    Thats great for Anderson, happy for him with all the impressive camps and all-star games he balled out in. Having said that, i'm not sure how you can give him a fifth star and not give one to Amari Cooper. I mean, the kid balled out at the UA game and was getting huge momentum during the stretch run of his high school season. Just looked like a five star player to me i guess coffee . Any body else think so?

    If he's really a 5*, he'll come in and start day one next year.

    I think he's our 2nd best commitment behind Collins.

    Tbh there not just stars. I'm at the point in recruiting where I'm still following it but it's not that big a deal unless he's a top 10 overall prospect.

    I think college football fans but way to much stock into stars. For instance Tyler Love was a five star but the only thing he achieved five star status in was partying

    Then you have Dareus who was a 3 and became a top NFL pick

    If Coach wants him then I'm cool with it

    At Jack? Nope. Won't happen. Kids gotta put some more weight and muscle on.

    Since Jack is the hybrid end spot he really is just a super DE and it's so hard for true freshman to come in and get playing time mainly because they aren't big enough yet

    I remember arguing with another Bama fan this summer about Pettway. The only reason Dareus got playing time as a true freshman was because we were thin at DL in 08 and he got in towards the end of the year

    At Bama 5* LBs are the rule, not the exception. They also get better with time. So, he will probably see the field but he will not be a starter until he earns it with big boy socks on.

  • He will have to beat out Dickson and Hubbard, not likely. Kid will not rs though, I think he will be a demon on special teams and maybe play situationally ala DePreiest, Upshaw there freshman years.

    Cooper, I think will play a lot next year unless Shinn and Woodson have progressed big time.

    Dareus had major grade issues. Soon as we signed him Tim Watts called him the steal of our class. Ryan got the same title from Tim when he committed.

  • If any on you actually believe that Ryan Anderson is the 19th best player in the country, and a 5 star recruit then some of yall are dumber than you look. Not saying he wont be alright but the reason real behind recruiting him was largely because he's boys with TJY.

    Seriously? And I assume you believe the only reason we recruited Lester was to get Julio?? Ryan Anderson will be behind Xavier Dickson when he first comes in at the Jack spot so I'm not saying that he'll be a superstar day 1 - its hard to do that at Bama when we're loaded like we are. BUT to say that we only went after him to get TJY is beyond ridiculous.

    Anderson is a stud, had a great senior season, is an in-state kid, and will eventually be a great guy on D for us.

    Edit: unless you're trolling us. if thats the case - well done.

  • Anderson is a good looking player.

    Not surprised Black dropped to a 4*. He was overrated as a 5* to begin with.

    No bumps to 5*'s.

    Humphries, Bullard, Poole, and Taylor were all bumped up in the rankings.

    No complaints from me. Bullard should probably be a 5*, but it's not that big of a deal. I'm happy with where we stand, given the # of players we have committed, and the guys we have left on our board.

    You are just a flipping moron that never disappoints.

    Did Trent Richardson start from day 1? Did Dre Kirkpatrick? Did Marcel Dareus? Did Mark Ingram? Did Mark Barron? Did Courtney Upshaw? Did DJ Fluker? Did Nico Johnson?

    I can go on and on. You see, the best thing about playing in a great program is that even your most talented freshmen can be groomed and don't have to be thrown into the starting lineup immediately. Whether or not Anderson starts next year means nothing as to his ability because we have the best returning LB corp in America.

    He dominated the AL/MS game and by both your mods and ours was the most disruptive player on the AL team.

  • Ryan Anderson has been committed for quite some time. May have committed before Yeldon verballed to AU. So I think you are wrong and I believe the staff offered him after he was at the UA camp. Coach's eye

  • Amari Cooper was a crazy jump from Unranked to 56th

    Completely wrong. Big time recruit. Glad he's ours.

    At least a couple of these happen every year after the all star games.

    Shon Coleman started out a 3-star a few years ago and after the all star games jumped up to a 5.

    There isn't a better evaluating tool at the analysts disposal than these all star games. They can actually compare these guys head to head.
