Henry Poggi remains a Tide target

if you follow recruiting closely, you’ve heard the name Henry Poggi. He is a 6-foot-4, 260-pound defensive line prospect from Gilman School in Baltimore.

Rivals ranks him a four-star prospect and the No. 5 defensive line prospect nationally. Alabama still is in the mix for him, even though he committed to Michigan last month. He visited Alabama this past weekend.

Here’s video of Poggi. It’s put together by 247sports.com, which is kind enough to add an arrow to show which player is Poggi on each play … not that it should be that hard to figure it out.

Some Tide recuiting bits and pieces

Alabama has at least four spots to fill in its 2013 recruiting class, and at the moment, it’s too murky to predict exactly who the Crimson Tide will pull in by national signing day.

However, we’re willing to guess these three appear decent bets to land in Tuscaloosa and Alabama would be glad to have them: Wide receiver Eddie Jackson, 6-foot-0, 180 pounds, Boyd Anderson High in Lauderdale Lakes, Fla.; running back Alvin Kamara, 5-10, 190, Norcross (Ga.) High; defensive lineman Dee Liner, 6-4, 295, Muscle Shoals.

Other possible commitments include defensive lineman Eddie Vanderdoes of Placer High in Auburn, Calif., linebacker Reuben Foster of Auburn High, offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil of Columbia High in Lake City, Fla., and defensive lineman Jarran Reed of East Mississippi Community College. There are others, but those are four who are gaining plenty of attention.

Scout rates Tunsil as the No. 1 offensive line prospect in the country, and if you could pick one guy from the list Alabama would love to have, he is it. Georgia appears to be in the lead, however.

We have video of him from the IBN Sports Network. Tunsil wears No. 77 and plays offensive tackle.
