As Long as Saban is the head coach at Alabama, I don't think they're going to stray too far from what they've been. So I wouldn't see a reason for him to decommit unless he was super close with Nussmeier.
January 8th, 2014 at 10:29 PM ^
All your recruits are belong to us. Amen and good night.

You mean.

Ricky Town isn't going to leave 3x national championship Alabama for a team that bottomed out as 7-6 Buffalo Wild Wing roadkill

Not as much as some actual success on the field though
January 9th, 2014 at 12:01 AM ^
I'm sure it'll get Campbell's attention but unless the results on the field get better, it probably won't do anything to bring Campbell back.
January 8th, 2014 at 10:41 PM ^
that i hope the answer to is: recomittment
January 8th, 2014 at 11:35 PM ^
How does this affect George Campbell's uncle?
January 8th, 2014 at 10:40 PM ^
Seeing as it was already rumoured Bo Scarborough was looking around and Nussmeier was his lead recruiter at Bama, coud he defect to us? It has to help that he liked us through out the process. I think we have a better shot at him then Towns.
January 9th, 2014 at 5:08 AM ^
Word on the street is that his grades are looking more and more like the issue with Bama
January 9th, 2014 at 8:19 AM ^
Grades being an issue with Alabama CANNOT be a good sign.
January 8th, 2014 at 10:42 PM ^
sorry...

January 8th, 2014 at 10:44 PM ^
Curious as to what you mean here? Towne is a 2015 QB, not the same class as Speight.
January 8th, 2014 at 10:44 PM ^
Towns is in next year's class, and I'm not sure but I believe he had an offer from us prior to picking Bama.
January 9th, 2014 at 9:29 AM ^
says we've only offered Josh Rosen and David Sills.
January 8th, 2014 at 10:46 PM ^
Sorry, that was mean.
But no really...Speight is a 2014 recruit and Towns is a 2015 kid.
Also, Speight has already said he's not afraid of comp in case Borges wanted to offer another QB in HIS class (which Towns is not).
January 8th, 2014 at 10:46 PM ^
but we still need a 2015 qb...
January 8th, 2014 at 10:42 PM ^
He was rumored to be hired an hour again...how the hell does anyone know how this is going to affect recruits?
Even if a recruit responds, it'll be a snap judgement. Give it a week and then let's see what happens and who says what.
January 8th, 2014 at 10:44 PM ^
It's too much fun to speculate!
January 8th, 2014 at 11:14 PM ^
You do realize that his is MGoBlog dont you? This is WHAT WE DO!!!
January 8th, 2014 at 10:43 PM ^
he helps us hang on to our own commits. Especially Harris.
January 8th, 2014 at 10:51 PM ^
Seriously? You're worried that our commits might bolt at the thought of playing for a guy like Nussmeier because why? Are you worried that our offense players might get too tired having to stay on the field for longer than three plays?
I think we're going to be ok here.
January 8th, 2014 at 10:56 PM ^
the Mom of Damien Harris said they were very sad and shocked to see Borges let go. Like I said in my other post, hopefully this guy will make them feel better.
January 8th, 2014 at 11:11 PM ^
let Harris live his life and you do the same. Long time before he's on campus
January 8th, 2014 at 11:22 PM ^
With top recruits like Harris, it doesn't matter who the coach is if the offense is a tire fire. Had Michigan had its third straight year of offensive abortion on the field, then it was super unlikely that Harris would stick out his commitment and come here. I mean, the dude was wavering after the BW's bowl. Did you really think he'd make it another year with every top program asking him "you sure you want to play in that offense??"
If Nuss can make the offense purr, then I'm sure he and Harris will become best buds and Harris will stick.
January 8th, 2014 at 11:31 PM ^
Where was the evidence that he was wavering other than people reading into tweets? And second, the tweets about Borges are way overblown. He's clearly bummed about it, but he said nothing about Nussmeier, so he very well could be excited about the hire, as it appears Moe Ways is from his twitter. Ways also said all commits are solid.
January 8th, 2014 at 10:52 PM ^
Bama runs the football...Harris should be doing BACKFLIPS!
So should Derrick Green, did you see what his counterpart Derrick Henry did at Bama vs. Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl? True freshman, HUGE, #1 or #2 in his recruiting class along with Green...and also jersey #27.
Green should be VERY happy. Harris as well.
January 8th, 2014 at 10:57 PM ^
Given Yeldon, Henry, Lacy and all the other massive amounts of success the Bama RB's have had, I have to imagine Harris is pleased on the surface.
January 8th, 2014 at 10:58 PM ^
Yeah Harris does not seem to happy about Borges being fired. He's also now retweeting Kentucky stuff. So we'll see what Nuss can do. Harris is the most important member for the 2015 class right now.
January 8th, 2014 at 11:14 PM ^
Was that before or after the news of the hire came out? I can understand him being disappointed in Borges being let go, but I don't know why any RB would be disappointed by this hire.
January 9th, 2014 at 12:10 AM ^
Just checked it out and the only Kentucky retweet was someone saying UK's 2015 class would be great with a bunch of guys they're absolutely not going to get. Justin Hilliard was mentioned as well and he's not even considering them as far as we know. I see no problem with Harris retweeting it. Just acknowledging a compliment. Come down off the ledge. It is interesting though that Kentucky's fanbase seems to be taking the strategy of just assuming a bunch of 5 stars are locks for them. Maybe they'll convince the players themselves lol.
January 9th, 2014 at 12:16 AM ^
There is so much time for the 2015 class. If our offense improves next year, which may happen, we will be fine recruting. I'd like Harris to be a part of the class but he's got to make the decision that's right for him as do we. It isn't about what's best for one player it's about what's best for the program and this hire may be it. Time will tell. Hopefully Nussmeier will work out and Harris comes anyway along with even more talent from the combined efforts of Hoke, Matison, Nussmeier, and other coaches.

I'd be curious to see if this piques Josh Rosen's interest at all. Also it would be pretty funny if Dee Hart ends up transferring to Michigan.
