Raekwon?

[Tripp McNeely]

How confident are we about him in Maroon...and if so, why and what's the timeline? I've got a Bammer buddy who's convinced he'll stick...and everything I've heard says the opposite

[Ifyouonlyknew]

We're quietly confident. He's not 100% committed to Bama & has said as much repeatedly. Don't expect him to flip anytime soon more than likely an OV type thing in January.

He'll be a dawg in the end, I'm quite confident in saying that. Think Benito Jones, Leo Lewis, etc. type situation.

Bama starts filling the pockets of MS recruits early in the process which inevitably leads to a subsequent commitment from said recruit. Only later on in the process they figure out where they really want to go. This is not speculation, might I add.

I think you're probably right, RH... Especially when one considers the commitment of Kendall Jones a couple months ago...

A friend of mine was recruited by Bear Byrant and he stills brags about it. I guess I would too.

Can you say who it was, Jack?

I've heard Rosebowl say the same thing...they offer guys early to keep them from looking or taking visits elsewhere. Then when they see who they really want later on down the road, then they cool things off with said recruit & leave him hanging out to dry.

[Bothrops]

I don't see Raekwon at Bama. I think they will cool off on him later.

[Gordon Gekko]

I don't follow recruiting at all. When I clicked on this thread I thought it was about one of the Wu Tang Clan guys.
