Saban: Would you like that in 20's or 100's?

he's a shot in the dark at best at this point.
would be tough to say no to saban when he has the pedigree he has of developing elite talent at the back end of defenses.

Eh. Best program in the business. If I could go anywhere and was a football-first kid, I don't know why I wouldn't choose Bama.

I don't think this will stick. I just don't see any fit culturally. A Northeastern Catholic school kid going to Alabama? Can't remember the last time that happened. Currently only 1 Jersey boy on Bama's roster. Though considering his list, I'm very disappointed. Coming from a New Jersey catholic school, you'd think he'd pick more academically challenging schools. That's a damn shame.

Is he on record as saying that he would pick a school that would challenge him academically? If not, I don't see the big surprise...

Maybe he didn't like being a Catholic school kid?

Kind of like an inner-city type of kid from Florida going to ND. Never happens.

I don't know what the case is with MF, but some parents send their kids to Catholic high schools (that have highly competitive sports programs), such as those in NJ, with the #1 reason being athletics. I'm sure the fact that the education that their sons will receive is appealing, especially if the local public school is mediocre. Better coaching, more exposure, playing against better competition. Just look at Don Bosco Prep. You don't honestly believe that every kid from DBP cared more about academics then athletics, do you? Not every football player from DBP, St. Peter's, SJR, Camden Catholic, and Paramus Catholic goes to Northwestern, Duke, Stanford, ND, etc.
Obviously Alabama isn't as good of a school as the ND's, Stanford's and Duke's of the world, but it's not terrible. It's a quality school with some good programs. I can only speak to my experience, but I have friends who have been out of school for 3 years, with degrees from NESCAC and Ivy League schools, and I have a better job just 1 year removed from Alabama. A lot of my friends that I graduated with have very good jobs, too. If you put in the work at any school, you can be successful.

He visited there this past weekend with both his parents.
Also heard that he had a growth spurt and will be playing safety this year not CB.
It wouldn't surprise me if this kid took his 5 official visits.

Isn't the BC coach the former Bosco OC? Could he be the Ironman's coach when Tool hangs it up?
As far as Fitzpatrick and Bama... long way till signing day. Hope we hang on to him.

Yup Nunzio Campanile. He was actually my homeroom teacher senior year haha. He's a great guy and it sucked to see him leave for a rival.
I've actually thought about that a bunch of times. Toal isn't going to be at Bosco forever and with the way things have been going at BC who knows what Nunz's future is.
