Mackensie Alexander picked up an offer from Alabama today. He talked to one of our Rivals guys and told him he was pretty pumped up about it. They are definitely a team to watch moving forward.

| Kids love attention. Nothing too groundbreaking there. | |

| Keep em coming. Just like others have offered Fuller and we haven't. Feels good to have great players on the line again. |

| Alexander isn't the caliber of player Rivals can get away with underrating because of his committment to UT. He is elite. I think he ends up a 5* player on Rivals. At the very least a high 4*. Top 3 CB. Offers from everybody in the country. He will be ranked high. | |

I liked him when HG made a list of Dbs to watch. Haven't seen a better CB yet. | |

Recruiting is a roller coaster. You are either chasing everyone else for a recruit, or hanging on the edge until signing day. Enjoy the ride.  | |

It is nice for a change to have an elite player already committed instead of trying to convince them to change there mind. IMO if UT wins 8 or 9 games and beats FL finally, a top 5 class is a real possibility.

| Great problem to have... if we aren't going head to head with Alabama in recruiting battles we will never be able to have a championship caliber team. Here's to winning a lot of these battles! | |

Enjoy the ride. | If we were the only team that wanted him 9 times out of 10 he was no good to begin with. Feels good to be in on so many big time recruits this year. TW we're about to have quite a few battles this year. Would wish you luck but I just can't do it. | |

| This is where UT needs to be. Battling with Bama for recruits is a great sign for the program...
