Five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham is the latest recruit. The No. 1 player in the state of Mississippi committed to Alabama on July 13, stating he is "1,000% committed."

Cunningham recently spoke with CJ Dew, an intern at Tide 100.9 and writer at BamaHammer. Here's what he had to say about Jamarcus Shephard, his recruitment, and Kalen DeBoer.

Cunningham was asked about his visit to Tuscaloosa to watch Alabama's 42-16 win over South Florida.

"Man, it was a good time for real. It's always a good time getting to see Coach Shep (WR Coach), Coach Deboer, and Eron (Hodges) who is the Associate Director of Player Personnel. Those are my guys and I talk to them like every day."

Who does Cunningham have the best relationship with on staff?

"Probably Coach Shep and Eron. 10/10 for sure, ain't no doubt. There aint no fake love, they show me that I'm a top commit for them"

He also talked about Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer.

"DeBoer doesn't just talk about football, we talk about life and how he sees me playing a factor at Alabama, the type of offense, my role, and how we can win a national championship."

He also met with and talked with Julio Jones, who he called his "favorite receiver."

Is there any concern for Cunningham, who is set to visit Mississippi State on September 14 and return to Tuscaloosa on September 28?

 "Aint no other place like Bama! We standing 10 toes deep! 100% Committed to Alabama."
