re: Class of 2026 Football Recruiting

You’d think there would be mutual interest between Stewart and Bama. This will be interesting.

It will test the thought process of getting the best player available no matter what vs sticking with continuity.

We have Bond, Hale(former 5 star), Kobe, Law and Benson. Ryan Williams coming in. Those are dudes and team guys. Do you potentially upset the apple cart?

On the other hand how can you say no to an elite talent at WR added to the receiver group?

Burton and Jamo were really big needs at the time we got them. I’m not sure Stewart is.

Foreman doesn’t care about football, he is unfortunately a bust on his own accord

Nelson had shoulder surgery and hasn’t been back to 100%, I believe Miller Moss is ahead of him and is expected to be the starter barring a transfer

I see a lot of potential in the “lower rated” guys in this class. Jay Lindsey is a guy I see having a productive career here. The trio of ILBs could not be more different in playing style in the best way. Also, not much talk about Rico Scott since he has been committed so long, but his 247 comp is John Metchie who writ his name in crimson flame.

Idk what our guys are saying but A&M and Texas people seem to think Stewart is going to end up here.

Also, if Ryan Williams is the real deal… he will see the field regardless. I doubt he’s scared of competition, because on the rare chance he chose AU… they have 2 5* WRs in this class. I don’t think snagging Stewart affects him

Also… please let the Houston flip happen. That would be crazy with Houston and LT a few days apart!

It's going to be a long wait until tomorrow at 1pm ET

Sure but you’re opening up to guys transferring if he comes in. Players want to play.

I don’t want to lose Hale, Law or Prentice. Cole Adams, Henderson and incoming Amari Jefferson all have big time potential. Benson struggles to catch in traffic so I’m not mad at him leaving…he may be gone either way honestly. I think Williams would come regardless of Stewart but Auburn would definitely use it as ammo.

I’m not opposed to getting Stewart at all. Just curious if getting him is worth the potential butterfly effect. These are the tough decisions Nick has to make. I trust the man either way.

Anyone got a “schedule” of times for our potential commits? Houston, Riley, Favor, Canadian DL guy who’s name I can’t spell, etc?

So for example if Stewart did transfer here and hypothetically Williams flipped because of it(again…hypothetically) would that mean Williams wasn’t good enough to play here suddenly? How about Hale or Prentice? Guys leave for other reasons outside of “not being good enough”.

I understand your line of thinking but I don’t think it’s that simple.
