Has Little Tua signed with LSU yet? What time does that happen?

Saban has to adapt. The ones stealing the players are the ones that know him best. Obviously they know how he operates and how to out recruit him to an extent.


To be fair, it appears the Eboigbe situation is directly related to us continuing to pursue Nathan Pickering.

I don't know what Saban and Co. were thinking on that one because Eboigbe is the better player. It's a headscratcher for sure.

Neal, Dean and Sanders to Georgia

Williams to Auburn

Another current Bama commit, is going to flip to a rival.

Georgia passes Bama for the number 1 class.

2nd straight year Saban has got his arse kicked on ESD.

Going to be massive staff turnover after today, so the guys Bama is expecting to sign in February will probably go elsewhere.

Look for several 3 star guys to fill up the rest of this class.

At least Lee will have a spot.

If this happens we dropped the ball somehow. With him just off his official I thought we were good with him

I guess dj James? But the dude has talent and would be the final piece in a really deep sb class so it's not like we need him to contribute day 1.




Yea thats my point. I dont consider anyone we habe a backup. If we can sign Neal and keep Eboigbe id say this class is more than a success. We needed d line help.

They did solve a lot of the issues. This class will be #1 or #2, last year's class was on option C's just to scrape together.

While i am not ruling out some future five star commits this class is loaded with guys that will be the bedrock of future championships. Not a lot of prima donnas, but four star guys with a combination of talent and commitment to the process and not afraid to work and compete. I like our class and believe it will only get better.





Holy shite it's the Shula era all over again!

King Mwikuta is next on the "Flip from Alabama" train. He will be signing with Auburn in an hour.

We need to see recruiting from a needs stand point instead of a luxury standpoint. We need defense. Specifically DL and LB. As long as you meet those needs with a quality player, and then a star studded player in 1 of 2 back to back classes at a given position then you are money in the bank. Right now our top 5 players are Tua, Quinnen, Jonah, Jeudy, and Jacobs. 2 of them are 3 stars. 3 are 5. That isn’t a new trend. Marcel Dareus, Kareem Jackson, Rashad Johnson in the beginning of saban’s time here. It’s about his evaluation. Not a group of writers trying to sell subscriptions. I get star gazing is fun and there are can’t miss guys but at some point, why would you question a dude that’s won 5 titles in 9 years.

Hill never really flipped to us... His parents had him on lockdown and he sent in his LOI to scUM from home, so evaluate that how you will

Kinda off topic but they are really hyping Bo Nix on The Roundtable. Just like they did Jeremy Johnson and Jarrett Stidham. I hope they Dont place unreal expectations on that kid.

Seriously? If we lose him and Eboigbe (due to wasting our time on Pickering, who won't flip), today will be a huge letdown.

That would all make sense if Saban didn't want the guys with the stars that we are losing out on.

If we didn't recruit them then sure, agree, I'm all in on whoever our guys evaluated as the best. But we evaluated these guys as the best and wanted them. And we lost on them.
