Kirby is one of the top recruiters in recruiting rankings every year. His ranking on 247 has been very low this year, like 210 or something I believe. What does that tell you?

Either Saban has known Kirby is leaving this year and has not had him recruiting as much as usual (in order not to build his relationship ala Steele and Thompson), or Kirby has known he was planning to leave this year and has been building personal relationships instead of locking them down to Bama because he wants to take them with him.

This here implies that you feel Kirby is a piece of shite and has been planning this from the get go. That's absolutely not true.

Hell, Georgia was a Top 8 team two months ago. Who would have thought they would fire Richt when Kirby started recruiting these kids?

If I am not mistaken Nick and Kirby have the exact same agent: Jimmy Sexton. My thought is Jimmy and Kirby have taken Nick's thoughts heavily into consideration to what occurred before, during, and what will occur now that Kirby has actually taken the job. I don't think anyone should believe Jimmy wouldn't have thought this through as he negotiated on behalf of Kirby with Georgia.....OR Nick might be re-evaluating that relationship very quickly...IMHO

I haven't been too enamored with Lane's recruiting successes while at Alabama. The best prospect he helped land was Tosh Lupoi.


I dont know if you are being serious or not but Blake Barnett and Jalen Hurts are direct products of Kiffin being on staff. I realize Bo was the lead guy on Hurts but to land a QB of his caliber requires major work from the OC and QB Coach.

Shyheim Carter:

Sources close to Carter have maintained Alabama was never out of the race and that the four-star prospect has been going back and forth between the Tide and the Bulldogs since de-committing. The same sources now believe that Alabama has moved into the driver’s seat for the Top100 prospect, citing the Georgia staff changes as a contributing factor

What is the deal with him? Why doesn't he like Kirby?

I think he's close to Jeremy Pruitt, probably the reason he decomitted in the first place.

I will legitimately be butthurt if Wilson doesn't sign with Bama.

We offered another QB in the 2017 class. This one is a 5-star from Indiana and is committed to Tennessee. I don't think we have a shot at landing him and I love Fromm so I'm not sure what the point was, but oh well. Here are his profile and highlights:
