ellitor 33,108 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Keith Neihbur changed his prediction to AU this morning... interesting... Wow great input Niebuhr changed it back to Alabama immediately after SDH tweeted 100% Bama which means that Niebuhr does not have any inside info on this one... Keith also said he is very confused on SDH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,108 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I looked at his twitter and couldn't find the tweet that said he was 100x committed. If he deleted that would be very interesting. Does he have more than 1 account?? He did not tweet ir. It was a quote from him tweeted by Bonehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU Counsel 64 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'd be happy to take either or both. Looking at our current roster, I'm for all the top notch LB and DB prospects we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhiz7 273 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 It seems like we have been in dire need to LB's for....5, 6 years now? Are we ever going to get caught up at this position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why we have under-recruited the LB position is a question nobody seems to know the answer to. THAT we have under-recruited LB, both in numbers and quality is undeniable. We'll need to sign four to five outstanding prospects a year for at least three years to get up to top-rung SEC talent levels at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll need to sign four to five outstanding prospects a year for at least three years to get up to top-rung SEC talent levels at LB. I believe it is a supply issue. Just not enough kids in HS playing LB that have size and speed for Div 1. Generally the 6-2/210 guys are in the line at most high schools and the typical HS linebacker is not big or fast enough for Div 1 and the few future Div 1 kids are recruited by everyone in the world. In the old days, colleges developed their own linebackers....and that might still be a common practice at most schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe after Tubberville left it was a combination of philosophy and development. Tubberville would take the smaller lbs but coach and develop them into quality players. Chiziks staff continued to get smallish lbs but lacked the development of Tubbervilles staff. Combine that with what was/is going on at bammer with their lb play and development, all the elite lbs want to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Plainsman 948 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Maybe we do not have room for this young man?? he's a take. There's room. But for how long? Not second guess you E, but unless A. Williams is out, and with and with D.Russell possible, as well as us offering new DE recently, I am just not sure.... Let me put it this way.... The window has to be closing quickly IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this will change after prospects watched CJ Mosley wander around looking for someone to tackle in the Iron Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU Counsel 64 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 We missed out on Foster, CJ Mosely, Johnston, and several other linebackers over the last few years. UAT has killed us in linebacker recruiting. Keep in mind that LB Justin Garrett was our spring defensive MVP and missed this whole season due to injury. Holland was a four star, as were McKinzy and Mitchell. And Frost was a five star. Some guys haven't panned out (or been developed), and we missed out on some. This year will be different.
