Bamajohn123

Actually, Bama has 22 seniors on scholorship this year, so next year will likely be the same (or close to the same) as the last 2 years in terms of numbers signed.

I have not seen any composite rankings, but I would put more value in a composite ranking than in the opinion of any one person. Of course, if the composite rankings count Tom Lungbill and Tom Lemming the same as the entire Rivals and Scout networks combined, I would think it was an improperly scaled ranking.

Most bama fans I know think Luginbill is an Auburn fan, think ESPN hates Bama, etc. Sounds like we have much in common with LSU fans. It is also funny that LSU fans think Rivals has a Bama bias, but they rate LSU higher than any other recruiting service. Anyway, I would love to get RR to Bama, but that will be an uphill climb.

No problem. :cheers:

"If you asked the players themselves, they probably couldn't break it down into percentages."

I disagree. I think most think in terms of percentages until they make up their minds. Sorry you think my reasoning is BS. It is just an opinion and you obviously have a different opinion.

As for DS, it is clear that he was LSU bound if they offered. Why is it unrealistic to belive that he could switch if they now offered? I agree that there is a good chance that he would honor his commitment, but I think there is a better chance that he would switch to LSU. As for RR, he is not saying much of anything in the press, but that does not mean that there is no information out there on him. Many people believe this is an LSU v. Bama race and is a close call. If it is a close call, what is wrong with breaking it down in percentages?

"lol at breaking it down with percentages, what a terrible way to look at recruiting."

Seems logical to me. At the end of the recruiting season, it is either 100% or 0%, but until then there are percentages of success. Of course, I often get paid to give advise in percentages (not in relation to recruiting), so perhaps I am biased.

Dre Kilpatrick- He is a 5* corner out of Alabama. Probably the top player in Alabama this year.

Those 3 are all solid to LSU. I was referencing the non commits or the soft commits.

In response to a Q a few back, word on the Bama sites about 6 weeks ago was that he was ready to commit to Bama that week. For some reason, that did not happen. Since then, Bama seems to have focused more on other WR's and Kelly is not mentioned as much. I still think Bama wants him, but I think he is seriously looking aoutside of Bama as well. Time will tell.

I think he goes to Alabama, but I would not be surprised if he left the state either. Given all the great WR's still on Bama's board, he may lose his offer if 2-3 of them commit before he does.
