Recruiting Roundup

Since I probably (still!) won't have internet at home tonight, here's a quick roundup of the recruits who signed with the Tide today.

Of special interest to yours truly:

Marquis Maze WR, 5-9.5, 163, 4.40

Maze rushed for over 1,000 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2005. He recorded over 450 yards receiving and three touchdowns. He has speed to burn, and he lines up on special teams for the Wildcats recording close to 300 yards on kick-off returns.

Brandon Gibson WR, 6-2, 190, UMS-Wright

Gibson was impressive with 43 catches for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns. Gibson was named the Most Valuable Receiver for the Bulldogs and made the All-State team as an Athlete.

Jeramie Griffin FB, 6-1, 220, South Panola HS, Batesville, Miss.

Named first-team All-State as a senior by the Jackson (Miss.) Clarion-Ledger, Griffin rushed for 1,288 yards and 19 touchdowns. Griffin never lost a game in high school and his South Panola Tigers own the state record for consecutive wins.

For a brief summation of the rest of the commits and their high school achievements, check the tidesports.com commit list.

I'll be on another podcast at al.com with some guy from Rivals tomorrow afternoon discussing this year's crop of recruits and the future of Alabama football, so look for me to make a total ass of myself next to the legitimate professional. It should be fun!

"I tell ya, recruiting guy, these kids that signed with Alabama will probably play for Alabama!"

I'm floored.

I knew Coach Saban could recruit but I figured we fell too far behind during the transition. I'm stunned. Coach Saban addressed the needs of this team above and beyond what I thought was possible.
