There will be a dozen more ebbs and flows. We will hear that we're leading for X player and then trailing for him about 10 more times in the next few days. It will drive you crazy if you allow it. Same thing every year. There are just a few more guys this year where that's the case. Stuff will be happening behind the scenes even after this weekend. Just let it play out.


I have to disagree with you on the underlined part. I can't really remember a Signing Day during the Saban era with this much uncertainty at key positions.

We have seen this staff lose considerable momentum on supposed locks in January. That just doesn't happen, so we are in uncharted territory. Surely the staff will close strong but this is not a "same thing every year" situation by any means.

I wasn't being serious, we have Nick Saban as our HC, we will finish with a great class.

Did you come up with that quote in your signature? If not, where can I find it?

It has him listed as a 6-1 194 lb....OLB???

I assume we're looking at him for safety.

If we hold on to all our players in next year class we will be a dominate number 1 class.

This season is just a little strange.

It's not strange. We just haven't gotten all of our commits during the season. It's a 2008-2009 type recruiting year

This is 6 years and 4 national titles later. You'd think people would be breaking down the doors to come to bama.

On a positive note Jake Fromm seems fully committed to the tide and raves about how much he can't wait to get here in the Bol article

But think about it... Ole Miss has the same number of first rounders this year as we do WITHOUT a title. Many of these kids aren't concerned with TEAM goals as much as they are PERSONAL goals.

He has been all Michigan for a while, but damn I wish Saban could of worked his magic on him.

That's the thing. College football has become path to the NFL over team success for bluechip recruits over the last couple years. That is what makes me love the players that do come here because they come ready to play football.

Wilford Brimley might be the oldest fat person of all time. Gotta be a record or something
