I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I just can’t make myself care about future classes until the current one is wrapped up. Around April of next year, I’ll start to pay attention to the 2020 class. Right now these kids haven’t even started their junior years yet.
Give me a Sanders or Hill commitment, that will move the needle!

Based on your earlier comments I assumed you weren't in the minority.

You're not in the minority. I pretty much skip over any 2020 commit announcement. As far as i'm concerned, they don't exist. Unless maybe it's a quarterback commitment.

Coach Kool had all of the defensive linemen over for a cookout:
Left to Right:
Tevita Musika, Stephon Wynn, Phidarian Mathis, Isaiah Buggs, Coach Kool, Raekwon Davis, Johnny Dwight, Christian Barmore, Quinnen Williams and LaBryan Ray.
The guy at the far right is Graduate Assistant Tyler Pope.

A couple of a weekend surprise
Alabama football is expected to have room for three (maybe four) more defensive linemen. Big names like Sopsher, Tuitele and Ika are often mentioned, as well TAMU commit, Leal. Another 4-Star, DT visited the Cookout. Jaquase Sorrells of Largo, FL was believed to be way down the Tide’s big board. If he was way down the board, he is no longer. Recent rumors are Tide coaches very much want Sorrells and will accept his commitment rather than waiting on all the bigger names.
It has been expected the three 5-Stars, Darnell Wright, Clay Webb and Evan Neal will have spots held for them in the 2019 class. With the current commits, the three above were thought to take up all the open OL slots. There is recent chatter, 4-Star OG, Darrian Dalcourt is another offensive lineman the Tide will take. We do not know if the interest in Dalcourt is driven by staff concern that Clay Webb will choose another school.

LINK ]Alabama Football: After the Cookout what is next in recruiting -- Ronald Evans 
quote:
Alabama football fans were hoping for new commits from the second Champions Cookout. What happened and what is next for Crimson Tide recruiting.
The second Alabama football Champions Cookout came and went with no new verbal commits. While the Alabama football staff continued pursuit of a few top players, other schools stole the weekend headlines.
The biggest splash of the weekend was made by Georgia. The Bulldogs added commits from 5-Star RB, John Emery Jr. and 4-Star LB, Rian Davis. Both players had Alabama football offers. Neither was at the top of their position group on the Crimson Tide big board. Davis is said still planning a later official visit to Tuscaloosa.
Emery is the No. 2 RB in the nation per the 247Sports Composite. The Crimson Tide plans to either sign the No. 1 RB, Trey Sanders or perhaps not take another running back in the 2019 class. The real slap in the face from the Emery commit goes to Ed Orgeron. Emery is from Destrehan, LA.
Other weekend commits were Brendan Gant to FSU and Jeffery Carter to TAMU. Gant was once a Tide commit and was still being recruited.
Another top RB, committed to LSU, Tyrion Davis was expected to attend the Alabama football Cookout but did not make the trip. Auburn commit and Tide top WR target was expected to visit Tuscaloosa on Sunday. Pickens went to Auburn and FSU during the weekend but skipped Tuscaloosa.
Other top players who did not visit for the Champions Cookout were Trey Sanders, Evan Neal (5-Star OL) and Clay Webb (5-Star OL.) Sanders and Neal were not allowed to leave IMG Academy for the weekend. Webb chose to visit Georgia. He remains a projected future Tide commit.
What happened in T-Town
The second Champions Cookout was planned to have fewer players than the June event. Almost forty players from the 2019 and later classes made the trip.
Among the 2019 visitors, the top targets for the weekend were Darnell Wright, Wandale Robinson and Christain Harris. Darnell Wright and his mother spent almost three days in Tuscaloosa. The 5-Star, No. 2 rated OT will return for an official visit during the season. He appears to be months away from a decision.
Christian Harris also traveled with his mother. The 4-Star LB is a Tide take for an ILB position. Some insiders believe the Tide staff have or will soon press Harris for his decision. Wandale Robinson is also a take for the Tide.
Robinson is a 4-Star, rated by the recruiting groups as an all-purpose back. Alabama football is recruiting him as a slot receiver. Having already taken a commitment from one slot guy (John Metchie), there has been doubt the Tide would take another one. A bigger body WR, like Auburn commit, George Pickens was believed to be the Tide’s priority.
Robinson is too good to pass on for any other player.

What is next?
The recruiting pace will slow down a bit until the season begins and more official visits are added. 5-Star safety Daxton Hill and 5-Star RB, Trey Sanders could make a decision in the next few weeks. The first big official visit weekend for the Tide will the TAMU game on Sept. 22. Wandale Robinson might come onboard that weekend. Christian Harris and if rumors are correct, Darrian Dalcourt may understand waiting with so few roster spots does not favor them.
The next NCAA Dead Period starts on Aug. 1. There is another top RB reported to be visiting Tuscaloosa before then. It is believed to be 4-Star, Ole Miss commit, Jerrion Ealy. The 2019 class is not expected to have room for Trey Sanders and Ealy

Quinnen Williams looks like he has been in the gym.

I just thought the Sorrells showing up , this is either a way to make someone they want to not wait and jump on board!!!! Or if you ain’t all in take next in line. Sorrells is a good player also. I guess Dalacourt is backup plan if I said if Webb goes else where??

Well, it's not too much of an exaggeration. Based on everything I've seen, Bama's staff is crushing hard on him. If he's not in Bama's class, it will only be because Michigan beats us out for him. They want him badly regardless of how many slot guys they signed last year. Waddle and Wandale on the field at the same time would be a nightmare to deal with. They were hoping he would commit after the Cookout, but will wait until an OV in early September it sounds like.

I think it is. "Too good to pass on for any other player" includes players such as Sanders, Webb, Wright, Neal, Sopsher, Ika, Tuitele, Leal, Pickering, Dean, To'oto'o, Harris, Thibo, Hill and Dent. That's 15 damn good players we're after that are higher priority needs. We only have 9 spots left max (assuming Cheney goes elsewhere). Which 7 of those guys should we pass on so we can take Wandale Robinson. If we take him, we can only take 8 of those 15 (9 if we don't take him).
