Wait a minute

As a UT fan, I must admitt bama did not offer him a scholarship. Check out Scout.com. Saban is locking down that state and none of the truly special players are leaving. He was number 18 in the state.

Either way though…. maybe he’s under the radar. Welcome to Vol Land Son!

I have a question about Scout's listings.

Do they list all of the schools that offer, or only the ones that he’s expressed interest in? I’ve never known. Rivals lists Alabama as one of his “college choices” – another term that could carry either meaning.

But if Alabama didn’t offer, that might be because he spent his three camp visits at Auburn, UT and MSU. With that kind of summer, it’d seem that Alabama wasn’t in the running anyhow. But however the whole thing happened – Alabama offer or no – he seems pretty hyped up on UT. That usually means good things. (And Scout has him up to 12 (overall) in the state, but I don’t give that much thought. The rankings don’t tell how much distance is perceived between any two recruits, so it’s a little hard to interpret correctly.)
