Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Ohio State are the last four teams standing for Kendall Milton, the five-star running back announced on Friday evening.

The news doesn't come as much of a surprise to Crimson Tide fans after the Clovis (Calif.) Buchanan was on campus in Tuscaloosa last month, a trip his dad gave a raving review of in an interview with BamaOnLine.

“It was actually pretty cool, man,” Chris Milton, Kendall’s father, told BOL of the stay. “It’s kind of like I told Coach (Nick) Saban and the other coaches … in preparing to go to Bama, you hear some adverse things about Bama, you hear some adverse things about the way Coach Saban runs his program, and so on and so forth. You go in kind of expecting a very rigid machine and that sort of a thing, but after having the opportunity to meet his coaching staff and to meet with Coach Saban and actually having the opportunity to sit down and probably spend collectively a little over an hour with him, you realize … honestly, my wife and I, we both are in business and we both equate him to the way he runs his program is like a CEO. He has his managers in place, which are his coaches, they know what they’re responsible for, they know what executionables they need to act on with the desired results, and they really just do it. For us it was less of a sports program and more of corporation, and that’s not to say it in a negative fashion.”

Alabama head coach Nick Saban, offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian and running backs coach Charles Huff are all playing big roles in recruiting the nation's No. 21 overall prospect to the Capstone.

“It was enlightening,” Chris Milton said of their talk with Saban. “He talked less about football and more about life, more about leadership, more about development. Again, like I said, my wife and I run businesses respectively in our own area, and listening to him, honestly it was motivational for us. There were some things I took back to my leadership team within my organization and quoted him on it. It was actually pretty cool, man, to sit down with him and get coached up.”

This past week, Huff was in California to stop and check in on Milton at his high school. The five-star ball carrier is expected back in Tuscaloosa for an official visit.

As of late, the 247Sports Crystal Ball has trended towards foggy. One prediction resides on Alabama at this time from yours truly.

At 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, Milton is rated the No. 3 running backs in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.
