Dixon states his case...
Travell Dixon told Tide fans that he wavered on 'Bama and started to think about FSU. Enter Grandmother. End of story. Another recruiting story has a happy Crimson ending. My maternal grandmother had a similar impact on my life. I don't mean that she convinced me where to play college sports, but she convinced me that good is better than evil. I suspect that Travell's grandmother thought that sending him to Nick Saban would keep and out of trouble and make sure he behaved. I bet she also thought that Coach would make her grandson a rich young man. Dixon seemed to acknowledge that CNS development of junior college players was the final decision maker for him deciding on 'Bama. (not minimizing grandmom).
Let's put this comittment into proper perspecstive. The University of Alabama just landed the top defensive back out of the Juco ranks. Though not frequently stated, Dixon was also the # 3 prospect coming out of those valuable two year programs overall. He is 6-2 and weighs 200 lbs. We have been told that he hits like a runaway freight train. He also had 5 interceptions which was no small feat since no one ever threw his way. I bet they didn't like to run his way either. He has garnered 4 stars.
It appears that more and more select JUCO players are looking at 'Bama as the team to consider in order to have their NBA careers started in the right direction. Alabama is becoming part of the lexicon for the right direction. Since the Tide doesn't sign a lot of junior college players you have to assume that Saban sees immediate benefit from the Dixon decision. Alabama needs a great defensive back to replace the two or three that are leaving this season. Dixon solves part of that problem. Not only is he a great player, he is a key to this Bama recruiting class...
