We offered two Class of 2020 guys today from the same high school as Calvin Ridley and Jerry Jeudy.

First up is a WR:

The early sigining period might prevent Bama from flipping guys they might would have flipped before.

Only 10 commits (don't include Walker, he won't sign with Bama) in late October and the early signing period a month and a half away. Its about time to start freaking out.

When the stud recruits start going elsewhere and Bama has to take lower ranked guys, that is when the dynasty starts to decline.

OL and DL are the two most important portions on the field.

Everyone just remember, when Bobby chooses a school, it's his prerogative. We have no say.

Can you imagine a few of the people on this board when Saban retires? They may literally end their lives when that happens.

Nah, the man is 66 years old. We all know 5-8 more years is all we're getting. As long as we land a good coach like Dabo or Jimbo instead of promoting an unproven assistant, Mike Dubose style, most will be excited for the next chapter.

I agree with remaster. No dynasty last forever. This is just one recruiting class and were fine next year however if this is a trend, well that's different

The two CBs for Bobby Brown to A&M from this morning just disappeared.

And that's because Bobby Brown committed to A&M.

Most elite guys won't sign early IMO. That's the period when you lock up most of your mid-tier guys.

Was just checking aggie boards and saw Sarge posted they got him. Not likely to make or break the class for you guys, but never like to swing and miss.

Just couldn't pass up those 8-4 seasons and playing for a coach that's on the hot seat every year!

Starting to wonder if our new staff additions all suck at recruiting. Pruitt, where you at baw? Dunbar hasn't done jack, and even Ansley...Tosh is the only guy on defense you hear recruits talk about. May be time for Saban to refocus on staffers who can recruit. What's Trooper Taylor doing these days?

It's almost comical at this point. Seems like it's been a few years since our last commit. Common' Saban, bring one into the fold.

Well, since no Bobby Brown, I guess we now try for Bel Biv Devoe and Color Me Badd.
