DEL.ICIO.USAlabama recruit Atchison said meeting with Florida is doubtful

Douglass linebacker Jonathan Atchison said that it is doubtful he will meet with Florida assistant coach Charlie Strong.
“He hasn’t called, so I doubt it is going to happen,” the 6-foot-3, 212-pound member of the AJC’s The Georgia 150 said late Sunday.
However, if Strong shows up at Douglass on Monday, which was the original plan, then Atchison said he would likely hear what Florida had to say.
Atchison recently switched his commitment to Alabama from Auburn after the resignation of Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville. Atchison made the change after having a lengthy conversation with Alabama coach Nick Saban.
“I spoke with [Saban], and my mom and I felt it was the right thing to do for me,” he said.
He has an official visit scheduled to Alabama on Jan. 16.
Atchison, who had committed to Auburn in August, is the 22nd best linebacker in the nation, according to Rivals.com

Did you see what Saben did in his second year. Wait until however long he stays. I would be surprised if he ever finishes out of the top 10 as long as he coaches. Roll Tide forever.
