It's time to put all speculation aside. It's that time of year when JUCCO players sign their letters of intent and prepare to transfer to their school of interest. For the 2011 class 'Bama has two verbal commits both DT's. Those with scholarship offers include a DE and an OT. Here's a list:
Quinto Dial, 4-star DT, 6'5'' 310 lbs - Verbal Commit
Jessie Williams, 4-star DT, 6'4'' 340 lbs - Verbal Commit
Cornellius Carradine, 5-star DE, 6'5'' 245 lbs - Prospect
Aaron Douglas, 3-star OT, 6'6'' 290 lbs - Prospect
Usually coaches address positions two years in advance, but if immediate experience is needed they turn to transfers. It's very obvious Alabama needs help on the defensive line. Marcel Dareus, Luther Davis and Chavis Williams will all leave the Capstone through graduation or in Marcel's case as a junior declaring for the NFL.
Last years production on the DL left many of us scratching our heads. The Alabama coaches have keyed in on several blue chip players to help the DL become a strength in 2011. The next few weeks will give us some insight into what type of DL we'll see for 2011.
