Recruiting: Alabama adds four-star recruit

Nick Saban added his 15th commitment of the season when Texan cornerback Maurice Smith committed to play for Alabama, Al.com has reported.

According to the report, Smith announced the decision via press release. He said: “Maurice Smith II (Fort Bend Sugarland Dulles c/o 2013) has researched, evaluated, and visited and has reached his decision to commit to University of Alabama and play for Nick Saban’s defense.”

He added: “I knew this would be one of the biggest decisions in my life, and at 16 it seemed almost too big, and a lot of pressure. But someone told me that I would know when it was right. It just felt right, with no pressure, or expectation, it is just right for me. Roll Tide.”

According to the report, the Crimson Tide beat out both Florida schools, LSU, Notre Dame, Texas and Oklahoma for the services of Smith, who looks pretty useful on tape.

BOTTOM LINE: Alabama reloads every year, and the 2013 one will be no exception. Frightening, isn’t it?
