I really don't think that at this point, there is anything more to learn about either program. Must say that this article doesn't make me feel more confident about getting RE.
Also, the title states that he's the top player in the state. What's the difference in the Mr. Footballs that Roc got and the "top player"?

Alabama's coaching staff continues to make its best recruiting push for the state's top prospect, Auburn High School linebacker Rashaan Evans, as Nick Saban and Kirby Smart visited the star recruit and his family at their home on Thursday night.
"It was a really great visit, as we expected," said Evans' father, Alan Evans. "I feel like we really got a lot accomplished. Coach Saban went into a lot of detail about their plans for Rashaan both on the field and off the field, what his chances look like to get on the field early and how they feel they can help him develop over the course of his career there."
Saban also shared a laugh or two with the family regarding the video of the coach dancing during the family's official visit to Tuscaloosa that was posted on social media by Evans' younger brother.
"He joked with us about it," Alan said. "He said he really wasn't upset at all about the video being posted. He thought it was good to show people another side of him that they don't usually get to see. Coach Saban really has a great sense of humor, that's one thing a lot of people may not know about him."
The visit was Saban's last chance to meet with Evans and his family before National Signing Day, though Smart plans to visit one last time next Saturday following Evans' trip to UCLA.
"I think we feel good about Alabama at this point and we feel like we have a great understanding of everything they have to offer."
Evans and his family will spend this weekend taking an official visit to Auburn, where they hope to continue to get a feel for the atmosphere and the personalities of both the coaches and players.
"We know the campus inside and out at this point. This weekend will be about talking more about Rashaan's role in their defense, spending time with the coaches and players, and really just having some fun."
