What do we know about his guy? He was mentioned as being interested in us and that we are after him hard!

Not sure how interested he is, but I did notice his school's blatant ripoff of Oregon's O logo. Maybe he'll want to continue using that logo in college, but we'll be hard pressed to pry him away from the SEC or Big 12.

just a heads up, bleacherreport sites are terrible and are considered spam sites. very well known that they steal content without saying where they got it.

This is true. I could write an article on bleacher report

Well, hopefully they ripped it off from someone that actually knew something.

5***** LB from Alabama. If we think that people are trying to bury us for nabbing a few guys out of Texas, just imagine the fallout of landing a top LB from Alabama......

Oh no doubt, I probably wouldn't read them if it wasn't so slow but the the side bar " hot women threads" are worth the spam!
That's why I asked about this guy because I hadn't heard about him before...

Holy crap I didn't know he was that level or out of Alabama....yikes! So I won't worried about his guy...
I should have searched the sites for him first, oh well it got my mind off the "investigation" or wild goose chase threads for a little while.

Gotta admit, thats pretty sweet to see schools in Alabama using our logo.

I've seen a couple other schools do it, but usually they are in the NW.

I also see that the other team is ripping off the Minnesota Twins' logo. I've noticed that a lot of schools use modified logos from college and pro teams.

My high school was the Trojans, so that wasn't exactly an original mascot. We also ripped off WSU's fight song, almost verbatim. I don't think there is a lot of originality in High School athletics.

My HS is the Eagles and we just use the Philly Eagles logo in blue and gold. Our rival team, also the Eagles. I'm thinking more high schools should try to get the kids to come up with logos. I'm sure there are students who want to do it. Also make new nicknames. I love when teams are unique like "Lava Bears" "Buckaroos" and such opposed to "Bulldogs". Just my two cents.
On the topic of Alexander I don't think we have a chance. Look at his offer list, where he is from and how high he is ranked. The one thing about bleacher report is that it can be good but 90%+ of it is crap and if it's in the form of a slide show for something anything less than 25 slides than it's crap. There are some actual articles that are pretty good but it's definitely like picking a diamond out of a junk yard.
