Top-rated cornerback commits to Alabama

Scout.com | Tuscaloosa News Archive Photo Demarcus Milliner (left), a top-ranked cornerback from Stanhope Elmore High School in Millbrook, Ala., has committed to Alabama. Alabama’s defensive coordinator Kirby Smart (pictured right with head coach Nick Saban during last season’s victory over LSU) helped recruit the defensive back to Tuscaloosa.

MILLBROOK | Demarcus Milliner, rated a five-star cornerback and Scout.com’s No. 1 cornerback in the country, has pledged his services to the University of Alabama.

“I am going to be wearing that Crimson jersey,” Milliner reported before the scheduled press conference at his high school Thursday at 1 p.m.

“I love the tradition of the program. I will get a great education at Alabama. I will have a great opportunity for playing time. Those were some of the main reasons I decided to commit to Alabama.”

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound prospect chose Alabama over scholarship offers from several schools, including Auburn, Georgia, LSU and South Carolina. Alabama’s defensive coordinator, Kirby Smart, helped recruit the defensive back to Tuscaloosa.

Milliner finished the 2008 season with seven interceptions and returned two for touchdowns. He made a total of 57 tackles with 33 unassisted. He returned two punts for touchdowns and one kickoff returned for a touchdown as well.

Stanhope Elmore head coach Jeff Foshee, a former Alabama player, said, “He has so much range that he can cover a large amount of ground, and be dangerous from any part of the field. He’s basically the air traffic controller coming out of the defensive backfield.

“Demarcus can cover receivers and also be a sure tackler as well.”

Dude runs 1400 yards in a season and he’s a no-show? That’s interesting.

I hate to break the news to the non-Bama fans here, but rest assure Milliner is Bama bound. Has been for a few months now. AU was never considered (as apparent that Milliner did not go to the Big Cat weekend.)

Milliner’s decision will unoffically open the new gym that Stanhope Elmore just built. It is brand spanking new, and it is gorgeous. I went by Stanhope and the anticipation is high. I talked to a couple of his teammates, and they definately know where Milliner is going, and I didn’t press the issue but one of the players made a interesting statement as he left to enter the new gym and he said without hesitation, “alot of fans will be ‘rolling’ with his committment.” You should be able to read between the lines.

In other words, Milliner will make official, what most Bama fans have known for months. Milliner will commit to the Tide this afternoon.

I wish this kid all the luck wherever he goes, but I hope its Alabama. Best defensive coaches will put him in the NFL. Why would he want to go anywhere else?

I had no idea he was the top rated CB in the country, but it will be a huge shock if he goes anywhere but Bama.

This kid is going to Tennessee. Kiffin is going to make sure very early in the process that he shows he can march into Alabama turf and pick the best kid in the state and bring him north. UT told the kid to commit early to set the bar. Otherwise, he would just ignore the phone calls and wait until next year to announce.

Are you kidding GOTech610? You must be a student.

lower rated players can be very good, but there is a reason the teams that win usually have the highest rated recruiting classes. Teams that recruite a lot of top rated players have more depth. If a star goes out, a star comes in. Other teams replace with weaker depth. This matters late in games which is why in general UGA beats GT late in the game. Teams that send the most players to the NFL do not do so because they are good coaches, they do so because they bring in NFL caliber recruites. If a team with sub 10 recruiting ranks sends a lot to the NFL, then they clearly are doing a great job coaching.

Better come here kid as I will be your coach forever cause there is no way I would leave for more money, er,er, not today anyway. U. of Ala Cheaters is the best cheatin school around so think of us first. If we do get caught flatout cheatin and lyin we can always blame Fulmer for squealing on us.

“Les has LSU on a serious decline.”

so an 8 win reloading season after a national championship and then the #1 recruiting class is a serious decline? you’re crazy! LSU had an off year last year but they’ll be even better this year. Now, if LSU goes 8-5 again, then we can talk but I doubt we’ll be talking!!

Don’t any of you people listen to Paul Johnson. Those ratings are bull crap. He said there only a handful of ACTUAL 5 star recruits that may live up to it. He said you can’t rate them from HS to college play. Wayshaun Ealy is highly rated, yet he played all of this games in the weakest HIGH SCHOOL division in the state of GA.

Erk Russell once said, ” the good thing about recruiting is that they all come highly recommended”. Cooper Taylor the safety for GT, who will be playing the Wolf position this year, is the fastest player on the GT squad and he has the best vertical. Paul Johnson said he is the most athletic and Scout and Rivals only gave him 2 Star, and he is the guy who caused the fumble vs. FSU last year to win the game.

These ratings are BS…

KennesawDawg….You UGA fans think everyone is an idiot if they dont end up in Athens. Dumb to stay in Alabama???? You mean to stay in state, play for a proven HC who has actually won a NC and who happens to caoch the DB’s? To stay in state and play for a school you grew up cheering for along with your entire family. You are right…what a moron.

Baton Rouge is his future home. Either way you look at it he’ll be in the Western Division. Yep, he’ll be picking off errant passes from a yet to named UGA QB. I’d rather see him in Athens but UGA defenseville is not an attractive training ground for the likes of him.

The kid’s an idiot if he doesn’t end up in Athens. National championship by the time he gets drafted. If he can’t see how coming to UGA would get him somewhere, he’s dumb enough to stay in AL.

It’ll be Auburn or Alabama… and if he really wants to play in a national championship game, it will be Alabama. Can’t remember last time the dawgs played for anything nationally and Les has LSU on a serious decline. Guess it really depends on what kind of car some Auburn booster promised him.

I don’t see how he leaves the state but if he did it would reverberate throughout the SEC, Nick Satan has made him a priority and not getting him would be an embarrassment.
