jcg_basketball12: is mosley a top 3 inside linebacker in the country

Andrew Bone: He is a top 10 inside linebacker.

bamaforlife'72: Our chances or interest in Torrian Wilson?

Andrew Bone: Alabama is in Wilson's top five, but I see him staying at Miami.

bama-is-rolling: What position do see Blake Sims playing at Bama?

Andrew Bone: wide receiver or safety.

Crimson Reign: Where do you think that QB Terrance Broadway ultimately commits?

Andrew Bone: Ole Miss or Miss State.

dswright: How are our SEC West competitors classes looking?

Andrew Bone: LSU has a very good class right now.

Crimson Reign: What is going on with BJ Chitty? I thought he was going to be a rather major prospect in state?

Andrew Bone: He is one of the Top 30 players in the state. He has a lot of out-of-state offers.

jcg_basketball12: what are the chances bama lands brian robinson from st. thomas aquinas

Andrew Bone: I think Alabama will sign two more safeties. Jarrick Williams [committed Friday night] and Keenan Allen.

Crimson Reign: What is Alabama going to do about the center position for the future? I see only two offers this year and the Tide has no shot at either.

Andrew Bone: The center position is likely a priority in next year's class.

bucwildbammer: How many of the guys already committed are early enrollees?

Andrew Bone: Austin Shepherd, Chad Lindsay, Phillip Sims, Devonta Bolton, Brandon Lewis, Jalston Fowler are expected to enroll early.

bama-is-rolling: Have the NCAA sanctions had any affect on any of the recruits that you talk to?

Andrew Bone: No.

bucwildbammer: Do you like Fowler as a power type RB or a do-it-all FB

Andrew Bone: Power RB who can do it all.

Crimson Reign: Where do you think that the nation's top kicker Michael Palardy ends up?

Andrew Bone: Palardy-I don't know, but I don't think Alabama.

jcg_basketball12: do you think phillip sims has a real good shot at starting next year or will it take a year for him to get used to going under center

Andrew Bone: He will have an opportunity just like everyone else.

jcg_basketball12: why has bama not offered Darryl Collins isn't he suppose to be one of the top if not the top player in the state next year

Andrew Bone: He's one of the top players in the state for the class of 2011. It's very rare for prospects to receive an offer this early.

bucwildbammer: Do you think we'll eventually pass Texas for the #1 class again this year or you think Florida or LSU beats us for the top class?

Andrew Bone: I think someone will pass Texas.

jcg_basketball12: who does bama have a better chance of landing in the 2011 class C.J. Uzomah or teddy bridgewater

Andrew Bone: C.J. at this point only because two of his OL teammates are committed [Shepherd, J. James]. I have not talked with Bridgewater. Uzomah is recruited as an athlete.

Crimson Reign: Who is Teddy Bridgewater? I have heard some people talking about him lately.

Andrew Bone: Probably the top quarterback in the SE next year from Miami-Northwestern.

bucwildbammer: So in the end do you think Owens ends up on the plains or do you think he'll buck his family & sign with Bama?

Andrew Bone: The longer he waits the better shot for Alabama. He is really intrigued by coach Sal and coach Willis. BUT, Auburn leads for his signature.

bucwildbammer: Do you think that Malone has a chance of shooting up the rankings with the same type of production this year that he has had every year?

Andrew Bone: Yes. I think he has a great chance to move up in the rankings.

jcg_basketball12: will belue play a certain position or will he be a specialist

Andrew Bone: He can play cornerback or safety. I do think he can make a lot of plays on special teams.

jcg_basketball12: who is leading for neiron ball

Andrew Bone: Florida and Georgia.

jcg_basketball12: where do you see prater going

Andrew Bone: I don't really know. Favorites inlcude Alabama, Illinois, Notre Dame, Michigan, Oklahoma, Tennessee, USC.

jcg_basketball12: where do you think cobbs will end up and will bama get an official from him?

Andrew Bone: I think Alabama has a really good shot with Cobbs, and an official visit as well.

bamaforlife'72: Do you feel that a few of the prospects on our board are already silent commits?

Andrew Bone: No.

bucwildbammer: Are there any more elite D ends that you could see us ending up with

Andrew Bone: Mainly the ones we have talked about--Corey Lemonier, Dexter Morant, Kaleb Eulls, Jordan Allen.

jcg_basketball12: will gio bernard take an official to bama

Andrew Bone: He might. He does have an offer and considering Alabama.

bucwildbammer: did J. Hamilton's visit help our chances any with landing him?

Andrew Bone: I think it helped, but it's tough to pull away from UGA.

dh3119: Does Bama still have a good shot with DB's Peters; Grimes; Fulton; Allen; Williams; & Hamilton?

Andrew Bone: I think Alabama's defensive back class will look like this--Milliner, Belue, Fulton, Perry, Williams, Allen.
