Where do we stand with...

The Alabama coaches went to watch Upchurch play on Friday. He ran for 269 yards. He has nearly 2,300 yards rushing this year. Where do we stand with him?

I haven't heard anything from Davis out of SC. Anyone?

The other guy who blew out his knee...are we still recruiting him?

He and Ray Hudson are friends and know each other through their mother. We will get an official visit and have a very good chance. We have shown a "lot of love" in his words and is impressed.

From TI:
"FSU, Alabama, Auburn and Florida," Upchurch says when asked his favorites. "I don't have one school that is my favorite, but FSU and Alabama are recruiting me the hardest."

"Ray is a lot like me. We're both country boys," Upchurch says. "He told me that Alabama's felt like home to him ever since the first day he got there. He said the Alabama coaches treat you like a son, not just like a football player. He said they give you a lot of love."

I would love to get this kid...already a work horse in high school...

6'0, 195, 4.53...I'm willing to bet he is even quicker than that 40 time b/c his 100 meter is like 10.6 I think...come on Roy! Bama's callin!

The only negative is grades. He doesn't have them at the moment. A shame, because he's got a ton of upside. Let's hope he gets moving in the classroom.
