ive seen on here where bama fans have stated they are the front runner and sure to land greg reid. they might think this but according to GREG REID someone else is the front runner for his services. i got this from espn.
quote:


Reid told ESPN affiliate Web site TotalUGA.com, "Right now, I'd have to say Florida State is leading. t just felt like home there. They made me feel real comfortable and I really like the coaches. Everything about it felt good and like home."

Reid now claims a top of three of Georgia, Florida State and Florida, with Alabama on the outside looking in. He's canceled an official visit to Mississippi State.


sorry if its germans, but i havent seen anyone post this yet

It's Bama, so what can you expect. They lead for everyone and never miss on DBs because ALL DBs want to play for the great one.

geauxtigers,

When was that quote given by Reid? I do not think that Reid will sign with Alabama on signing day, but according to some "insiders" it appears that we have made up enough ground to be considered in his top 3.

i just think its funny how all bama fans "know" they will get reid. reid doesnt even list him in his top 3 and they still think he is a bama lock

Not saying we get him but I'm almost positive that quote was before his official visit to Bama this last weekend. He said he wasn't expecting to like Bama but we blew him away and are now a leader...

I hear UGA has scared him away and that it's now between Bama and FSU for his signature.

All the Experts have FSU for this kid

Bama is just out in there in left feild, it's makes them feel better after being owned by Utah

But they don't seem to realize it just builds up more dissappointment in the end

Janzen Jackson only official this weekend, are you kidding me? CNS practically one on one with a recruit for a weekend? Bama will sign "at least" six 5 star players, we have three, with RR, GR, JJ, BM and DK still out there, and I think we can land them all.....RTR

jan 22. i know he is a 17 year old and 17 year olds change their minds all the time, but he said fsu felt like home and that is a pretty solid statement

you must not read the forums very often. every time reid's name is mentioned he is a lock to alabama, which is complete bs

believe it if you want, my friend talked to greg this morning. saban visited last night, his mother loved him. greg loves tuscaloosa, but his mom didnt want him far away. saban assured his mother he would be fine. greg wants to play for saban and my friend told me hes all bama right now, but hes visiting georgia this weekend. last weekend in tuscaloosa he was talking trash about georgia, says bamas recruiting is on another level than georgia. isnt impressed by martinez and richt, actually showed an email from martinez that was rather pathetic. hes leaning bama right now, but anything can happen. this is coming from someone that talked to him THIS MORNING.

What a ridiculous post.

With this logic:

LSU is just out there in Left field for TR. It makes them feel better after losing to Arkansas.

They don't realize they will just be diassapointed in the end.

I know you are capable of a more intelligent post.

The 22nd was after his OV to FSU and before his OV to Bama. I believe that in the end he signs with Diddy.

If you read the article on BamaOnline about Saban's in home visit Reid is quoted as saying "He did answer a lot of my mom's questions but for me he said he wouldn't guarantee me a starting position but I can compete for one. That's all I wanted to ask." I think that Reid wants someone to guarantee him a starting spot and that Diddy would give him that guarantee.

Reid is going to FSU barring a miracle. Bama fans claim they lead for everyone. I get so sick of this myopic pollyanna-ish view. Its not that sad that some Bama fans claim they lead for "everyone" but its amazing so many gumps actually fall for it and believe it.

greg knows hes good enough to come in and play next year, thats not a factor for him. he wants to return kicks and with javy being a senior those duties could be passed down to him.

Will this roll the Tide over 30 signees for the second year in a row? I didn't realize so many people were eligible for the Bryant Scholarship. But I guess if the Bear gave out 130 schollys a year for all of those years, I guess he was able to hit most of the relatives of these kids in Alabama. Not to mention there aren't too many branches in those family trees....

reid to uga or fsu. but, bama will close strong. myles is a good safety. not reid, but he can play.
