--OT Andre Smith was a unanimous first-team All-SEC selection in 2007 and co-recipient of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, given to the SEC's best blocker. As a junior, he and senior center-guard Antoine Caldwell are the anchors of what appears to be an improving line.

--FS Rashad Johnson recorded six interceptions and eight pass deflections last year and earned unanimous first-team All-SEC honors last season, but his value as a leader on a young team can't be measured.

SPRING MOVERS

OT Drew Davis -- Davis entered the spring as an anonymous junior and left it as the likely solution at right tackle, a position that has been a sore spot for Alabama in recent years.

NT Josh Chapman and DE Alfred McCullough -- These two redshirt freshmen emerged as two of Alabama's best spring surprises and put themselves in position to compete for playing time in the fall.

LB Cory Reamer -- Reamer has been a safety and an outside linebacker but appeared to find a home at inside linebacker late in the spring.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"We've got some young guys coming in with ability. My role will be to establish a time when I can tell them what to do because I already understand the defense. I've already talked to a lot of the recruits. ... I think they are humble and understand what their role will be, but they are ready to go. We're going to do something good. The way the season ended last year, well, now a lot of guys saw what Coach (Nick) Saban had been telling us about finishing strong." -- Alabama senior free safety Rashad Johnson, on preparing an incoming recruiting class ranked among the nation's top classes.

This year we have an experienced team and I got to thinking what Bama needs to do to get those tough wins.  Clemson, UGA, Arky, and LSU got me thinking 1 thing.  STOP THE RUN.  I dont think Clemson has that great of a passing game and is supposed to have a decent running back,  UGA has Moreno and i am still not sold on Staffords passing ability,  Arky doesnt have a prov ...(more)

It took about a month or two for it to happen, but finally one coach has fessed up that "the Saban Rule" was for the benefit of lazy coaches.

Minnesota recruiting coordinator Dan Berezowitz said the so-called "Saban Rule" limits the demands on "coaches who don't want to work and evens the playing field with the ones who do." He is eager for coac ...(more)

I'm sure everyone has heard about the new recruiting rule.The rule prohibits coaches from on-site evaluations during the spring evaluation period, which is a big deal to Saban's recruiting process. Saban was asked if this new rule was directed at him. Saban is known in coaching circles as a very aggressive recruiter. “I’d rather not answer that,” he said. ...(more)

The Tide is rising. Its unstoppable. Its inevidentible. Its the natural order of how things are meant to be. Inspired by Bamas NUMBER 1 recruiting class, WE dedicate this thread to Bamas triumphient return to National dominance.

I heard a very promising rumor this weekend about Nico.  I have a lot of friends from andulusia and coming from one of them that knows Nico's brother.  It is a done deal.  He will be playing for the tide next year, but he wants to go through the recruiting process before he annoucces anything.  More or so for the experience than anything else.  Supposedly it has nev ...(more)
