Around this time of the year Alabama starts to go on a run and either flips or gains the attention their primary targets.
This year is no different as the Tide seem to be lurking as they prepare for their typical pre-season/summer push.
Speaking with several people in and around the program there are several names that seem to be “trending” towards the Tide.
Now at the end of the day we are dealing with kids and as we’ve all seen before, things can change at any moment but here are a few names that stand out as commitment candidates.
First one we have to bring up is Demarcus Riddick.
Riddick has flirted with Bama since the start of the year and things have only heated up. With Riddick set to visit Tuscaloosa this weekend, the writing could be on the wall for where this is headed.
There is confidence on the Bama side of things and them getting him on campus is simply put, major at this point.
More to come.
Hampton is very back in forth in terms of his communication and want to do interviews. That said, according to all reports he enjoyed his visit and if you ask some Alabama may have already had the lead heading into the weekend.
The Tide see Hampton at WR and he’s built a strong bond with Coach Wiggins. Apparently he even stayed the longest out of any of the recruits last weekend.
He has friends on staff and has versatility to play both sides of the ball. Looking like a Bama lean at this time.
Gude dropped his Top 5 yesterday including the Tide with his commitment date set for July 6th.
If you speak with those close to Gude and you follow the visits, Gude has spent a considerable amount of time in Tuscaloosa. He also already has a teammate (Dontrell Glover) committed who’s pushing hard for him and apparently the staff has been selling him on the idea of playing the role Brian Branch played.
Gude is very interested to say the least.
Poe has been a player that I’ve felt could end up in the class since the first time we connected nearly a year ago.
His background, hometown and work ethic all scream Alabama. Taking those things into account the other schools recruiting him aren’t just going to go away easily, it will be a battle.
That said, Coach Wolford has done a good job here and Saban is held in high regard for Poe and his entire family, so much so it may be hard for him to pass up the opportunity.
Alabama will be his last OV. Just keep that in mind as he plans to commit prior to the season.
Last but not least….
Solomon Williams I’m some regards come out of nowhere to be in this category but apparently Alabama and primary Coach Hutzler has been very consistent.
According to sources close to the program they view Williams as one of the top prospects in the county and really worked hard to get him on campus this weekend.
Ignore the rating here, he is a wanted man in Tuscaloosa and his visit this weekend could spell the end of his recruitment if this go well.
We will see.
