Andrew Bone: The new names who have emerged since the season started-Ahmad Dixon, Storm Johnson.

nathanr1: Of the "big steals" are these guys already committed or just leans to other schools?

Andrew Bone: I was just meaning guys like Dixon, Hicks, Luc, Dunkley.

nathanr1: It has been said that K. Prater may be looking again, if so any shot for BAMA?

Andrew Bone: Scout.com had a recent story with Prater about visitng other schools. He mentioned a handful of schools, but did not mention Alabama.

arface: have you confirmed offcial future visits from Kenny Shaw, Tai-ler Jones, Jordan Hicks, Kouandjio?

Andrew Bone: I know Hicks and Kouandjio both plan to visit. I am not sure with White's commitment if Tai-ler Jones [committed to Notre Dame this weekend] or Shaw will still visit.

nathanr1: Are there any Top 100 juniors that are listing us as a lean at this point?

Andrew Bone: Scout.com 100 juniors listing Alabama as the leader- LaMichael Fanning (Auburn HS), Marvin Shinn (Vigor, UA commitment), Brent Calloway (Russellville, UA commitment)

arface: does the Fanning kid play 'jack'? & what was the reason Carl Sanders gave for his decommitment?

Andrew Bone: He plays defensive end and tackle. I can see him as a defensive end on the next level. I have not talked with Craig Sanders since he switched his commitment.

bp84: Do you think Jalston Fowler will make an early impact?

Andrew Bone: I do think he will challenge for some early playing time.

arface: Vinnie Sunseri... any relation? and have you seen tape?

Andrew Bone: Yes. He is coach Sunseri's son. I have not seen any tape, but I have heard he is one of the top juniors in N.C.

bp84: Are we after any more guys on the D-line, or is the staff satisfied with what is already there?

Andrew Bone: Still a couple of players out there, but I don't see Alabama signing any.

arface: do u think Art Barnes of Mitchell fits the mold of a Saban runner?

Andrew Bone: I know of Art Gibson from Mitchell. He is definitely a player on Alabama's radar.

The Chosen 1: In terms of style of play are Milliner and Kirkpatrick similar players or different. I have heard Kirkpatrick is physical is Milliner the same?

Andrew Bone: Milliner is a very physical player from what I have seen. Kirkpatrick more of a finesse player.

bama4life'72: With the 2 decommits, how many spots do we have left?

Andrew Bone: Alabama probably has about six spots remaining.
