Ahhhh, it's that time of year. Time for Georgia commits to start making their way west to Tuscaloosa. While elite running back Derrick Henry hasn't announced he's flipping on UGA for Alabama, that would appear to be a highly possible event, considering he recently visited the Tide.

Here's SB Nation recruiting analyst Bud Elliott from last week on Henry:
Henry seems dead set on playing running back, so any school looking to sway him from Georgia must convince him that it wants him at running back and will not move him to tight end or defense.
Henry is a consensus four-star recruit and one of the top athletes in the country. With Alabama and Georgia firmly in the mix to land the top class in the country, Henry's commitment could be the difference on National Signing Day.
I'd also like to point out that during filming of next week's Shutdown Fullback, Bud predicted Henry would pull his commitment from the Dawgs and end up with the Tide. Not even this week's episode, but next week's.
