Dre Kilpatrick and...?

Are you already assuming that Trent Richardson will stay at Alabama and be moved up to a 5-star and that Nico Johnson will commit to Alabama and be moved up to a 5-star?
Nico Johnson, Dre Kirkpatrick and Trent Richardson will all be 5-stars.

On Scout Kendall Kelly/Nico/Dre are 5-stars and Tana should get his 5th again by the end of the year.

Yes, they will be 5-stars.

I think it's more likely that Richardson ends up at Florida than Bama, but they definitely still have a shot at him. As for him moving up to a 5-star, I think it's possible... but unlikely.

this is a common perception on bama boards. i think they expect richardson and dj fluker to get 5th stars. that's about the only way they get more than one five star
Fluker no...Richardson definately, he dominated at FNL and should/will be a 5-star.

Pure speculation.

Why are you spewing out star rankings like they're gospel in your first post and now speculating that the star rankings are wrong and they'll be changed later? You're basically undermining your entire thread.

When was the last time Saban lost a bigtime commit to someone?

If he signed with LSU you would tihnk he is a 5-star.

Why would he go to Florida when the RB isn't even the main feature of the offense?

Are you an idiot?

The point of this thread was to show that LSU Fans who are mocking this class as a bunch of average players, need to look in the mirror, because its the exact same situation if not better than you guys had last year at this time! Did you think your class was filled with average everyday players? You sure didn't admit it.

Pat White comes to mind.

Feel free to read my posts. I think you'll find I'm as unbiased as they come.

Because by the time he's a featured back, Tebow will be gone.

He's also stated multiple times that he wants to play in an offense that suits him..

in that sense Bama >>>> UF

Not to mention he is very close with all of our bigtime players from last year AND the bigtime targets this year that are coming to bama.

And you're using the ranking system to back yourself up, all-the-while insinuating that the ranking system is wrong and that a bunch of your current and prospective future commits are underrated.

I would say that last year's class was a good (but not great) class. The class addressed needs but wasn't full of "can't miss" guys.

I am in no way endorsing or backing OP, but TR is actually a verbal to Bama as of right now.

so what happens when richardson decommits from bama to come to LSU even though we already have 2 of the top 10 backs in the country?

next your going to spout off how saban stole robbie green from LSU and that luther davis didnt beg miles to take him back into the class the day before NSD.

btw thanks for the lutehr davis "steal" we got drake nevis out of that debacle

Yeah, you're right... he's a shitty athlete.

In all honesty, I do think he's cost himself millions of dollars by playing QB instead of CB in college.

Come on dude, everyone loses atleast some big time recruits. Quit acting like Saban can do no wrong.

(Robert Lane comes to mind BTW)

He's stated numerous times that he's "about 50% committed to Bama." He's by no means a solid commit at this point. He still plans on taking other visits if I remember correctly.
