Several guys, even uncomitted guys, say that he looks like he really wants to come to Alabama.

AJ McCarron:"Rueben (Randle) was also with us alot. We had fun with him. We started calling him 'grandpa' because he talks so low and walks so slow. He was a lot of fun when you got to know him because then he loosened up.

"We talked recruiting but I didn't pressure him or anything. He's pretty quiet about that but he had a great time at Alabama. I think we are going to get him. There will be a lot of instate pressure at the end so it will be a tough decision but I think he wants to come to Alabama."

That's one player

Kellen Williams: "I didn't get a chance to hang out with Rueben Randle much but Coach Saban was on him all weekend and his host Julio Jones was really working him hard. Just based on what I saw, I think Alabama is going to get him. He even cracked some smiles this weekend and was real loose."

Bama is out of the picture.

When he got there he found out that
they did not have any room for him.

Then he had to sleep on some player's couch
and had his watch, wallet, and some other
stuff stolen from him. Then he went home.

Well when he is with LSU recruits he sings a different tune then. How is he suppose to act when hes there anyway. Is he not suppose to enjoy himself.

He said that he liked it and that it was the same as every time he has been there. He will make a decision on NSD. That was about all he had to say.










Also, He said he enjoyed the Bear Bryant Museum and that he really appreciated Mal Moore allowing him to bring the couch that use to be in Bryant's office to Sabans house and letting him sleep on it. It is being reported that during the night he found the title to a '63 corvette in Joe Namath's name. This was a present to Joe from the university evidently and nobody had any idea where that title had been all of these years.

Julio was his guide (I couldn't spell chaperone) for the weekend and Julio being a mexican and all they went to Taco Casa in Tuscaloosa.



Rumor is he likes spicy food but not blackened food so that should help Alabama over LSU. He was overheard saying that he hates Tony's seasoning and Zatterans crawfish boil. (don't kill the messenger, I am just reporting the facts)

If I was a Bama fan, I wouldn't want AJ McCarron leading the charge to get Randle.

Hes going to be a Tiger, if he didn't commit to Bama after his visit, he wasn't blown away.

Consider the source

Also, R Shepard felt that we would get Debose, etc. and it is not going to happen.
