So here's the story from the Bama board this mornng:
Peach State DB Isaiah Bond 'starstruck' by Alabama offer
Alabama has extended a few new 2022 offers in the last few days, one of which went to
Isaiah Bond of Buford (Ga.) on Wednesday. The rising Peach State cornerback adds the tender to a list that includes Georgia, Miami, Nebraska, and others.
“A starstruck moment to be able to receive an offer like that,” Bond told BamaOnLine. “These things don’t come around often. Also shared the moment with my teammate, Jake Pope, he also has an offer, so we talked over it a couple times when I got it. It’s a great overall feeling.”
A recent track time in the 100 meters cemented Bond on some recruiting boards, both the Tide and Bulldogs’ included.
“(
Charles Kelly) said we love your film, your playmaking ability, your speed also,” Bond recalled of his conversation. “He said he saw my track time also when I ran 10.7.”
Bond hasn’t been on a formal visit to Tuscaloosa. He says his mom told him they’ve been to games at the Capstone when he was a small child, but Bond has no recollection of the events.
A visit is likely in the works once the Dead Period lifts.
At the moment, Miami leads the 247Sports Crystal Ball.
“Miami, they stand high on my board right now,’’ Bond said. “But it’s not only my decision, but also a family decision.”
A top schools list is in the works.
“I will have one coming out soon,” Bond replied.
What will have UA in contention?
“I’d probably just say the tradition. It’s a huge program; it’s a winning program,” Bond said. “There’s nothing bad you could say about the program.”
