Don'ta Hightower chooses...

Roll Tide.

Two very simple words that accurately describe how Nick Saban and Alabama is doing on the recruiting trail. After a heart wrenching defeat at the hands of Les Miles and the LSU Tigers, Alabama and Sarah Jessica Parker Wilson got Croomed again by Miss. St. Bama fan could not be happier however.

The LSU weekend was one of the biggest visit weekends I, in my brief professional career, have ever seen. Quality and quantity absorbed all that the Capstone had to offer. Names like Barrett Jones, who committed that weekend, Julio Jones, Chris Tolliver, Mr. Hightower, and many others. Also, a "massive" commitment from 6-7, 335 lb DJ Fluker from Biloxi HS (Biloxi, MS). Stay tuned to The Visitor for more on Fluker who will likely be one of the top DT in the 2009 class.

The aforementioned Don'ta Hightower committed Wednesday morning to the Tide. He chose Bama over Vandy. The smart kids never win do they?

The 6-3, 250 lb Mr. Do-Everything is a local product, at least to me. The DE/TE/LB/WR/bus driver is from Marshall County HS (Lewisburg, TN). This kid carries his weight very well. He is a big, physical defender who has the agilty to catch screen passes and return kicks. In a Saban 3-4 defense where the "Jack" backer is used as a hybrid LB-DE, Hightower fits perfectly.

As a side note, Marshall County plays David Lipscomb this Friday night about 10 minutes from my home. I will unofficially be in attendance.
