Visiting this weekend??

 

[FLDomer]

Visiting this weekend??

IDK, you tell me??? Is he visiting??

 

[Irish Fam]

Yea what is with all of the talk about him in the Derrick Henry thread? Real shot here?

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Quote from one week ago on BOL (BamaOnLine):

"I’m solid to Alabama, but I’m still going to take some visits. "

Only mentioned Oklahoma and Arkansas in that interview though.

 

[TerryTate]

Where are you seeing that?

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Yea what is with all of the talk about him in the Derrick Henry thread? Real shot here?

This is what started it, from an ESPN Insider article:

"ESPN 150 running back Altee Tenpenny (North Little Rock, Ark./North Little Rock) says Notre Dame is among the schools pursuing him the heaviest after committing to Alabama, Hooker writes. "

 

[STLDomer]

He has an offer from us per Rivals GITF

For people that haven't picked up the convo in various threads:

- Tenpenny has mentioned we are recruiting him hard as pointed out above
- Derrick Henry just decommitted from UGA after a weekend visit to Bama
- there is a secret committed elsehwhere visitor expected this month and some think he is an option
- as stated above Tenpenny wants to take visits

Bama's other RB commit, Tyren Jones, is going to also take visits. I can't link the tweet because I'm at work, but it's on his 247 profile.

 

[beryirish]

Cue the "other prospects that pop up during the cycle".....never heard of him until now

They are also pursuing Alvin Kamara

 

[Me2SouthBend]

There is even a thread called "Derrick Henry or Alvin Kamara" on Bama's 247. They think they can get either if they wanted and unlike OSU ppl who always say that kinda stuff they can

They can, hell when you take 30 "student" athletes a year, you have that luxury. Saban adheres to the 30/120 rule.

The "extra benefits" help also. I.E. Trent Richardson.

On August 28th, 2011 Alabama running back Trent Richardson was pulled over for speeding in Chilton County, Alabama. The Crimson Tide star was going 85 in a 70 and the officer noted that he blamed the "large rims" on his vehicle for the speeding violation. What was the vehicle? A 2011 GMC Yukon which retails for in the neighborhood of $40,000 even without the added expense of new rims. Raise your hand if it makes sense that an "unemployed" athlete at Alabama with two children, no job, and a non-wealthy family could afford a brand new SUV. Put your hands down Alabama fans. Trent Richardson could be flying in his own private jet and you'd talk about how it's perfectly reasonable for him to avoid traffic this way.

TRENT RICHARDSON'S 2011 YUKON WITH NICE RIMS -- NOTHING TO SEE HERE

If we go 11-1 and win a BCS game, we might start flipping kids from SEC schools. Until then, I would not hold my breath. I have actually spoken with Tenpenny before, and he is not going any where outside the SEC. The only other team that has a chance, is Arkansas, and they probably have little to no chance. He wants to play for the best team in the best conference, and right now Alabama is the top program in the SEC.

 

[johnnykillz]

Let the record show: Arkansas is in the SEC.

That is all.

 

[DCIrish]

Will take an OV to ND.

 

[NDPhilly]

Awesome. He's a beast.

Secret visitor? If so, I called it.

 

[NYMIKE6]

Great news.... just get this guy on campus...

 

[cbrinks5]

Anything can happen if we get him on campus. Would be a huge steal.

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

I'd be thrilled to steal this kid from Alabama.. It would speak volumes to the level ND is recruiting at right now.

 

[Grahambo]

I want him on name alone.

He should pull up in this:

 

[NDPhilly]

Just ran a 3.97 shuttle. Tied for the lead.

 

[Grahambo]

Just ran a 3.97 shuttle. Tied for the lead.

That is what I'm talking about.

 

[NDPhilly]

Will also take officials to Arkansas, Tennessee, and Bama. Undecided on the last one.

 

[NDPhilly]

Damn he just threw the power ball 45 feet.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Didn't he finish like top 3 last year?

 

[NDPhilly]

I remember that he was there last year but I don't remember how he did.

 

[Domina Nostra]

I want him on name alone.

He should pull up in this:

You don't get one of those at Alabama until you crack the depth chart: rules are rules!

 

[rtrn2glory]

jus can't see bama losing out if they continue to do well
