Alabama had two big four-star pickups the past 24 hours.

“Everybody was excited,” Smith said. “You know Saban is a man of few words. He keeps it straight to the point. Coach Sal, he called my mom excited and everything. I haven’t gotten a chance to speak with Coach Baker yet, but I’m pretty sure he’s pumped up as well.”

“I’ve heard people always say DaRon Payne sat in (Saban’s) office at the age of 15 and was offered, and last year was the same exact thing for me as a sophomore,” Smith said.
