at Churchill High School, not far
from where we live. And a kid from
Smithson Valley (a playoff team almost
every year in 5A)
Probably not recruited by Sabin, but
interesting. I imagine how well you guys
recruit in Georgia and against Auburn within
the state is big... No? Not many kids from Tennessee
or Louisiana...? A few from Florida.
Texas has one kid from Alabama. Fireplug DLineman.

fanuzzi is fr.qb and get redshirt for this season. i've his seen highlights, he can Sling it!
greg mcelroy, carroll hs., southlake, tx. redshirt fr.--only started at qb his sr year in hs and won state title. we Really thought he'd play some this year. Saban already stated ALL jobs are open come spring.
t. farmer from houston, fr db. as far as i know didn't play any thing year, unless it was special teams.
e. anders-from smithson valley hs, san antonio, so. lb. i think he played some special teams this year.
mcelroy and anders came in under shula. fanuzzi and farmer came to play for saban. fanuzzi is one of the guys that cause a pretty big storm. he verbally committed someplace else, visited Bama with saban and was ready to sign right away.
the kids TX has from Alabama are from the Mobile area? would be my guess. shula gave away that area to TX, Lsu and the barn. saban's second full day on the job, he hopped the plane to Mobile and spent 3 days down there repairing damage left by shula. Lsu has KILLED Bama with Mobile players the last few years.
right now the Bama roster has To many kids from fla and ga. saban should win the state back this year or next for sure. then he can cherry pick tn, fla, ga, ms and la, occasionally the rest of the country. they are already cherry picking ms. pretty well. the ut fans are Really after fat-phil. saban has verbals from the top 2 players in tn.
the Alabama roster being big majority of in state kids has always been the key. they understand "it" and teach or lead the out of state kids. thats NOT happening right now.
