This is not the news I was hoping for. Bummer. I am cracking open the bottle of wine early tonight :).

few others have said I still think we get Keenan Allen. I think these rumors are just to get ESPN and his signing day event more ratings. I just think he would decommit already if he was for sure going somewhere else. Allen has to really sell this point that he is looking elsewhere to get other schools to look at his brother. If another school offered Allen and his brother a scholarship, then his brother accepts, and Keenan sticks with us could that other school take back the scholarship to his brother if it was a package deal?

Andrew Bone is right a lot of times with his predictions but I remember last year he basically was saying Bobby Massie was a lock for us and Massie signed with Ole Miss. Keenan Allen isn’t talking to anyone right now so really no one knows what is going on with him except the coaches more than likely.

are rumors going around that Keenan Allen has decommitted but I don’t know what to believe with him. I guess we’ll all find out soon enough where he really is going.

What a roller coaster ride!

we get Allen, Coleman or Stone. Just don’t get shut out between these 3 that are really anybodies guess.

Personally I think we get Stone and not Coleman.

Allen, well if he comes, we are loaded at DB which would not be a bad thing. As far as him and his bro. going to Cal well they lost their QB and don’t have much expereince behind him so maybe Maynard can contend for a spot.

BUT, can he play next year or does he have to sit out a year? I thought (I’m not sure) he would have to sit out a year. So in a way Maynard going to Cal makes no sense for him, IF he has to sit out a year. I mean Cal will have a new qb next year and that guy will likely start for 2 years so there goes Maynard’s playing time. In a way it makes better sense for Maynard to come to Bama even as a walk on. Our QB spot this year is solid but Maynard can’t play anyway (assuming he sits out a year), but in 2011 Maynard could possibly beat out AJ or PS. It would not be given to him, but he would have the experience on both these guys. Still looks like Allen to Cal. Oh well, he will regret it when we are playing in Arizona.

those worried over recruiting don’t worry. Next year we could have the best recruiting class we have EVER had. A lot of top recruits from around the country already have us as their favorite and the state of Alabama should be deep with talent like 2008.

Apparently his dad (?!) called Saban today and told him they’re going in a different direction. In addition to Cal, Penn State (?!) is also apparently in the mix. So I think it’s safe to say that KA is not signing with UA.

I hate to say it, but could we go 0-4 on Wed? Arie looks to be the most likely to sign with us, but I’ve seen rumblings that USC won him over (ughhh). And with Stone and Coleman toss-ups that could very well NOT go our way, well, that means …… (crickets). Not trying to be a Debbie Downer at all, just really wondering.

I know long-term this all does not matter, especially with Saban in charge, and that 2011 looks to be a historic class, etc, etc, but I would be lying if I didn’t say this all stings a bit … well, a lot. How can you win the National Championship and then be screwed like this just a few weeks later?

sucks to lose KA he looks to be a good one.

recruiting class. Just because we may not get a new commit on the last doesnt make or break your class. Sims, Milliner, and crew are awesome recruits…we’re fine. The sky is not falling.

I could care less what our recruiting ranking is this year. we’ve filled all our needs, we have a boat load of great WR already, DB set to be very deep, offensive line awesome, etc. I don’t see what all of this crying like u lost something is all about. Sure. Keenan and Coleman are great prospects, but u win some u lose some, if you don’t want to be part of the Alabama family, we don’t want you, or need you.
