says the BAMA fan





Here you go.



Campbell plans to announce his college decision at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl January 3rd in San Antonio, Texas. He traveled to Tuscaloosa for the first time and went away impressed with the nation’s top ranked team.

"It was the first time I had ever experienced anything like that before," Campbell said. "I was real impressed. Everything was great. The one thing that impressed me the most was the Walk of Champions. That was really cool. They have all the fans cheering for the players before the game. I liked that a lot."

Campbell isn’t ready to name an overall favorite, but Alabama opened a door to become player for his signature.

"It’s a nice place," he said. "They have a great fan base because of no pro [professional] teams. The fans were great. They have a nice coaching staff down there. I like the strength and conditioning coach. Coach Saban is a great coach. You can tell by his past and what he is doing now."

I hear you, but all I did was post what I have read that is out there, and positive for us


I know, that's why I thought I'd present some other information about the situation. I didn't think I was coming in with a "you're full of shite, this is what really happened" attitude. That's why I didn't appreciate the reference about making shite up and assumptions on where I got my info or referencing me to living in our own little world.

I just wanted to present a little info outside of what has been published. I'm officially convinced that recruiting articles are often nothing but propaganda.

One reason being of course that school's people are going to try to give positive info in those articles and reason two being, out of resepct for the free trip and the process how many recruits are going to come out and say "my visit sucked?"

amends?

Well I don't know if he is or not, I haven't heard but that is not an indicator.

*Think Patrick Peterson last year, announced at the AA game and COULD/SHOULD have been here in January.

I hope he really did like his visit and comes the way of the Tide. Because our class is starting to move up. Especially with Chris Bond 4 star DE announcing he is coming to Bama.

William Campbell is an early graduate. The All-American game is January 3rd. He will make his annoucement and enroll a week later. Bama needs him on the d-line. Mount COdy may leave especially if we make it to the NC game.

Does it piss you off then that Saban is recruiting him for the OL? What are your thoughts on that?

It doesn't piss me off. Saban moves people around all the time. We have DJ Fluker. When Bobbie Massie commit to Bama, we can easily slide Campbell back to DT. You know as well as anyone what Saban does with his players. The BEST will be on the field.

Cadello, what's so funny about that statement? You sound like Bama is not undefeated? Don't forget that Saban has helped Bama reclaim our real estate in Death Valley.
