This offseason, Alabama fans have had little to celebrate outside of recruiting. Still, if it continues at this pace, Nick Saban's recruiting efforts may be all Alabama fans need. On Thursday, the Tide received yet another star commitment for the 2009 class.
With Auburn plucking commits away from powerhouses like Toledo, Ball State and The Lady Vols, Alabama has seen the recruiting tables turned. Which makes the commitment of 5'9" DB/RB Antonio Montana that much more important.
It was widely thought that Montana, a fiery yet controversial figure, would stay home and play for the Hurricanes. But the 4-star DB shocked everyone and chose Alabama, seemingly out of nowhere. Literally as soon as the news came across the wire that 3rd-string running back/back-up linebacker/cocaine kingpin Jimmy Johns had been taken off the scene, Montana picked up the phone and told Tide coaches he was ready to come to Tuscaloosa.
Well the good news for Tide fans is, the good news didn't take long. Montana's commitment comes at a perfect time for Tide fans wishing to shrug off the recent scandalous events.
Gump4Heisman was recently able to arrange for Alabama legend and color broadcaster Kenny Stabler - himself no stranger to controversy - to sit down with Montana and talk business.
