        I have been looking forward to seeing him play his senior season here in Athens. He is a very tall lanky kid with a cannon. When he puts on some more weight and gets a little thicker, he could be a pretty good QB.

          4* QB Phillip Ely commits to Alabama.




          Just got the offer from Alabama a couple days ago. QB of James Wilder's team at Plant HS for a reference point.

            That came completely out of nowhere. I was pretty convinced there would be no QBs added this year, especially with reps Blake Sims has been getting at the position. Nice pick up though.

                Nick Saban wants him and he's 19-0 as a starter. Good enough for me. He's probably going to be a Greg McElroy type for us only more athletic. I doubt he sees the field until he's a redshirt sophomore and may get to start the following year.

                  Considering the lack of positive reviews that you have not heard about him, what do you think of Clemson's failed recruitment of him?

                  Until yesterday I hadn't heard his name mentioned that much, but I haven't heard much about any QB considering that I was convinced Bama would not be going after any QBs this year, and would make a run for Jameis Winston next year, who they are currently leading for.

                  All I know is he's Alabama 4th Elite 11 QB in as many years, is a Rivals 4*, has never lost a game going all the way back to JV and 2x BCSNC CNS wanted and got him. If all I knew was that last bit about CNS, it would be more than good enough for me to be happy.

                  We were in danger of entering next season with only 2 scholly QBs. Those 2 QBs are outstanding by all accounts but Ely provides quality depth if nothing else. It's not like he's going to come in and beat out AJ or Sims and no one expects him to. Maybe he transfers out if/when Bama picks up a bigger QB prospect, maybe he sticks it out, gets a year to start and is productive, who knows.

                    Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

                    It wasnt a shot or anything. I know what everyone reads at rivals or scout and how many negative things do you see? Those guys are sunshine pumpers. I just have read from other places with slightly more objective people that he was one of the weakest at the elite 11. That elite 11 is a crock of **** anyway.

                    I realize elite 11 are your top tier qbs for the cycle but he reminded some of willy korn. Clemson was never in that good with him. I thought he was going to LSU to tell you the truth. Yeah we would have loved to had him if for nothing more than depth. Because we will only have 2 qbs on scholarship next year RS SO Boyd and true FR McNeal. You arent going to hear the excuses from others about how we werent that interested or anything. We missed out I dont know what else you want me to say.

                    Here is the truth about our recruiting. Billy Napier is great, Dabo is great but being the HC has cut into that, Kevin Steele is mailing it in, Andre Powell seems to be able to get us close but not able to close (plus he is a terrible coach), Jeff Scott is great but his coaching leaves a lot to be desired (look how bad our WRs are...either we cant judge talent at all or the coaching has been terrible), Danny Pearman only is with the team because he is friends with Dabo (he has really dropped the ball with Rome), Chris Rumph is above average, Dan Brooks really isnt doing much at all, Charlie Harbison has done a solid job but he really isnt the head recruiter with anybody, and Brad Scott needs to just go away.

                    Dabo is so hell bent on finding heart players, which you need, that we offer some that just make me . I would personally like if Clemson would not recruit the state of Alabama at all because for every Tyler Grisham we get like 4 goats.

                    I know I went on a bit of a rant about Clemson recruiting but it gives some insight as to how I feel.

                    I dont know how much the story has legs but there are some that think Lemay is cooling on his commitment to UGA. Basically if we could get him Rome would come as well.

                      The one big knock I can see is that he's shorter than you'd typically want at 6'0"-6'1". He doesn't have the biggest arm but has great touch, looks pretty accurate and is decently athletic. He looks more than capable of providing Bama with quality depth at the position. I'm no scout though.

                              This may be aprt of the reason:

                              I also asked McKay about some rumors I'd seen about Texas offering Seferian-Jenkins as an offensive tackle, rather than a tight end. That's only partially true. McKay said the Texas coaching staff told Seferian-Jenkins they want him to play tight end, but that might not be the position he stays at. The staff showed Seferian-Jenkins examples of players who entered the program as freshman tight ends and how much their weight increased through strength training and weight lifting.

                              “They had a guy who came in at 215 and left at 240,” McKay said. “Then they had one who came in at 225 and is at 250 in the NFL.”


                              If Seferian-Jenkins, who currently weighs about 265 pounds, gets much bigger, he was told he'd have to move to tackle. If I took anything away from talking with Seferian-Jenkins three weeks ago, it’s that he sees himself as a tight end, not a left tackle-in-training. McKay credited the Longhorns with being up front about this issue, but he also believes that Seferian-Jenkins might not see the massive 25- or 30-pound weight-gain Texas was worried about.
