I can't wait to see him play RB in college and I hope he is wearing Crimson when he does it.

So what's the word, has he committed yet? I was under the impression that he had yet to do so but this article claims he's heading to headed to Bama.

"Turpenny is ranked No. 46 in the MaxPreps Top 100 and Henry is No. 11. Both are headed to Alabama."

Looks like a blog more than an article.

Re: ATH Derrick Henry Updates ('Bama Leads)

If we get Henry next year does it affect our chance with Bo Scarb?

Re: ATH Derrick Henry Updates ('Bama Leads)

I personally think BO will not be a RB. He has Julio Jones written everywhere on him but his jersey. Picture this......Cooper Bateman, TJ Yeldon, Bo Scarborough, Chris Black, Amari Cooper, OJ Howard lining up on offense. Never in Alabama's history has something that dimensional stepped on the field.

Add Eddie Williams, Cyrus Jones, Tenpenny and hopefully Derrick Henry.

For all the twitter watchers out there... Henry said today "Think I might make my decision earlier!" "Thinking next month, So I can focused on season & school cause I'm graduating early & get everything over with."

Word is he will announce Aug 20th sometime. He and D. Walker were hanging out per twitter. Would love to get both of them.

Re: ATH Derrick Henry Updates ('Bama Leads)

Maybe he'll move his announcement up earlier as in when Walker makes his. That would be huge to have two possible 5*s commit to UA at the same time.

I hope this kid commits! He's a real force at RB. Would love to watch him tote it at the Capstone.

Things could change, naturally, but right now, I anticipate both committing in August...

Re: ATH Derrick Henry Updates ('Bama Leads)

For the time being there is no real concern with Henry. We lead for him now, and have for quite some time. If NSD were tomorrow, he would sign with 'Bama, period.

Of course, the problem is that NSD is a long way from tomorrow, and he has ample time to change his mind between now and February. He has gone back and forth before, and may do so between now and dotted line time. Looking good for now, though.

Re: ATH Derrick Henry Updates ('Bama Leads)

Great info. Thanks all. Is there any concern that Tenpenny will decommit if Henry commits? Thanks again. rtr
