Anything new going on with Dalvin Tomlinson? Heard that Bama may have backed off a bit.

Tomlinson and his coach both said that rumor isn't true...if you missed it there was a free article on Rivals last week with Tomlinson.

I know that both of them said that it wasn't true but I think that may be the rumor has legs.
Looking over Alabama's commit list you will see a lot of DL already committed, 3 DT's and 1 DE to be exact. They are also hot on the trail of several big time DE and DT players, Jordan Jenkins is said to be leaning that way as well as Quay Evans. Add to that the fact that Alabama already has 19 commits and the SEC during the off-season capped signings at 25, I doubt that leave any room for Tomlinson at the moment as DL is not their most pressing need to close out their class. Alabama may not yet have closed the door but it is swinging in that direction.
Have you had any dealings with Kallon's coach?
Is he truly one of these coaches that get off on having an SEC recruit under his watch?

Bama has probably offered a lot more Lineman than they can take.

Everybody does that...GT has offers out and are still actively recruiting...DE/NT Faith Ekakitie, NT K'hadree Hooker, DE Dalvin Tomlinson, NT John Atkins, etc.
While EricGT's answer is correct, you may be thinking of a different issue which everybody does not do. For example, CPJ will not continue to extend offers to DL recruits after he has commitments from the number of a particular DL he is willing to take. In other words, he won't accept a DL's commitment and then go back to him and say we got somebody better so we won't be accepting your LOI come February.
That is exactly what I am talking about.
He's influencing Kallon somewhat.
How has the 5-0 start impacted recruiting efforts? Are we getting more looks from recruits we didn't expect?
Are any of our recruits saying anything about the buzz of 5-0 GT? I noticed Kallon had a positive comment for us regarding our 5-0 start. I am hoping that other recruits are getting excited about the future of the program as well.
At this point of recruiting 2012 kids pretty much know who is in or out. I guess it could help persuade a couple that are on the fence about us...but 2012 is largely done and we know the remaining players.
To make a big splash, finish strong, etc. it will help more for 2013 and 2104 recruiting classes. This would show some consistently with 2 ACC Championship appearances in 3 years should we get there. That is the kind of thing we need to happen...do it every year.

There are 2-3 that could happen during season...but they are really not expecting much during the season. The targets are known, for the most part, and the spaces left are few.Well, we have not had a new commit for a while, hopefully somebody jumps on board before too long.
Yuri Wright is likely announcing his school at the US Army AA Bowl in San Antonio. Has GT every had a kid pick the Yellow Jackets at that game?

I would venture to guess that the reason we never get any "media" announcements like that is due to the fact that the type of guy that would need to make an announcement in that manner is never the same type of guy that would be comfortable going to an academic school/"2nd tier" football program....but that's just my take after thinking about it for 10 seconds.
