Morning guys

Korren Kirven's visit went REALLY well. By all accounts he heard what he needed and the staff feels extremely confident on landing him on NSD, Saban has an in home he will take this week to Va before he takes his last OV to Va Tech. Indications are he was very close to commiting and told his mom he wouldn't yet until him and his family talk it over. Does this new development kind of squeeze out Goldman? It might since the latest news surrounding him seems he and his family have passed all communications to a "handler" the HS coach who strangely is extremely close to FSU coach Dameyune Craig. As of this morning I have heard things have gotten so seedy in the bidding war between AU and FSU for him, Saban has pulled his offer, and there are some, namely Coach Rumph who like Kirven better because of his power and versatility, but mostly his motor and tenacity, something I think the country saw that Goldman lacked during the UA game. Kirven is 6'4 280 and pretty lean, a nice consolation for not getting down in the dirt with AU and FSU.

Where the staff is with the Winston situation...There is really a divide it seems with his dad and his personal feelings. His dad comes out with a quote this weekend saying he is solid and will sign with FSU, then Winston does an interview with al.com as soon as he got home from his OV to Tallahassee and it is vague at best and paints the picture of him being unsure with even an interesting quote concerning Bama saying "I have to decide with Bama if I want to go play for the greatest college fball program" hmmm and that picture he posted in the FSU locker room he seemed very disinterested to me, and I've met him several times he's a lively charasmatic kid and that pic he looked pissed. Just personal observations...anyway I fully expect Saban reach out to him this week and figure out where Bama stands and once this is determined the staff will make a decision on whether or not to invite and offer Cyler Miles 4* dual threat QB from Denver, Co, was recruited to UW by Coach Nussmeier, if he is offered he will commit to Bama, he is just waiting on a solid offer. He is 6'4 225 runs a 4.43 electronically timed and no threat of baseball, a MAJOR take IMHO, MVP of the US Army all American game, great talent.

Also a few possible surprise visitors this weekend for the final OV weekend before NSD, now not sure if any of these 4 will end up on campus or not but serious chatter of each of these coming in on an OV...Cyler Miles, 4* QB commited to Washington, 5* DT Mario Edwards from Texas, commited to FSU, 4* (5* talent no doubt) DE Channing Ward commited to Ole Miss, 5* WR Dorial Green-Beckham (if he shows up it will likely be very quiet on him and staff will keep it on the low since he has been a media frenzy the last 2 weeks, but he wants to come in and meet Coach Nussmeier)

Also 1 more note, both Goldman (thought at one time to be a Bama lean) and in state battle for Winston have both showed Coach D.Craig's recruiting tactics, he was hired too late to make an impact for 2012, but with Lance Thompson back at Bama...expect Craig to be totally shut out in the future and expect to see fireworks in the recruiting battles between these two...I like our chances

Nice.

Thanks, Tox.  #+

nice report  :clap:  thanks !

Nice info! Thanks!  :popcorn2:

Great update thanks!

Coach Nussmeier was at the BCS victory party at Bryant Denny stadium Saturday and introduced himself.

I got to see Winston play the last 2 seasons. He is a real talent but sounds like he is MLB bound and we have other options to sign that are top notch as well.

I heard this morning that FSU was "willing" to let him play baseball too ? 

I love driving by BDS on a winter night and seeing the lights glowing inside. You know that inside, some young man is walking out onto the field. And you think to yourself, there's some process going on up in here. Choose the process, young man. Choose the process.

Good read. Thanks Toxik

I am already getting my ice for this PC for NSD. I know it will need cooling so often for all the hot recruiting talk. lol, RTR!

Thanks, Tox!  Interesting stuff.  It would also be interesting to find out the details of the bidding war between AU and FSU, I'm sure. 

As always enjoyed the info. Roll Tide!!!!
