I bet the coaches wish now they would have taken those two. We did not have to have an OT from this class ready to play i 2018 and Goss had great potential. He was a TE in high school so he played a little high but he had very good athletic ability and was 6'6" and could have put on good weight. Anyway, water under the bridge. That's where a coaching staff gets in the "dammed if you do, dammed if you don't" situation. Had we taken the commitments of those two and then Walker, Langham, Chase and Ross all wanted to come to AU we would have had room for only two of them. It's a high stakes gamble that sucks when you roll snake eyes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeek 16,650 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Although, I think it would be nice to roll a spot back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagle2423 357 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I would like to add a transfer OT, whether it be a graduate transfer or undergrad transfer, and roll one back. I wouldn't be opposed to rolling both back and going heavy on OT next year though. Seems like we've gotten off to a good start in building relationships with the '19 class. Having 27 slots could be a blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having 27 slots could be a blessing. Two of the top players in Alabama, next year are OTs. One has already committed to bama, but as we saw today, they are no longer invincible when it comes to stealing their commits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Bo Nix in the fold for us early should help us with them and other Olinemen. Knowing you'll have an elite quarterback to block for should be a major selling point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 33,982 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 We have a great class. Time to get to work. Quite a bit question marks for next season. This is when the coaching staff earns those paychecks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My note beside Character is : "Kicked off team, 5-18-'17". I hardly think that's a mistake on our part. Gus usually gives second and sometimes third chances before a player gets the boot. Hope he's grown up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why sign a TE when they don't fit into the offense? If it helps your feelings any, signee Joiner was signed as a TE/HB player. He's a great receiver out of the backfield and fits our offense better than a true TE would. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
