I saw in an interview after the game Johnnie Farms was there and he talked to CNS and said that CNS said that he really wanted him and Farms had the impression CNS would take a commitment from him right then. I know we have cooled on this guy recently so I was wondering if something changed or is Farms just playing the recruitng game and hyping himself up more?

Re: Johnnie Farms current status?

Dose this mean that we are losing ground on some of the other guys we are after? And now we are trying to get him to commit a la Antonie MCclain last year?

No, we were thought to be done at guard. Tackles Massie and Siddoway have been the hot targets.

Re: Johnnie Farms current status?

I read a couple of days ago where Farms even admitted that we'd cooled on him.

Interesting indeed. I sure wouldn't mind having him, but I really want Massie. I know they're at different positions, just sayin'

Re: Tide recruits get a taste of Bama lifestyle

Gordon sounded like he didn't want to leave Tuscaloosa.

There is so much talent down there, Gordon said of UA. They are young, but they are going to be the best team around in a couple of years. The coaches are great. Alabama is just the place to be.

Interesting comments by Johnnie Farms. Everyone had been saying that Bama had cooled on him but based on the article, sounds like CNS is still very much interested.

This is definitely an interesting development. If CNS wants Farms then I hope we get him because from what I've heard he is a beast on the line and has an impressive skill set but his height was a concern. If CNS isn't concerned with it then neither am I. What confuses me though is thought we would be done at guard with Steen and Williams. But I know at one time Steen was an academic concern so maybe CNS is looking for an extra guard in case Steen doesn't qualify or just maybe he isn't happy with the overall depth of our interior linemen that we currently have and wants to upgrade with more players. Whatever the case is Coach Saban has it under control. I do hope we get a tackle. I love Massie but would take he or Siddoway without even thinking. Either way this is shaping up to be another Stellar class by CNS. While we're on the subject anyone know how Bumphis enjoyed his visit I hadn't really heard anything.

I'll say this. As crazy as this whole thing has been with Farms, if he wants to come here he'd better ask to pull the trigger ASAP. Right about now the way his recruitment has been going he'd better get in while he's welcomed.

Is it possible that Farms is making those comments without having really talked to CNS? Maybe he's trying to subtly pressure Bama into stepping up their pursuit of him.
