Bamas class average is 4.5*...that isht ain't cracked bro..I just cant understand why more kids don't see that other teams can win too, and you might actually get to play if you go somewhere else...plus it is getting to the place that Bama fans don't know or remember many players careers unless it is for something bad. You are just another log on the pile to them, when you would be a legend to most other fanbases.
We've been talking in recent weeks about prospect rankings, and what BS they are; especially Rivals (I have said before, I was done with Rivals the day they TRIED telling me that Trey Smith was a 4*, and the #4 prospect in the state). Well...the 247 composite...
Checking out his rankings history, Henry T peaked during his Jr season at #13 overall (and what I'm assuming was a 5th star(?)); and had fallen to #44 overall by the time he signed. And what did he do to suffer such a tumble (31 spots), you may ask? All he did was go out his Sr season and win Defensive Player of the Year in the entire state of California is all. What bullsh*t, is all I can say.
Done with stars and rankings and Rivals and 247 and whatever else...I roll with Pruitt and company. If they want Jarrod Means or Kenny Solomon or Elijah Simmons...or Roman Harrison...I want those guys, as well; damn the stars, damn the rankings...and, Brent Hubbs and Jesse Simonton (Gator, never forget it) and Austin Price and Ryan Callahan and company can continue on grasping at straws in the dark.
I was with you until you started criticizing the guys in the end.

I like all those guys, too, Bass; except for Simonton; and I really do like Callahan, have a lot of respect for him. But the guys at VQ, I'm done with them talking about how bad we've recruited in-state; and, in-state this, and in-state that. It seems like they never once realized that Pruitt didn't "lose" Woody Washington or Trey Knox or Lance Wilhoit or Adonis Otey, etc.I was with you until you started criticizing the guys in the end.

I'd like to know what the highest ranking is that each player received at any point. Is there a way to find that info?We've been talking in recent weeks about prospect rankings, and what BS they are; especially Rivals (I have said before, I was done with Rivals the day they TRIED telling me that Trey Smith was a 4*, and the #4 prospect in the state).

On 247, for the composite, if your looking at their overall ranking, right next to it will say "history"; and you can click on it to see their overall history for their composite ranking.I'd like to know what the highest ranking is that each player received at any point.

Running back and some QBs make good LBs. Wasn't Steve Kiner a QB in HS?To'oto'o is a Baller... Samoan heat-seeking missile up the gut. I, for one, LOVE getting ILB that played RB in high school... they see the holes RBs are looking to and plug them instinctively, because they know where they would have gone....

We just so happen to have signed two of them this class
I don’t think you’ve been asked, but the StayPuft Marshmallow Man reference? And when I asked if we’d be happy with “he who was chosen” and you responded “not everybody but most will be.” Was that Chaney?It was a good week boys. Enjoy it.
More than once I have told people here that things were going to be different....that we would start winning in these types of situations. This class is just the warm up. We put together any semblance of a winning team next year and the sky is the limit.
No they don’t, but they do own their narrative! I like and respect and will continue to subscribe, but this wasn’t their best postseason work...over a variety of subjects. Clueless on any coaching moves, last to know on most recruits...their own 4-8 season. My working theory is that they have little or no connection with Pruitt and their sniping remarks about his offering strategy is at best a butthurt resultant.I was with you until you started criticizing the guys in the end.
