Me either, which is strange considering he's a Top 3 player in the state per various services. Bama like everyone needs studs on the dl.4* Edge Jordan Ross of Vestavia Hills announcing on Monday. I have not heard much about him lately so not sure if we are in it or not.
Elite 2024 EDGE Jordan Ross narrows list, sets commitment date
Elite 2024 EDGE Jordan Ross of Birmingham (AL) Vestavia Hills High will announce his college decision on August 21st.www.on3.com
2024: Beaman, (highest rated DL in the state)
Good post. Maybe it is a case of Coach Saban and staff getting the quality players they need and realizing they will never get them all. It very well could be that the guys who get away don’t fit for whatever reason. Being “top rated” doesn’t always mean “best prospect.”
I have said before that elite D-lineman have got to the point where they want to be pass rushers and get sacks. And not just space eaters. we will be fine as long as we have Saban but when Saban retires his successor really needs to look into changing the defense, so we have more pass rushers on the line.
CNS and staff have certain qualifiers such as height, weight, speed, quickness, character, grades, etc that each player Bama recruits must have and some don't meet all the criteria. We don't get to see the recruiting board but some misses are due to not meeting the qualifiers and not truly a miss.
The main miss was Woods. Collins was plan B or C. Parker was never an option. It will be interesting to see how they fare in their college career.
I believe Woods will end up being a huge miss. I have heard reports that he is blowing up at Clemson camp.
Woods was pretty much a Bama lock as it gets, but Reverend Dabo had other plans.
Was offered as a safety. Could play star potentially. Could maybe play corner, but safety probably better fit
From his film, he appears to be really quick…
That was the case but he measured in at 5'11 at bama in July. Hit a late growth spurt per all sources close to him.
