On300 running back Javari Burnett committed to Illinois back in April, just two months after Alabama extended him an offer. Since then, the Tide have remained in pursuit and got him on campus for an official visit this weekend.
“It’s the relationship. We’ve been talking for a while,” Barnett told BamaOnLine last month of what stands out about Alabama. “He [RBs coach Robert Gillespie] had the chance to come down and meet my mom. He spoke to my mom and he’s so in tune with my family. My mom loves him.”
Barnett is a three-star in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. But in the most recent On300 rankings, he was tabbed as a four-star and the nation’s No. 276 overall prospect.
