This kid is taking a visit. Makes me wonder if we know we are missing out on Foster. Seems like a good pickup but is rehabbing a knee injury. There is an article on al.com on him. 4* and previous USCw commit but wants to be an early enrollee.

Re: Eldridge Massington
This is getting in on a kid we wanted before he committed to USCW. High character kid that can play. Only reason he is at 147 in 24/7 rankings is because he tore his ACL at a camp. (this should show you how good he really is) 6'3" 200 and ran his junior year a 10.5 10.6 100 meter. Lastly, he is a EE and will only come if he can do that to continue rehabbing his knee. Foster is still status quo Big lead.

Kid was interviewed on a certain radio program in Bham this evening. Sounds like a class act and named us a favorite, but said he will still make a few other visits. Would we take BOTH him and Foster?

Re: Eldridge Massington
So, I'm with you on how important anyone that can return punts well could be. That's not impossible either, there are 5 teams with over a 15 yard average on punt returns (including Missouri) and Florida St. has returned 37 punts for an average of 14.49 yards and 3 TDs.
If Alabama can take turn special teams into a weapon again they'll be nearly unstoppable.
I'm not sure if the team really needs kickoff return guy so much as a punt return guy. Alabama is 10.18 on punt return yardage this year with 0 TDs. Contrast that to Javy who averaged 14.0 in his Alabama career with 7 TDs and that's a pretty big difference. Imagine what the team could do with an average of four extra yards per punt return...

Our receiving corps is banged up, sure. But against Georgia, only one player consistently got open against UGA. Every year we've tried to upgrade the overall talent in the passing game. Why stop now?

Re: Eldridge Massington
My only concern here is if we have room. I figure we only have 6 or 7 spots available. I think we take him if we can fit him. It also excites me that USC commits are falling off. I hope the program blows up in Kiffin's face.

Re: Eldridge Massington
So he is supposed to know by Wednesday whether or not we have a slot open for January. Had a food visit by all accounts.

Re: Eldridge Massington
Him and the OL Knevel from Canada were both told they have offers. Both also want to enroll in Jan and were told they will know by Wednesday if possible. Sounds like both want to join the Tide.

Re: WR Eldridge Massington Updates
Looks like we can and probably will get him provided that we can find a spot for him to enroll early.
Numbers crunch is going to be close, though. We've already got several early enrollments lined up, and we are still courting Brandon Hill too.
