  • RTR!!! Happy to see us add a top recruit to the secondary. Even happier to see us landing recruits this year on such a national level. Fla, Ga, La, Ut, Tx, Va, Ar, Nj. Ladies and gentleman we are not only a national power on the field but on the recruiting trail as well. We have only 6 in state commits out of 15 total. Fear the process.

  • This is a great pickup for us and I love how they handled it! How much does this impact our recruitment of Langley?

    We have been awaiting for the official word at least that long....parents wanted to take the time to put together a statement, but word that it was coming obviously leaked. We respected Smith's father's wishes until they could prepare their statement.

    Great kid, solid all-around corner. Very good level of football he is playing in at the HS stage.

    As it should be...with the way social media is today, being the first to break a story like this isn't that big a deal. What is important is maintaining honest relationships/integrity with coaches, players, prospects, and their family members.

    That will get you a lot further down the road in this kind of business (in the long run), and it's obvious you guys have a good handle on it.....

    The question is not about how much you know, it's how much of what you know do you apply?

  • You have to love the young man's attitude! He seems very mature.

    I can't help but think about D Menzie while watching those highlights with him wearing #24. Looks like he has a similar build as well.

    I wonder if he could project at S as well as CB. It's my understanding that Averett will play CB and we seem to be in great shape with Langley while we don't seem to have a true safety lined up this year. Plus we look to be in great shape with at least a couple of elite corners next year. Thoughts?

    Gotta see where Stewart ends up playing, wr or db.

  • Got to this point and knew I needed to read no more:

    "Maurice Smith II (Fort Bend Sugarland Dulles c/o 2013) has researched, evaluated, and visited and has reached his decision to commit to University of Alabama and play for Nick Saban’s defense."

    Hit this line and knew the kid REALLY gets it:

    "I like knowing what to expect and what I can do to earn approval and not consequences."

    Should be a great addition, both from a maturity/leadership standpoing and on the field ability.

    Wow. I am just amazed by the maturity of our recruits. It is truly a testament to our coaches. After reading the statement delivered from Maurice and his family, I see that he is a excellent man. It shouldn't come as a surprise. This is the quality of player I have come to expect. Maurice seems to have it figured out.

    This quote says it all for me, "But someone told me that I would know when it was right. It just felt right, with no pressure, or expectation, it is just right for me. Roll Tide.”

    However, this was not even the best part of the column. Smith's family then quoted, "God has truly blessed our family. We are humbled by all of it and thank all of the schools that fostered this opportunity. We are grateful for their interest in our son and value the relationships that were built. Our paths may cross again and we don’t take it for granted the time and effort that each coach and recruiter invested. From the beginning we said it would be Maurice’s choice, but with our guidance. We are proud of his maturity and growth in this process and feel he has been a good example to his younger brother, Ainias. Now, Maurice can focus on being a Christian student athlete and enjoy his upcoming senior year.”

    Are you kidding me? Stuff like this gives me chill bumps. Maurice "gets it." I can not wait to see this kid suit up for the Crimson Tide.

    I feel you 100%!
