Tide Fans Clearly Excited About the Future

By Todd

I checked the al.com basketball page a few minutes ago, and came across an illuminating poll on what's important to Alabama fans right now:

And on that note, from the diaries:

According to Tider Insider...Chris Jackson is a new commitment to the Tide. He graduates from highschool friday and will be joining the Tide starting January. This is a great pick-up as not only is he a great player, but he will not count against our 08 class! According to stats I've seen, 76 catches for 1,470 yards and 19 touchdowns. He added another five touchdowns rushing. Could be another great duel threat reciever/runner.

Thanks to touncy28 for the heads up.

Update [2007-12-18 11:18:31 by Todd]:

Andrew Bone over at TideSports.com has a write up about Jackson's decision making process:

"It was a hard, real hard decision. A lot of things led me to my decision. Alabama has great tradition and a great offense. The coaching change at Georgia Tech played a big part as well."

"I came back from my official visit to Tech this weekend. Last night I sat down with my parents and discussed everything. We talked about everything and decided Alabama was the best place for me."

"When I was in a meeting with the Alabama coaches they talked to me about playing defense. Then coach Saban said he was recruiting me strictly for offense. They were losing three senior wide receivers, and they needed depth."
