quietfan 233 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 There was a flurry of talk about running back McKnight a week or less ago, but I haven't heard much since...is that simply because there's been no change? Has he scheduled any announcement prior to signing day? Most assumed he was pretty much an LSU or USC lock, but the Bammers got all excited because he agreed to visit. I still lean toward the LSU/USC theory, but then it wasn't too long ago that Davis was all LSU and down on Saban... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinCrimson 61 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I like the idea of such a highly touted, out of state player showing interest in us, but I think he's a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaGrad03 146 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 He's announcing Tuesday, I believe.... You are thinking of McNeil...who originally had it down to AU and FSU. But he said his visit to UA was so good this weekend, that he's cancelled his announcement date, as he has "things to think about" now. As far as McKnight is concerned, he will visit the weekend of Feb 2nd. So I doubt he announces much before signing day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a big ego trip on your part bg.... I know you love to think that uat can just take whoever they want, but that isn't reality. I know you think that uat is the greatest thing in the entire world and that they invented the game of football....but please leave your ego behind when you venture in here. UAT is no better than anybody else, and its time you realized that...and quit building them up as the greatest of everything... Did he say that?? I don't know...don't really care, but the info has no credibility when it comes from someone with their uat ego in the way.... Oh, and we all know what will happen if/when he decides to go to Auburn or FSU.....uaters will come around and say how you really didn't want him at bammer anyway..

Tigerbait2010 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Mcknight had a GREAT visit according to many LSU analysts. At this point, its looking like LSU with the location, and wanting family to watch him play. At this point: LSU- 50% USC-45% Bammers-5% Sorry bammers, but it looks like you guys got into the race WAY too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 146 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I think its LSU for McKnight. He was way up on USC before this Reggie Bush stuff. Now he's backed off considerably. And PCola, I was merely quoting McNeil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmnstr 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 And PCola, I was merely quoting McNeil. he did have a point though. your smugness rating is absolutely off the charts. let's see what daddy nick has done thus far... LOST: 4-star QB Robert Marve(Miami) 4-star WR Jermaine McKenzie(Miami) 4-star DE Kortnie Brown(Still undecided) 3-star DT Lemarcus Williams(Ole Miss) GAINED: 4-star DT Luther Davis 4-star Backflipper Kerry Murphy (who would have come even if shula were still there) 4-star RB Demetrius Goode 3-star QB Nick Fanuzzi 0-star TE Chris Underwood just about breaking even. it is certainly impressive that he's getting so many to look his way, but until signing day, i wouldn't keep honking so hard. getting visits is jack squat.

What was "smug" about his post? Quoting what McNeil says is all of the sudden smug b/c it doesn't benefit you? And, yes, we want McNeil. And unlike your fans with Davis and Corley, we won't be toting out the "we didn't want him anyway" line. Yeah, we want McNeil. Badly. Lost? McKenzie left 'Bama wayyyyy before Saban came. And yes, I would have loved to have gotten McKenzie because he looked to be a great player. Marve was told to take a hike. Whether that is in the press is not the question. It's pretty obvious that Saban cut him loose in favor of Fanuzzi. "But, Marve is rated 4 slots higher!!" Yes, I know. But to Saban, stars don't mean crap. See: signing of Underwood. Luther Davis? We went into West Monroe, LA and nabbed a 4 star LSU committment. If LSU came into Alabama and stole Chapman from AU, I'm sure it'd be a pretty big deal as well.

Give me a break. I haven't been condescending. I haven't done much short of post facts/updates. No, I will not admit that we have to cheat to get a 4 star kid who LIVES in Alabama. Not when we have top 5 facilities, a coach who has a recent national title ring and two sec champ rings, a coach who is KNOWN for putting DBs in the NFL, and a coach who coaches DBs HIMSELF... I think it is YOU who are being SMUG and arrogant to think that there's no way anyone would ever pick Alabama over Auburn without Bama paying them.

SouthLink02 8 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 As I have said before, if he goes anywhere but LSU or USC, I would be shocked. Bama will put up a good fight but come up too little, too late, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
