The four-star tight end from Center Valley (Pa.) Southern Lehigh committed to Michigan in July but he has a whole round of visits coming up.

Olesh will be at the Georgia/Alabama game, Ohio State at Oregon, the WhiteOut game at Penn State, the USC at Michigan game this weekend and a date to be determined at Notre Dame. He remains committed to the Wolverines.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Kalen DeBoer took part of his opening statement Monday to single out a player he called a “game-changer” for Alabama so far this season.

It wasn’t quarterback Jalen Milroe, who has 14 total touchdowns, or freshman receiver Ryan Wiliams, who is averaging 28.5 yards per catch. DeBoer didn’t praise linebacker Jihaad Campbell’s team-high 28 tackles or edge rusher Que Robinson’s trio of sacks either.

Instead, he gushed over his punter.

Cool video I saw, hadn't seen this posted on here yet.

At Alabama, they’re called takers.

JaMarcus Shephard doesn’t refer to his position group as receivers. The first-year position coach claims that label is too passive for how he wants his unit to play. Instead, the Crimson Tide’s wideouts are known as “takers.”

“Being a taker is aggressive. It’s an aggressive way. It’s an aggressive lifestyle,” Shepherd explained during a February interview with Tide 100.9. “It’s how you go after the football. It’s how you go after blocks. It’s how you conduct yourself every single day on that football field.”

So far, the Tide’s takers have lived up to their name.

Alabama’s wideouts are well-known for their big-play ability, but the unit has also rolled up its sleeves for some dirty work this season. According to Pro Football Focus, the Tide’s highest-graded run blockers the past two weeks have been receivers takers. Ryan Williams led Alabama with a 78.2 run-blocking grade against South Florida, while Germie Bernard posted a sterling 87.2 mark against Wisconsin.

The Tide piled up 184 yards on 34 carries against the Badgers over the weekend. According to PFF, 128 of those yards came on a combined 20 attempts to the outside of the right and left ends. That’s an average of 6.4 yards a pop on running plays where the takers helped spring blocks.

Here’s a look back at how the Tide’s wideouts cleared the way for some of those runs.

We'll hear from Kalen DeBoer, Kane Wommack and Nick Sheridan in a few minutes. Updates here.

Jalen Milroe:

Led the Crimson Tide to an impressive 42-10 road victory over Wisconsin
Accounted for five total touchdowns, including three passing and two rushing
Finished 12-of-17 for 196 yards and the three scores through the air
Hit on passes of 31, 26 and 37 yards for his three touchdowns
Added 75 yards and two scores across 14 carries with his legs
Scored from 3 and 10 yards away while also contributing three first downs rushing

I saw he is committing soon from among Bama, Kansas, and Louisville. Anybody with any insight?

Our WR coach is a DOG! He can recruit. He can motivate. He can coach. I sure hope we keep him a long time. But I’ve noticed our WR’s delivering some great blocks these first couple weeks. Here’s an example I saw posted but I’ve noticed a few of them without even looking for them.

An article popped up on my "news" feed today and found it interesting, so I thought I'd offer a sports trivia question. Name the six schools who have had four or more players selected as the first overall pick in the NFL draft.

Easy to find on the net, but no cheating. . . .

Saw a few clips from their summer workouts. Any reports on guys???


How are things going at Brooks Harper???

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama is slightly banged up heading into its open week. During his Monday press conference head coach Kalen DeBoer provided an injury update on four players following his team’s 42-10 victory over Wisconsin over the weekend.

I just re-watched the Bama-USF from last year. Refresh me on why Milroe was benched that entire game. QB play was horrible the entire game. We were only ahead by 7 with 40 seconds left. Roydell Williams had a great game.......I hate we lost him.

Tony and I recapped and gave our takes on the Wisconsin game, plus what DeBoer and the coordinators said during their press conference Monday.

I’ve said before that I think he’s the most talented QB to play at Alabama. I thought he would do well in the NFL, my only concern was the obvious, his lack of size. Now the Panthers roster is one of if not the worst in the NFL but he’s not making good decisions with the football, something I aways thought was a strength of his.

So is it time to bench him. On one had I believe in letting a young player go through the growing pains, on the other his confidence could be diminished to the point he never recovers.

Found this interesting, Lsu's leading receiver is Arron Anderson and Texas's leading receiver is Bond.

Just asking any update on our injuries

1) OL plays like last six minutes of USF game. The running game will develop if they play like that for a full game. Bama has back field talent if they get some blocking.
2) DB's / Safety / CB's better not cover the deep ball like they did against USF or great passing QB's will throw for 6 TD's
3) Key to Bama offense is finding and connecting with Ryan Williams in open space down field. Kid is good enough to be a Heisman contender in December if Bama get the ball to him.
4) Stop stupid yellow flags.
5) More pressure on the QB. Nose tackle did a great job, but did not see much pressure on QB other than that.

JMHO......ANYONE ELSE?
