Link: DE Adrian Hubbard Update (11/2): Hubbard has an Alabama offer

[time_4_the_TIDE]

I heard about this last week and me and BET were throwing this back and forth. This guy has apparently had a monster SR year and has kinda come out of nowhere. I was trying to PM Surfer before I posted this to make sure it wasn't rumor last week but never could get in touch with him. Apparently Saban wants this guy. Hubbard and Moseley at LB would put this class over the top IMO. Adrian we welcome you with open arms if you decide BAMA is your choice.

He's 6-7, 227lbs and runs a 4.45. Yeah, thats awesome. After watching his highlights, he looks very impressive. He'll be at Bama for the LSU game...i'd love if we could make a big-time impression on this guy.

 

[HELENKELLERMRI]

Coach wants him then he must have skillz. Sounds like Deion Belue. Nobody heard of him boom Saban wants him so does everyone else. Seen Belue he definitly has skillz. Just about every kick-off gets returned for a td.:BigA:

You don't get an offer from Saban, especially when we have such limited room, if he doesn't think you are good or fit within his scheme. Getting an offer this yr, as full as we are already, he must be a heck of an athlete and I hope he chooses us. Good luck to him either way and Roll Tide!!!

 

[Saban14]

One thing about CNS is he is probably the best judge of talent in the country. He knows how to break down film, judge a kids character/work ethic, and most importantly judge his potential. Obviously, if this kids stats are true, than his potential is unlimited. In our defensive scheme, having a guy with 4.45 speed off the corner is huge! Hope we and him.

 

[time_4_the_TIDE]

I hope Kirby can close with guy. Having his size and speed opposite of Dareus could be huge....has the potential to be "The Bookends Part 2".

 

[bonehouse81]

It's amazing how guys like this kind of "come out of nowhere." My guess is he probably put on a good bit of weight after last season, because when you look at his film now, with the way he moves and size of his frame, he looks like he's got an NFL ceiling.

 

[Harmost]

Look like a very talented prospect. He's got some technique issues (plays too high), judging by that reel up top, but his size-athletic combo is a hard one to come by.

What does this say about us and Gabe King though?

 

[Mystical]

Looks like Clemson is the front runner right now according to rivals

Don't forget about Alfy Hill...I cannot wait to see him coming off the edge.

Yeah USC was the first of the SEC schools to offer and as soon as we offer he gets that phone call from Clemson with an offer. I really hate that school

Blake has a Dabo Sweeney MAN-CRUSH.....just messing with ya.

King is the DE that moved to Eugene, Oregon from NC correct? Yeah, he's a Duck.

Yes, that is him. However, I'm not sure that's a done deal yet. The Ducks great season obviously will play a factor, but I think Keenan Allen, and possibly Alfy Hill, will still be in his ear until the end.

Hubbard looks like Alfy Hill pt. 2 IMO, only taller. Once he hits a college weight room and fills out his frame the kid could be scary good!

 

[time_4_the_TIDE]

We have gotten better at rushing the passer....but I'll take all the speed rushers we can get. Having a 2-3 deep DE who can all get it done would be a strength and headache for opposing OL's. Having a DL that wears down the opposing OL and an OL who wears down opposing DL equals trench dominance and title runs.

 

[elizabama74]

I will say, that young man can read and react as well as anyone that big!

:biggrin:

 

[Rasputin]

As one poster stated, the kid seems to play WAY too high, but that is something that can be corrected.

As for this kid coming out of nowhere...as stated in an article, he didn't play his Junior year, therefore many didn't see him as a football prospect, (basketball?).

I would love to see this guy in crimson, looks to have a high ceiling, give a guy like this a redshirt year and a year or two in our weight room/conditioning program, and you could be looking at an All-American type player, IMHO.

We shall see.
