Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

yes it is

I loved watching his brother play so I'll probably be a fan of his.

I expect AU to be a player for these guys as well. Columbus is a big AU city as well (only 30 miles from campus). Should be interesting.

"It's Alabama, Georgia is No. 2 now, Clemson and then Florida State," he listed in order. "Alabama runs the ball and I could play there early. Georgia is recruiting me the hardest, but Alabama is one right now."


From an article posted today on Clemson's Rivals site.



It helps Alabama that a Carver kid, Gabe Wright, is a Bama lean at the moment.

It's a full year til Signing Day. I'm willing to bet that top 5 changes quite a bit by then.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Looks like potential 5* ATH Karlos Williams officially committed to Florida State today. He is the brother of former Rivals 250 LB Vince Williams and this should surprise no one, he's been FSU bound since he was a Freshman. Big pickup for FSU early on and there could be more to come this weekend with FSU having over 50 prospects in for Junior Day.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

3 Big In state prospects are in Auburn for an unofficial visit this weekend.

Current Auburn Commit OL Spencer Region, Spanish Fort OL Reese Dismukes, and Leeds DB Jonathan Rose (son of former Auburn DB Charles Rose). All 3 will be top 10 in state talent next year.

Nice to have Region visiting with Dismukes this weekend. Auburn may offer Rose this weekend. Rose already has offers from FSU and Bammer.

Andrew Bone: Top 2011 Prospects show interest in Alabama

Scout.com released its national Top 150 last week of high school prospects for the class of 2011, with more than 40 players listing Alabama as a school of interest.

Four of the top 10 nationally-ranked players in the country have Alabama as a favorite: Malcolm Brown, Scout.com five-star running back from Steele High School In Cibolo, Texas; Cyrus Kouandjio, five-star offensive tackle from Dematha Catholic School in Hyattsville, Md.; Christian Westerman, five-star offensive tackle from Hamilton High School in Chandler, Ariz.; and Lawrence Thomas, five-star middle linebacker from Renaissance High School in Detroit, Mich.

LB out of Georgia, Shannon Brown commits to Alabama.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

yes it is

And they got Colt McCoy's brother in this class. I am beginning to thing the UT Medical school perfected cloning about 20 years ago and now the benefits are starting to pay off for UT.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

LB Trevon Randle from Clear Springs High in League City, Texas along with WR Alonzo Lewis out of St. James committed to LSU today.

Lewis is a big sumbitch who ran a 4.39 at LSU's summer camp
Randle...6-2,205..typical Chavis LB. Should be a 4 star top 150

Randle is going to thrive in our system.

Big day for us and needed positions.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Leeds (Ala.) cornerback Jonathan Rose entered the week with offers from Alabama and Florida State.

By the time he arrived in Auburn Saturday for a visit, the 6-foot-2, 170-pounder had received one from the Tigers.

Although he's yet to make a commitment, Rose said Auburn is likely where he will end up in college.
It was the offer he was waiting for. It may be the only offer he needs.

Rose, after his visit to the Plains, said Auburn is his top school. The Tigers made a big enough impression that Rose nearly has his mind made up.

"Auburn is most likely where I will go to school," said Rose. "I liked everything about Auburn."

Nice!

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Michigan picked up #3 in this class in WR Shawn Conway out of Birmingham, Michigan. Conway is 6'4" and can go up and get it.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

LB out of Georgia, Shannon Brown commits to Alabama.

I like that kid and figured he'd commit pretty soon. Sounded like his mind was pretty much made up a week or so ago. Love his confidence.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

FSU picks up commitment number six from OL Sterling Lovelady of Pensacola, FL.

For Rick Trickett to offer him this early on he must really impress Trickett. I have no idea where he will end up ranked but given Trickett's history I'd guess he'll be ranked a 3*.
