Saban has some man-boobs going on in that picture. I am sure he will contact FN soon to get that picture removed

It smells like a commit is about to switch his verbal.

ATCHINSON, Being a quality LB would fit nicely in the Oklahoma Sooners DEFENSE. JONATHAN give COACH STOOPS a call.

Haha! That picture isn't a great one, but Coach Saban is a very fit person and works out every day.

"The 6-foot-3, 212-pound Atchinson, who is a member of the AJC???s The Georgia 150"

Is that good enough to come to UA right now? Even if he has an offer, he might get passed on. Saban is loading up.

No one ever heard of both Jamal Lewis and James Davis (graduates of Frederick Douglass H.S) unitl they arrived on the respective campus.
UA should recruit him as I have seen him play. He is a great ball player. He just might sneak up and surprise a few people. The state of GA has solid football players who can play and compete in Div 1-A schools.

If Sabanm wants him, then he is good. That's good enough for me. But as PSU1 says, let's talk in February and for me, at least, until they hit the field in a Crimson uniform, then I don't get excited.

Agreed, Joekidd, yet he sounds like a good fit; slotted on the left with J U L I O slotted on the right. There are other receiver recruits out there as well, I would love to see about three or four commit so they can sub freely and contribute. Saban will use them well, but they MUST have a great work ethic, no more DJ Halls, the freebies are OVER!!!

Well he should be able to get a good look at both teams on the 29th. Although I can't imagine that Tuberville is excited that he will be sitting on the Bama side.
