Josh Jobe made some rather interesting comments earlier this week when he told 247Sports' Hank South that there was a '120 percent chance' that he flips from Miami to Alabama.
The Crimson Tide have long been considered a threat to land the Top100 safety and based upon all the information InsideTheU has received over the past 48 hours we can report that things aren't looking good when it comes to the Hurricanes chances of holding onto the U.S. Army All-American.
Multiple people connected to the recruitment have stated that Jobe is leaning towards Alabama and planning to take an official visit to Tuscaloosa next weekend and not Coral Gables after Nick Saban met with him on Tuesday. One contact added that Jobe has pretty much gone quiet making it hard to get a read on what exactly he's thinking.
Still Miami isn't giving up. InsideTheU has learned that safeties coach Ephraim Banda is scheduled to fly up to Connecticut on Friday to see Jobe at his prep school. The Hurricanes also have the option to return next week with Mark Richt as it appears that UM is saving that card and waiting to use it at the right time.
Should Jobe however flip to Alabama it wouldn't exactly be detrimental to Miami's class. Sure, the Hurricanes love Jobe and his upside, but they also remain high on the four other defensive backs they currently have committed to Storm 18 in Gurvan Hall, Gilbert Frierson, Al Blades Jr. and D.J. Ivey.
The coaches have also kept in contact with Daytona Beach Mainland three-star safety John Huggins. The former Florida State commit told InsideTheU on Wednesday that he will take an official visit to Miami in January after he sees both Louisville and Nebraska this month.
It should be noted as well that a Jobe flip to Alabama could also help the Hurricanes sign Top100 cornerback Tyson Campbell as someone familiar with both recruitments stated that if Jobe were to ink with the Crimson Tide the SEC School would likely stop pushing for Campbell.
As for the news of Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt leaving to take the head coaching job at Tennessee we don't think that will have much impact on Jobe's decision. Jobe's primary recruiter is
Joe Pannunzio with Derrick Ansley heavily involved.
Jobe (6-1, 180) played last season at Miami Columbus. He visited Miami multiple times in July.
