Alabama RB coach Robert Gillespie visited in-state 4-Star RB

Alvin Henderson posted a picture of Alabama’s running back coach Robert Gillespie visiting him Thursday at his basketball game to social media.

Henderson is a four-star running back out of Elba High School in Alabama, and he holds more than 70 offers with Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia and others heavily involved in his recruitment. 

The Elba product was considered a top target for Alabama when Nick Saban was the Crimson Tide’s head coach.

It looks as if he will continue to be with Robert Gillespie remaining in Tuscaloosa as the Tide’s running back coach and Henderson’s recruiter. 

Henderson raved about Gillespie’s message to him during one of his recent visits to Tuscaloosa. 

“His message to me was, ‘You know how we feel about you around here, just do you and keep balling’. Coach G (Robert Gillespie) and the rest of the staff is all telling me the same thing, ‘Come home Alvin. Alabama is home.’”
