those of you who follow recruiting, whats the skinny?

Huge visit weekend, some bigtime players on campus.

Luke Jones and Jae’Vien Gill are in town.

Don’t know what Bill says. Blocked me.

Allen Henry was here yesterday or Thursday.

They did an in-home with Gill, Codey Martin, AJ Brown.

That’s as much as I’ve seen via Twitter, this month.

Yep, Deven Wright took an OV to MTSU last weekend and is at Boise State this weekend.

They offered about 4-5 Jucos since Thanksgiving.

Reise Collier
Warren Peeples
Elijah Davis
JaQavius Yates
Chace Davis

Have not seen anything regarding them and this weekend, tho.

Reise Collier is on his OV at UAB this weekend

I didn't realize early NSD period was so close. Always think of it being in Feb.

Happened to drive by the stadium this evening and they’re clearly putting in work. Couldn’t look too hard since I was driving but could tell they had a highlight tape rolling on the Jumbotron. I imagine that stadium will do an excellent job closing the deal this weekend.

I believe it’s Wednesday-Friday

Allen Henry is at Coastal today.

Codey Martin in Bham this weekend

I don’t know if folks know this, but he tore his ACL in early October. Had been Starting PG for their hoops team too.

He plays safety, which we haven’t found someone solid to put there since Thomas graduated.

Baylor Transfer QB Jacob Zeno has UAB listed in his Twitter bio.

Wonder what this means for Damon Stewart?

Trey Miles is coming to play DB. Stewart didn’t take any reps at WR in juco, so I don’t know how he’s gonna see any real PT at QB in Birmingham. Sed Copeland was a solid athlete when we converted him but also had reps in Juco at WR.

UAB Athletics Fan@UABAthleticsFan
Former Baylor QB, Jacob Zeno, has committed to @UAB_FB! Zeno was a 4 star recruit coming out of John Jay HS in San Antonio and originally chose Baylor over the likes of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina & Arkansas. #GoBlazers

Being that Stewart had very little JUCO usage as a QB I'd expect him to come in as a DB or WR with him sitting a year to learn whatever position...

UAB has gotten a number of good players over the years who got hurt late and had schools back off of their offer. Roddy White was one, IIRC.

He'd be a big pull. The good thing about taking the losses we have is that it creates roster spots to fill - if we get good recruits to fill them.

The QB from Baylor must be good
