YESSSSS! I was hoping we could land many of the state's top players, and it looks like we are doing that! This is an important class as we will lose a ton of seniors after this season. But I love the young players we're getting!!

Back when the B'ham NEWS was a daily paper, the sports section ran a 12 installment series on the top 12 high school players in Alabama. Do they - or anyone else - publish this kind of list today? As we approach NSD on Wednesday, it could be interesting to UAB fans the way it looks today.

I think al.com still does that somewhat although it is on the front side not the back side.
Was Rayam the top guy we were after or is he & Forte considered the top ones?

1a. and 1b. Rayam is less of a risk IMO. Something is funny about Forte's recruitment. Lots of offers and very few actual visits.

Forte will be a 50/50 from a qualifying standpoint from what I hear. He may go HUCO route. Would be a great get if he can qualify

Yeah, but at the moment I was thinking it was more of a “I’d rather go juco than end up at UAB” type thing. Later had accepted grades were issue when GMC and The citadel came around but all that went over my head when we brought him in for an OV.

Even sign and place would be better than nothing. Who knows, maybe he makes it in.
