Auburn High star Rashaan Evans is one of the few remaining uncommitted blue chip prospects from the state of Alabama and schools around the country are continuing to vie for the four-star athlete's signature as the season rolls on. Read more...

Like Alabama, Georgia is pitching Evans on the idea of playing as an outside linebacker specializing in rushing the passer, an idea that Evans' father says appeals to the young star.

"Georgia likes him as a Jack linebacker similar to Jarvis Jones and they see him contributing very quickly in their program," Alan said. "I think Rashaan is comfortable with that kind of role because it utilizes the skills he has developed as a defensive end in high school."

Adding a few more good defensive linemen to 2014 class a priority for both Alabama and Auburn. Read more...

Elizabethtown (Ky.) John Hardin defensive tackle Matt Elam looked on Saturday as Alabama beat his other favorite, Kentucky, 48-7 at Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday. While he was there as a guest of the Wildcats, Elam said he got as much out of watching the Tide and envisioning where he'd fit in its defense than he did from watching Kentucky, with whom he's well familiar.

Alabama has a strong chance of landing the 6-foot-6, 350-pounder, who could be Alabama's best nose tackle commit since Terrence Cody. If the lure of staying close to home wins Elam over in the end, however, the Tide also is still working on Brighton (Tenn.) DT Charles Mosley, who is rather mountainous himself at 6-5, 345...

Lots of good recruiting news herein.

"I just wanted to be neutral and not hurt anybody's feelings on that," Elam told 247Sports after Alabama's 48-7 victory, adding that he was happy with the view he got of both teams.

"With UK, it was the environment up there, how the coaches were, and how they played against the No. 1 team in the nation," he said. "On Bama's side, it was just playing at that elite level in the SEC while on an away game. I looked at the D-line and the schemes they play. I've seen UK play a lot. this time, I mainly focused on Alabama and how I would fit into their program..."

From all the good stuff I've read about this kid, I sure hope he's as smart as I think he is and picks Bama.
