According to Roof, Henry cancelled his in home with Tennessee but is still having UW in home tonight. Apparently it’s Bama v UW.... I wonder if Tosh spent too much of the coffee cup budget before he left
We might have a real shot here. When was the last recruit Bama landed west of Texas w/o Tosh. Henry would at the very least start at SAM by his SOPH year. Whoever is doing the in home tonight better have brought the flag.
If we somehow swung both, we can be super picky on ILBs next cycle. Likely only take guys with pass rush capabilities. Obviously you take guys like Flowe regardless, but no one is forcing our hand.
Can't see us taking 5 inside linebackers in one class.
We 100% can, especially for players the caliber of Henry and Heimuli. You can consider the fact that on top of a top heavy senior class, we also lost two guys that they weren’t expecting to lose in Kaho and Amandre. If we took 3 last year and 4 this year no one would bat an eye, but 2 last year and potentially 5 this year is a problem?
Plus they’re not all inside backers. Henry/Heimuli/Phonz have the capacity to play both inside or outside backer positions and Miki is a WIL. We also use LBs as the majority of our special teamers so there is plenty of playing time available. Stack talent, figure out who plays where/when later.
