They used Joseph,Emory Jones and Wood-Anderson losses as the premise for a losing day. That is some shallow understanding of our recruiting class. While we would have liked to have them on board they were not the irreplaceable parts of this class,as we Alabama fans know. And finishing fifth and OSU finishing second cannot be termed as Biggest losses of the day.

ESPN and SI don’t exactly understand recruiting.

Best-case February NSD, imo:

Commits:
1) 4* DE/DT Bobby Brown ("Tre") 6-4/282
2) 4* OLB Quay Walker 6-4/220
3) 3* ILB/ATH Vernon Jackson 6-3/240
B) 3* TE Michael Parker 6-6/230

Targets:
4) 5* OT Nicholas Petit-Frere 6-6/272
5) 5* CB Tyson Campbell 6-2.5/180
or 5* CB Isaac Taylor-Stuart 6-2/187
6) 4* ILB JJ Peterson 6-1.5/210
7) 4* WR Justyn Ross 6-4/201
8) 4* QB James Foster 6-3/210
B) 3* S/LB Kevontae Ruggs 6-4/190

8 Open Spots + 2 Blueshirts (Parker & Ruggs)

In-depth look at Alabama’s uncommitted targets after 2 days of early signing period

I like that list. But want Malik Langham somehow. He’s underrated.

It's really relative to expectations. OSU started first and fell down. alabama missed on a few. Emory Jones shouldn't be that big of a loss, but alas it doesn't really matter what SI thinks.

I’ve appreciated everyone’s welcome back over the last few days. I was an a-hole on my way out during the fallout from the iron bowl last month.

I guess admins thought it was funny too. My reason to let me back was “I’m sorry I’m self banned myself by shite posting on the LSU scoreboard”.

It's a'ight. Our piss-poor performance stung a lot. We just gotta hope for the best -- that the coaches and team learned the lessons that loss glaringly teaches and fix the issues.

Edit: I must've missed your self-ban rant.

Yep. Other than MSU, the SEC teams with HC changes were big losers: Arky, UT, OM, UF, ATM.

FSU as well. What Jimbo did to them is cruel.

Hell if what we have signed right now and have committed vs what our needs are is considered “losing” then maybe losing isn’t such a bad thing after all. I like what we have on board so far, did we miss on a few? You bet but it in no way makes us big signing day losers.
