nope its conditional on whatever LeBryan Ray does later. If Ray commits then Parks most likely will look elsewhere or greyshirt

Call it what you want, it doesn't sound like they made this very clear to his camp. He was apparently crying when he made the statement that he had to delay his decision, so again, I don't believe he went into the day with this information, pretty shitty stuff for a young man on his biggest day.

He should go to Auburn or LSU and be a thorn in Bamas side for the next four years!

So Saban pulled Parks offer at the last minute, literally?

i don't feel bad at all for these kids...when you want to commit to a coach who has done these types of things before, maybe 1 day recruits and their family will wake the f#ck up

You could say he's pulled it temporarily. I would be so pissed if it was me, that I'd tell them no thanks.

Wonder why he would be interested in ND? I don't believe we were even in the mix were we?

Except he's a teenager. He's not going to think this through with a clear mind. Even if he's aware of Saban's tactics, he's probably thinking it would never happen to him. Even parents get caught up in the excitement. Mom and dad are probably running around telling everyone that Alabama wants their son to play for them.

How funny would that be if he committed to ND? Never can land DE's and now we have more than we could imagine!

Or just commit early if you want to go to a certain school instead of playing the game all the way up to NSD.

Holy Crap!!!

This poor guy. I promise you next year he wont be here. Saban will replace him and this guy will wind up working for the city doing street cleaning.

That Saban has GOT to be the devil. Worse piece of crap ever

Now I don't feel sorry for him. If he's willing to step into that trap after being told to hold on, then he deserves what he gets.

Given our misses at CB, are there any graduate transfers we might be looking at?

Football Nick Saban is not a good man. However, the kids should know what's up Its like dating the hot girl who always has a new guy. You may think it will be different for you, but don't be shocked when it's not.

We laugh a lot and say, "these guys aren't sitting on recruiting sites."

Sounds like they need to be on the recruiting sites.

Both parties at fault. Parents should know better and Saban shouldn't do this to prospects. What's the difference between Bama and ND? Here's an example.

I truly don't understand why you wouldn't go play for anyone of the many schools that right now are dying to sign you. Somewhat baffling.

93rd rated prospect in the country. would rather stay home and not play football for a year rather than commit to another a school and basically have 99% of the same college experience he would have at bama

USC has added Jay Tufele, DT, Levi Jones, LB, and Austin Jackson, OT today. Jackson was expected. Jones was a surprise (Fla State was favored).
Trojans are at twenty-one and can take two more (two blueshirts from last year count towards this year's class, making twenty-three.)

USC is expected to add Joseph Lewis, WR and Greg Johnson, Ath to this class.

Pac 12 and SEC recruiting rules differ on totals for the class. Pac 12 teams cannot sign more than the 25. SEC teams are limited to twenty-five unless they would fall short of eighty-five, and then they could take more until they reach that number. Even with this '17 class, USC will not make eighty-five.

However, USC could "sign" blueshirts, who could walkon in the fall, earn one of those remaining scholarships, but they would count to the next class.

What is this kid doing?? He's clearly intelligent. Someone needs to talk some sense into him.

He is after all a teenager and while he may be smart, they tend to let their emotions get in the way more often then not.

Son, you can have this nice Elantra to drive or this Maserati. He takes the Maserati because it's flashy, only to find out it's going to sit in the garage because he can't afford the insurance or gas.
