Then a bunch of 2012 recruits:

  3. Trae Elston
  4. Michael Flint
  5. Justin Shanks
  6. Caleb Gulledge
  7. Justin Thomas
  8. Reggie Ragland

Any updates please add in the thread. Should be a huge weekend. Hearing Jeremy Hill, Q Bray, and 2012 D Ball. I like Bray but have not heard much about our chances with him lately. Some talk on Ball would not be surprised to hear him commit soon.

ANDREW BONE: Alabama welcomes recruits for weekend | TideSports.com
Isaac Luatua, Scout.com three-star offensive guard from La Mirada High School in Calif., will take his official visit this weekend

A couple a Peach Staters who are household names include Isaiah Crowell, Scout.com five-star running back from Carver High School in Columbus and Jay Rome, five-star tight end from Valdosta High School remain uncommitted. Crowell likes the home-state school at this point, but Alabama remains in the top two. Rome has Alabama and Georgia at the top of his list.

I've seen a lot more names mentioned on another site, but there was no link so I decided not to post them.

Scout has Auburn commitments Anthony Swain and Jonathon Rose coming to the PSU game. I don't know what to think about it. Considering Rose is ALL Awburn, I'd rather not see him amongst our other recruits on such a big weekend. On the other hand, the atmosphere will be better than anything Awburn could put up, so maybe when he whispers in another recruits ear: "You should think about AU," the other recruit will reply "Are you kidding me? Are you watching the same game I am?"

I dunno...

Interesting. Is it an official or unofficial visit for them?

I would expect our staff are certainly aware of Swain and Rose and measures will be taken to minimize anything negative they can come up with.

After watching UGA and Bama today I just don't know how Crowell couldn't be all Crimson. Seriously... He just watched our 'back-up' RB (if you want to call him that) put up over 100 yards on PSU in the first half!

Any news on how the visits went for all the recruits that were at the game especially Isaiah Crowell? I saw on Rivals that he was amazed but I couldn't get any more info because I am not a member. I'm assuming all of them went great because the crowd noise was amazing and all the hype around the team was huge. How could you not love to wear crimson now-a-days?

The crowd noise/atmosphere and how we used TR seemed important to Crowell. I honestly don't see how any RB wouldn't want to play for us considering how we use multiples and how dominant our OL is becoming. I mean our 2nd string RB was on the cover of SI...how many schools can claim that?

Hill really enjoyed his Bama visit. He says he has not opened up his recruitment but he really enjoyed the game and the atmosphere in BDS.

Crowell said the game was amazing and that Bama and UGA are tied at the top as his top schools. He plans to make his decision on NSD after taking his official visits. As I have said before I really like Bama's chances of landing Crowell.

I run through it over and over again and I just don't see a realistic scenario where Crowell ends up at UGA. By realistic, I mean that UGA is about to have another poor year and Richt will most likely be gone. Even if he's doesn't get fired, the contrast of that is us doing extremely well (whether we win the NC or not) and having 2 of the best RB's in the country where Crowell could be the premier back by his Sophomore year.

If Crowell didn't like us in the beginning, then I wouldn't be so confident... but c'mon... I guess things could change...

I agree and even though UGA is the in state school, UA is closer to his home by a just a little bit if proximity to his home town comes into play. Not to mention his old HS teammate Dequan Menzie plays for Bama.
