He should realize, the nfl is starting to get over all the bama db's failing in the league. Not that nd has had any recent runs in the draft to counter the conversation.

I dunno. Most of Bama's defensive backfield players have been pretty serviceable in the NFL. Rashod Johnson, Ha Ha, Kareem Jackson, Dre Kirkpatrick, Barron, and Milliner have had solid careers in the NFL... maybe not All Pro but far from failing.

I don't think anyone really expected much out of Sunseri even though he is still holding down a roster spot. Menzie was drafted late and never really took off. Ramzee Robinson was drafted late as well and never really contributed.

If Minkah is good enough, he will make it wherever he goes to college. Guess we will see in the next four to five years.

I saw a headline the other day (didn't read the story) that suggested that DB's from Alabama are performing below expectations in the NFL. Didn't read the story because I thought that was being a bit over dramatic. Not everyone is going to come out and have Pro Bowl careers but they can still be solid players for 8-10 years, which to me, is very successful.

Either way, I'm really rooting for Ha Ha. I like that kid a lot and think the Packers got a good one. I've always been fan of Sunseri too.

Last 3 on your list have been bust 1st rnd picks. Barron just traded, kirk doesnt even start, millner gets abused when not hurt. Ha ha is in cause of injuries, so hes still to be determined. Hell I believe mosley? Is the 1st linebacker to live up to any of the hype. I cant really think of others atm.

Yea, that's always my hope too. He's an extreme long shot at best but man, I think he's the best DB in the class. I really, really want this kid to be Irish but realize that it's not gonna happen unless there is some miracle. Him, Soso and Alize are my biggest wants going forward...probably in that order. Soso and Alize seem to be very realistic at least.

Not much. Brandon fills him in about ND and they are close friends. Not sure if he'll visit yet or not but thinking about it. Liked his FSU visit, but based on the quotes, I don't think he'll end up there. JMO.

Scout: Fitzpatrick Done with Official Visits

The first Iron Bowl for Minkah Fitzpatrick lived up to the hype on Saturday. Amid fans recognizing the Scout 100 cornerback projection and Alabama commitment, he took in a game he won’t soon forget.

“It was a great experience to be a part of such a big rivalry,” he said. “It was a lot of fun the entire weekend, the fans were great, the players were great and the coaches were great.

“That game day experience was crazy, I’ve never experienced anything like that.”

Spending time with several commitments while in Tuscaloosa, it was the Jersey City (N.J.) St. Peter’s Prep star’s first chance to do so since competing with and against many at Nike’s The Opening over the summer.

“We all have a good relationship with each other,” he said. “Blake Barnett is sort of the leader, he’s the funniest, too. But we’ve been talking to a lot of guys and did this weekend. Everybody is working on each other. Damien Harris and Ricky DeBerry were in this weekend for officials, so we were seeing how it went with them a little bit.

“When I see somebody I know the team needs, I talk to them about ‘Bama, tell them all the good stuff and answer any questions they have. We need both of them and will be more than happy to add both of them.”

The 6-foot-1, 194-pound Fitzpatrick (No. 21, above among official visitor group), who also plays wide receiver, running back and returns kicks for the Marauders, spent time with the three Alabama coaches he’s most familiar with while in town, too.

“It was good to sit down with Coach (Nick) Saban, Coach (Kirby) Smart, Coach (Mario) Cristobal, before the game and after the game,” he said. “I talked to them about my future at the school, my family and a whole bunch of different things. They just talked about their vision of me at the school.

“The plan right now is to play defensive back, nickel corner, or safety, or the money position. One of those few positions. But if they need me at receiver, and ask me to play receiver, I’ll be more than happy to do it. Wherever I’m needed, that’s where I’ll play.”

The flexibility of Alabama’s scheme is another factor that helps the Tide in the race to hold onto one of its top commitments , and the nearby family does as well.

“I got to see my grandmother, that was one great part about the visit,” he said. “It’s a big plus, a security blanket. If I ever need anything, I don’t have to fly a bunch of miles away. I can drive a couple hours down the road for my grandmother and other members of my family.”

Currently a “soft verbal” because of an earlier official visit to Florida State, Fitzpatrick says the Tuscaloosa trip will be the final official visit on his slate.

“At this point, I probably won’t be visiting another school officially,” he said. “I had a great visit to Alabama, I’m still solid with Alabama.”

Fitzpatrcik is the No. 67 overall prospect in the class of 2015.

It's good to be Alabama. You just read what you want because it doesn't matter any way.
