hutt14: Updates on Peters and Fulton

Andrew Bone: Garry Peters still reports Alabama in his favorites. Fulton is saying the same, but does not plan to decide until December. I would not be surprised to see Fulton making an earlier decision.

jambama1: whats the latest with gabe king he seems to really like bama but wants to play the jack

Andrew Bone: Alabama really isn't in the running at this point for King.

jambama1: is simms going to be in the elite 11 camp?

Andrew Bone: Yes.

Bama11681: what is Phillip Simms's legit height/weight?

Andrew Bone: He is 6-2/215.

Crimson Flounder: Besides Moseley what other players is Bama pushing for in the Mobile, Baldwin county area?

Andrew Bone: C.J. Mosley is really the only one who is uncommitted high on the recruiting radar at this point for the class of 2010.

Bama11681: What is his arms strength like.... is it more JPW or Brodie?

Andrew Bone: I have not seen Phillip Sims play in person. I have been told by those who have been watching him and reported he has a very strong arm and can make the deep throws.

tigerhater04: I talked to Chris James a couple of months ago and he told me this class would be about speed is that one of the reasons we went after Carswell and some others

Andrew Bone: Yes. He is correct. You can look at Alabama's defensive back class and notice the speed athletes.

Crimson Reign: Which players will Alabama face the toughest battle over down the stretch?

Andrew Bone: Guys like Keenan Allen, Corey Grant, C.J. Mosley, James Stone are a few of the players for the recruiting battles.

FTBLFAN: Which currently committed player(s) do you think Bama has the best shot of losing, and which team would be likely to get their commitment?

Andrew Bone: I'm not sure Alabama will lose a commitment, but a couple are looking to take some visits. Keiwone Malone plans to visit Ole Miss. Blake Sims plans to visit Tennessee, maybe Georgia.

Crimson Reign: When will some of the prospects begin to arrange Official Visit dates?

Andrew Bone: Most official visits will come after the season. Some prospects will schedule visits during the season, but not many.

Heath.: Do we have a good shot with LaDarius Owens or is he Auburn's to lose?

Andrew Bone: He is Auburn's to lose.

jambama1: if you had to pick the rest of the class who do we end up with

Andrew Bone: It's always changing with the recruitment of these players, but today I feel comfortable to include these guys for Alabama- Victor Beasley, Brian Vogler, Harrison Jones, C.J Mosley, James Stone, Keenan Allen, Corey Grant.

Carpe Diem: How do "antics" affect recruiting ?? I.E. tiger prowl/stars and stripes etc....Is it really worth it?

Andrew Bone: Take a look at the commitment lists.
