

Defensive Lineman

James Clemens High School, Madison, Ala.
One of Tennessees longtime top targets, Ray already has visited the Vols four times within the past year and is planning to take one more look at them the weekend of Jan. 13. It will be the first of a few important visits this month for Ray, whos also planning to travel to Alabama the weekend of Jan. 20 and Florida the weekend of Jan. 27 in addition to taking a midweek visit to Mississippi State. Alabama is widely believed to be the favorite to land Ray, but many close to his recruitment believe Tennessee remains the Crimson Tides primary competition for the top-50 defensive lineman.
I feel like we're discussing two separate points.
1) of course Bama has more players in the league, it corresponds to their recruiting rankings over the last 8 years. They have they most talented roster in CFB.
2) where you go to college doesn't determine making it to the league. Whether Ray goes to Bama or Toledo, if he is good enough to play in the NFL, he will find his way there regardless of college.
