Atleast Saban is being honest with the kids about his intentions. Having said that he is probably lying his ass off by telling them they project to the nfl at the position he tells them. All the while he simply stockpiles and discards.

probably all coaches that recruit highly ranked kids tell them what position they project best for the NFL. based on Saban's track record of getting kids to the league, im sure these kids would take Saban's opinion over most.

good lil short story: Mark Barron was recruited by Auburn and some other schools to play RB and almost went that route. Most recruited him at LB and safety but Saban told him safety was his best projected position, Saban stood by that and risked losing him instead of lying to him about having an opportunity to play RB. we see how that turned out.

Spoke with someone who tells me Alvin Kamara has been receptive to the idea of playing WR at Bama. Now, what I don't know is this: Would it be a part time or full-time role at WR? In other words, at Bama would Kamara be a hybrid guy -- a-la Percy Harvin. OR would he be a full-timer at WR? Can't answer that right now.

The source says they believe the Tide is probably at the top, along with Clemson.

FWIW surprised no mention of UGA in there.

Of course the source you post will have 'Bama' at the top. As usual, more guessing from guys 'in the know'

If that was true why did Henry come to UA camp play HB/TE his whole time, go home and a few days later decommit from UGA, and after that was posting on his twitter about running routes and catching balls on his twitter. No different than Bo Scarbrough next year. He has said in some articles he will only talk to schools that are recruiting him as RB, but now in every article says he sees himself as a WR at UA. He also on Sat in the drills at the 5 star challenge only participated as a WR, but he is listed as a RB and early top 10 player for 2014.

Sometimes no matter what these kids think they should play, the coaches actually have a better idea. And why does it matter. If Saban recruits a kid to play one position and the kid does not want, oh well they can go elsewhere. But Saban is telling these kids up front this so if they decide to do it that is their choice. He is not telling them hey we want you as a RB. Interviews with both Henry and Kamara show they both know what Saban is recruiting them at.

UA does not need 4 RBs in this class, and because some fans are delusional and think Saban would take 4 RBs tro keep other teams from getting them is also foolish. We are tight on our spots and are recruiting specifically per position and needs.

And in the end we may get niether, both, or one.

So citing other examples of kids tweeting or de-committing because of a potential position opening at Bama is concrete evidence that any of these kids goes to Bama. Nice, let me have what you are having!

Can I have some of what you are smoking. I could care less what Kamara is reading and have no clue if he is reading this board. I post what is being reported. Take that issue with the sites.

Every school including UT wants to get the best players in their program. Why else do they recruit so hard and spend so much on recruiting. It is not rocket science. My comment about taking players is some AU fans think we take players to keep them from going to other places, as some other fan bases, which is just foolish. Yes if you have unlimited scholarships that would make since but each team only has 85.

In regards to players transferring you might want to research better before posting. UA has more players tranferring just to get more playing time than being dismissed. Again no issue Saban only putting the best players on the field and helping the dead weight look for a better option. It benefits both. And regarding those sorry Saban does not keep kids with off the field issues on the team as much as other programs.

Saban is such a saint. Ain't He? (Note Capitalization):no:

I saw that. Not sure how much I believe it though. Could y'all be out front? Definitely. But I just see this being a Bama/UGA battle, not Bama/Clemson.

The Percy Harvin stuff is crap, y'all aren't going to run the spread and everyone knows that. Saban isn't going to trust any QB more than he trusts an off tackle run. Especially with Yeldon in the backfield, kid seems to be a beast.

I agree about Clemson. that is the first time I have seen them mentioned as a threat to anyone for him, but Dabo got RN and now Adams is visiting. Have no clue what is going on there.

Orange Venom also said in the Ryan Jenkins thread that he will most likely announce for Clemson at The Opening.

I hope Auburn brings them down off their high horse on September 1st...hopefully some recruits' eyes will be opened.

Not because I am a UA fan but actually hope AU gets hammered in that game. If they do not have a great season they will miss on more than they get. It would also help teams like UT who are chasing Lawson. AU loses CGM after a rough season. Easy to make excuses one season but 2 in a row especially after recently winning the NC.

It would be awesome to be able to negative recruit against Trooper. Turnabout is fair play after all.:)
