Jan 31, 2015 9:16 AM - Eric: Good morning.
Jan 31, 2015 9:18 AM - Golden Balaam: good morning Eric do all of our current ccommitment look solid?
Jan 31, 2015 9:19 AM - Eric: I do not expect anyone to flip as of now, would surprise me if anyone did.
Jan 31, 2015 9:21 AM - Golden Balaam: thanks for the info as always you do a great job.
Jan 31, 2015 9:21 AM - Eric: of course, and thanks!
Jan 31, 2015 9:22 AM - Southpaw13: Good morning Eric! Have any updates on Vic?
Jan 31, 2015 9:23 AM - Eric: Was told that he is short...5'8 or 5'9 at best.
Jan 31, 2015 9:23 AM - Eric: Lynn Griffin is his host.
Jan 31, 2015 9:23 AM - seedjckt: Good morning
Jan 31, 2015 9:24 AM - Southpaw13: Thanks, I hope we find a way to fit him in!
Jan 31, 2015 9:24 AM - Eric: He has a spot if he wants it.
Jan 31, 2015 9:24 AM - Southpaw13: Are there any other guys out there we are hoping for that aren't public?
Jan 31, 2015 9:25 AM - seedjckt: How tall is PJ Davis and Tre in comparison?
Jan 31, 2015 9:26 AM - Eric: Both are taller, PJ a couple of inchers taller.
Jan 31, 2015 9:27 AM - Eric: Not that I am aware of.
Jan 31, 2015 9:27 AM - Scot Waldrop: Jesse Tuggle and Sam Mills were pretty good NFL linebackers and neither were very tall
Jan 31, 2015 9:28 AM - Longestday: How are we fitting in this number of recruits
Jan 31, 2015 9:28 AM - Southpaw13: Who are the 5 guys you are post excited about in this class, everyone? For me, it's Will Bryan, Anree, Lands-Davis, AJ Gray and Christian Campbell
Jan 31, 2015 9:29 AM - Eric: Tuggle is a couple of inches taller, he is a lot closer to Mills than Tuggle.
Jan 31, 2015 9:29 AM - Longestday: Is there a log jam at AB coming?
Jan 31, 2015 9:29 AM - Eric: Fwiw, I am not arguing if Vic is good or not. The tape answers that question.
Jan 31, 2015 9:29 AM - Scot Waldrop: QB's and Defenders!
Jan 31, 2015 9:30 AM - Eric: if we get Vic we will be over @longest...I am aware of one that plans to leave. That is all though. Am sure the staff knows.
Jan 31, 2015 9:30 AM - Southpaw13: TaQuon and Dorian can move away from AB and play defense... a few will play this year and a few will redshirt. THey will scatter out.
Jan 31, 2015 9:31 AM - Eric: @southpaw Anree, Wigley, Henderson, AJ and Marshall.
Jan 31, 2015 9:31 AM - Longestday: If 2 move out I see the balance
Jan 31, 2015 9:31 AM - Eric: @longest as someone else said I am not concerned about that..we will spread it out over two classes...Wont take many Rbs at all next year.
Jan 31, 2015 9:32 AM - Longestday: Only lose Snoddy after next year right?
Jan 31, 2015 9:32 AM - Southpaw13: Yes and "gain" JJ Green, so next year we'll have the same number of guys there.
Jan 31, 2015 9:34 AM - Nook Su Kow: AJ, Anree, Wigley, Will, and Marcus Marshall
Jan 31, 2015 9:34 AM - Longestday: I guess I am assuming Snoddy comes back as strong as last year and heals mind and body over the injury
Jan 31, 2015 9:36 AM - Longestday: Eric and word on Snoddy?
Jan 31, 2015 9:36 AM - Scot Waldrop: How much does Anrer weigh? Keep hearing he's light?
Jan 31, 2015 9:36 AM - Longestday: Any
Jan 31, 2015 9:36 AM - seedjckt: Who will be the main WR? Will JT target more than 1 WR?
Jan 31, 2015 9:37 AM - Eric: Anree you mean?
Jan 31, 2015 9:37 AM - Scot Waldrop: Yes
Jan 31, 2015 9:37 AM - Eric: Snoddy is walking around and moving fine...progressed really well.
Jan 31, 2015 9:37 AM - Eric: Anree is in the 240 range...he can carry a lot more though.
Jan 31, 2015 9:38 AM - Eric: Summers, Jeune, Philpott, Howell, etc will be fighting for that.
Jan 31, 2015 9:38 AM - Scot Waldrop: Why are some saying he's light? Seems bigger than the DE recruits last year
Jan 31, 2015 9:38 AM - Eric: Who is saying hes light?
Jan 31, 2015 9:41 AM - mts315: Eric, is Messick that far behind the others? He has been in the program a couple of years and seems to have the measurables.
Jan 31, 2015 9:43 AM - Eric: I just didnt list him but he is raw, he made a great catch against NC State for example but that route was awful.
Jan 31, 2015 9:49 AM - AlabamaBuzz: Height/reach help when having to pass cover, but other than that, it is not that big of a deal. I will say our LB's the last few years have not been great at pass cover...so hopefully, that will improve
Jan 31, 2015 9:50 AM - Southpaw13: Why is route running something thats hard to pick up? That seems like it would be one of the easiest things to learn about being a receiver. I've never played receiver so I'm speaking from ignorance.
Jan 31, 2015 9:50 AM - Eric: Fwiw Tim B is hosting Calvin...I mean Brad.
Jan 31, 2015 9:51 AM - SouthernJacket: Eric got Brad Stewart jokes now lol
Jan 31, 2015 9:51 AM - AlabamaBuzz: Who was the surprise that PJ was going to run out during the Friday night trip to the restaurant? Or did Dr. Jacket make that up?
Jan 31, 2015 9:53 AM - AlabamaBuzz: His quote from the thread was, "And, I have it on good authority that CPJ is trotting out a secret weapon in his recruiting just for tonight."
Jan 31, 2015 9:53 AM - Eric: He just said CPJ was trotting out a "secret weapon" which he did...I am not going to post who out of respect but it's not a former NFL player or anything like that.
Jan 31, 2015 9:53 AM - AlabamaBuzz: OK....wonder why posting it would be disrespectful? that is weird...oh well
Jan 31, 2015 9:54 AM - AlabamaBuzz: Does PJ use the NFL guys some? I think that is very effective,
Jan 31, 2015 9:55 AM - Sean311: When does spring practice start?
Jan 31, 2015 9:55 AM - Eric: Because if he wants it known then he will say it...I dont think its a big deal but I dont want to step on toes especially with CPJ
Jan 31, 2015 9:55 AM - Nook Su Kow: Yall see BayBays Courtyard commercial?
Jan 31, 2015 9:55 AM - AlabamaBuzz: gotcha
Jan 31, 2015 9:55 AM - Eric: I havent seen the schedule yet.
Jan 31, 2015 9:56 AM - Eric: yes we use the NFL guys during the Summer.
Jan 31, 2015 9:56 AM - Southpaw13: Eric what are your thoughts on the 2015 schedule? Some tough games for us next year!
Jan 31, 2015 9:56 AM - AlabamaBuzz: Thanks, Eric
Jan 31, 2015 9:57 AM - AlabamaBuzz: A CEO would also be a great recruiting tool....
Jan 31, 2015 9:57 AM - Eric: "it is what it is:...but really it isnt too bad. Some things that I dont like but I do like starting off with two easy games..only VT has a bye week before us. Tough games but we will see what happens.
Jan 31, 2015 9:58 AM - Eric: You would be surprised at what impresses a typical 18 year old and what doesnt.
Jan 31, 2015 9:58 AM - AlabamaBuzz: It would have been hard to create a schedule for us , with ND, FSU, Clem'sSon, UGAG, VT, UM, that everyone liked...it is definitely acceptable
Jan 31, 2015 9:59 AM - Eric: It could be a lot worse.
Jan 31, 2015 9:59 AM - Southpaw13: I get so irritated that Duke seems to get such an easy schedule year in and year out. they suck.
Jan 31, 2015 9:59 AM - AlabamaBuzz: Well, Eric, I work in my church with them, so no, I probably would not. I also do stats for local high school BB teams, so I kind of know what you are saying
Jan 31, 2015 10:00 AM - Southpaw13: I do like that most of the teams have a challenging conference opponent the week before they play us. That is a positive.
Jan 31, 2015 10:00 AM - AlabamaBuzz: And, I do SAT/ACT tutoring with high school kids almost every week
Jan 31, 2015 9:18 AM - Golden Balaam: good morning Eric do all of our current ccommitment look solid?
Jan 31, 2015 9:19 AM - Eric: I do not expect anyone to flip as of now, would surprise me if anyone did.
