Sewell announces at 4PM CST. Probably Oregon bound but maybe we pull a crazy flip

Offer him not 1, but 2 scholarships.

I agree with what someone said earlier. The ESD is going to force Saban and co. to be more aggressive in taking commitments from players earlier than normal because slow playing kids like we do most years in hopes of landing higher rated prospects can leave you empty handed like what happened this year.


Agreed, and since we need several DL and LB recruits, if they're a good player and want to commit, we pretty much have to take them. We can't afford to slow-play at those 2 positions, or we will really be hurting in 2019.

Y'all are going to jump me, but I've believed there was something wrong going on at Bama all year. Either the coaches were fighting or something going on in the locker room.

Or, a whole lot of negative recruiting going on.

I'm hoping Coach Saban has got it straightened out.

Still got a decent signing class & hope for a better one next year.

My hope is that we have more success gunning for the top prospects with our new staff than we obviously did this year. A good balance between knowing who to take and when to take them as well as being elite closers (like in the past) would be ideal

We still got a good class. Just remember classes aren't decided until years later. There's things to be disappointed about but we got quite a few instant impact guys IMO

Still unsure why everyone keep saying we can fill out a 3 deep on the DL. A lot of time the same guy is a back up for a starter. Really it all boils down to being a bunch of spoiled asses when it come to recruiting.

Saban slow played the hell out of some recruits in this class and it came back and bit him in the arse.

Could have had Seth Williams in this class at receiver.

Parker being able to sign today, shows just how bad today went.

8 spots open today and Bama is only able to fill 4 of them.

I can buy that because it ties into the Thursday morning arse chewing and the knowledge of having shitty recruiters like Dunbar and Daboll on the staff. Saban learned and evolved like he always has. That's why he is the GOAT and why we love him. 2019 will be just fine on the trail.

After Jaylen Waddle's announcement I will be officially stepping down.

We got our asses kicked today.

The top DT in the country apparently isn't considering us, so either he is mentally challenged and can't see how razor thin we are, or he hasn't had time to build a relationship with the new staff. I suspect it's the latter.

When will the whole "transfer freely" thing start?

Let's just go recruit the shite out of all the best players currently on teams. Sounds fair to me.

We got our arse kicked today. If you can’t see that, that’s homerism at its finest. This class is a huge letdown, we will feel it on the field soon enough
