re: Bama DT Raekwon Davis

Yep, I haven’t been following recruiting close lately but I hope Hyman turns out good for us. He has the heart but needs to bulk up. Not saying he isn’t big, but needs to tone up some and learn SEC speed. We have McCleon who played with the Rams who tries to help kids here, but the downside is most of the kids know that he is affiliated, even though staying out of trouble, just won’t leave those guys alone. Even if he means no harm, we have a ton of different gangs and that alone will keep some kids away if there is beef with his no matter if he is straight or not. A lot of people don’t know that. Same way with Hampton. It’s sad how young they are when they fall into that life and can’t leave it behind. Its ruthless here. They don’t care how much fame or money you have, you’re pretty much in it for life or else. Even extorting these guys. Raekwon was one of the few to not fall in that trap. Haven’t kept up with Zaire Jones at Vandy but he’s a good one. Just had one sign with Troy after going to Scooba Tech. He played at my school, Damion Willis. He has an awesome family. Years ago Ole Miss had Derrick Davis from Meridian. Raekwon’s bloodline. Also Kenyetta Walker many years ago did pretty good with Florida.
