I have heard chatter that LSU thinks they are getting in good with this TCU commit and now I see he is on the Bama WAIT list maybe (what I think Harris our LB commit is on)
... ANYWAY, reading this makes it perfectly clear, the coaches recruiting this kid can't feel good about where he signs until he actually does. Arkansas will face him no matter where he goes it seems :)


TCU commitment visits Alabama

Sci Martin, three-star defensive end from McDonough 35 High School in New Orleans, La., took an official visit to Alabama this weekend. It was the first time returning to Tuscaloosa for the TCU commitment since last spring.

"It was a great visit," Martin said. "I got a chance to meet some of the players for the first time. I got to meet the new DC, Coach Pruitt. It was a blast.

"Getting a chance to understand what the coaches want and being able to have some one-on-one meetings was the best part of the visit. The food was pretty good. My host was Jamey Mosley. He was cool.

"It's a great campus. The players there are driven towards being the best players they can be. I had a great time. It was all positive."

'The Process' is often mentioned with Nick Saban's formula of success. Martin learned a little bit more about it this weekend.

"I really liked being there and understanding the process of what it takes to be an Alabama football player," Martin said. "I spent a lot of time with the coaches. I spent the most time with Coach Tosh (Lupoi) and Coach Burns. They want me to play outside linebacker.

"They love the way I rush the passer. They can see me being there. My talk with Coach Saban was great. It was great to be able to understand him. I can see he loves coaching the game. I can see how much he loves to win."

There is a simple reason why Martin has a lot of interest in Alabama.

"Winning,"Martin replied when asked. "They have won four of the last seven national championships. It's a modern day dynasty team. That's basically the main reason. I like the drive they have and process they have to develop their players."

Martin remains committed to TCU. He will take an official visit to Baton Rouge next weekend.

"Alabama sits pretty good with me right now after the visit," he said. "I don't know where they are in terms of a number. They have my attention though. I will go to LSU this weekend. I will then make a final decision on signing day."
