I had to research his profile to see Keegan committed to us. I am assuming this is what Alexander meant by putting his profile on the thread.. Love big, tall TE's. Welcome and RTR Oakley.

Found the hot route guy.

For some reason I couldn’t go back in and edit the comment. Sometimes the phone works weird.

Sooner or later the money/patience will have to run out.

Exactly why this is the first time in a LONG time, and why it’ll be another long while, that I’ve been to the recruiting page. All about the Benjamin’s.

What I've read about this guy is that he catches everything thrown toward him. He has a HUGE catch radius.

One of these big TEs CKD keeps signing is going to become a star for us. It wouldn't shock me if this is not the one!

We just got a CB for 5* QB Elijah Haven and has been a heavy Bama lean for some time. Hoping he pulls the trigger soon and begins recruiting other top notch talent.

We got a commitment from Mobile 3* DL Avrian Pauley. Looks like they recruited him to play inside with a frame that can add some weight. Welcome and RTR Avrian.

his offer list reflects a player that most high profile program want and that is more telling that any ranking at this point. he has a frame that can add good weight and muscle to play inside. his HS coach said Bama likes him to bulk up and move him inside. always good to get a kid from the Mobile area.

at this point, it's almost a forgone conclusion that Haven is heading to Tuscaloosa.

We just got a CB for top 100 4* DL Mitchell Turner from MS. Watched some of his highlights and he is physical and has a good motor.

he's a top target at DL. Bama under DeBoer has had good success reeling DL from Mississippi which was always a challenge under Saban.

If we pull Haven, it's definitely true CKD is running an elite QB pipeline to T-town.

I love the kid from Trussville also saying it doesn't bother him if Haven comes on board too!

It's actually Thompson HS. Both outskirts of B'ham but on opposite ends.
