Can get CB through the portal. Missing on recruits is not a big deal as it was. The portal changed that.
The staff now know is transferring, who is leaving for the draft, and come Wednesday will see who we sign. After they will reset focus on remaining spots and needs looking at both the portal and HS recruits left on the board.
Basically we are in holding pattern until Wednesday.

So you mean to say that Alabama is in holding pattern with remaining spots and needs to look at HS portal and recruits?
We're signing around 29 tomorrow.
Teams already filling their sports with transfer portal. Not many prospects left for Bama to look at.

It is possible to recruit prospects for class and portal at same time. no reason to be in holding pattern. As far as Feb Signing day, we may target 1-2 commits...

Flip Watch: More than a dozen high-profile prospects that could flip
quote:
Tony Mitchell
There still seems to be a lot of uncertainty as to what Mitchell will end up doing. Sticking with his Alabama commitment that he made in June is absolutely a possibility and after taking multiple visits this fall to Auburn especially, Mitchell has stuck with the Crimson Tide. The real one to watch could be Texas A&M as the four-star visited over the weekend and has always had a unique interest in the Aggies. Staying with Alabama wouldn’t be a shock at all but neither would a flip to another SEC program.

Kadyn Proctor
The Pleasant Hill (Iowa) Southeast Polk five-star offensive tackle has been committed to Iowa since late June and there have been rumors he’s told the Hawkeyes staff he’s coming but that was before a weekend trip to Alabama that supposedly went really well.
There is significant momentum with the Crimson Tide and I wouldn’t be shocked if he flips. Proctor has also visited Oregon but I’m not counting out the Hawkeyes fully yet.
Just to be clear, this article was published 15 minutes ago.

New release: Breaking down the 2023 JUCO rankings
quote:
1. MALIK BENSON
Alabama made Benson a big-time target in this recruiting class and the Crimson Tide beat out LSU, Oregon, Tennessee and Georgia this summer, as he cited the winning culture and NFL development in Tuscaloosa as two reasons why they won out.
The Hutchinson (Kan.) Hutchinson C.C. standout backed up his junior college ranking this season, leading his team with 59 catches for 977 yards and 10 touchdowns.
quote:
2. JUSTIN JEFFERSON
Alabama, Florida and Texas A&M were the three finalists for Jefferson but the Crimson Tide always seemed best in his recruitment and he ended up committing to them in late June. The No. 2 prospect in the JUCO rankings finished with 86 tackles (12 for loss) including two sacks, one interception and a fumble recovery.

UA seems to be the one of the few schools not dipping into the portal yet. I think what happens tomorrow with signings will determine how hard we hit the portal as you mentioned the board for HS recruits will be slim after tomorrow.

Southeast Spotlight: Five Early Signing Period predictions
Rivals really, really wants Georgia to finish #1 in their rankings.
Alabama is currently ranked #1 with a lead of 94 points.
Georgia "leads" for two players ranked in the Top 61 and we "lead" for three in the Top 52.
But it's going to be a photo finish.

ALABAMA AND GEORGIA WILL BATTLE IT OUT TO THE END
The Early Signing Period begins with Alabama and Georgia holding the top two spots in the Rivals’ team recruiting rankings. Both classes are already fantastic with each squad set to add more future firepower this week, but which SEC powerhouse will come out with the top 2023 class?
Georgia is waiting on two key commitments from four-star defensive tackle Jordan Hall and five-star defensive end Damon Wilson. Hall has Florida in the running but is considered a UGA lean while Wilson is also looking at Ohio State with the Bulldogs a slight favorite.
Alabama is set for a mammoth close if all the pieces come together. The biggest piece to watch is five-star Iowa offensive tackle commit Kadyn Proctor. If Proctor flips, that could seal the Crimson Tide's spot atop the 2023 throne. Also be on the lookout for five-star corner Desmond Ricks, four-star Damari Brown and in-state duo James Smith and Qua Russaw.

WATCH OUT FOR FLIPS IN THE SOUTHEAST
Alabama commit Tony Mitchell took a weekend visit to Texas A&M and Auburn has been after him, but the Crimson Tide are confident he will sign on Wednesday. Auburn is also going after Florida State defensive end commit Keldric Faulk. With the opportunity to play in-state and in the SEC, this could be the most likely of flips come Wednesday but not a guarantee.
A flip watch without mentioning Cedric Baxter just would not feel right. All reports have him firm with Texas, but after Florida missed out on Mark Fletcher, one can only wonder how those conversations are going. Florida State had Baxter committed at one point and got him on for an official; something to watch.

Good, I want all these new guys to get some time around BY and Anderson, and the rest of the guys who could have opted out but decided to play in the bowl game.

Is he an EE or nah?

Rivals has become garbage these days. I watched a video of them discussing Proctor potentially flipping and they actually sounded disappointed and tried to find reasons it won’t happen.

After seeing how long it took a really good player like Ricks to get on the field consistently I am pretty skeptical about portal DBs.
He was injured or he would’ve started from day 1.

I read that D Sanders offered him at CU. Hopefully to late in the game.

Khryee Jackson was a big miss. I thought he was a top Juco corner. He proved to just not be very good.
Posted on 12/20/22 at 9:57 am to Sl0thstronautEsq
One of their guys yesterday reported he had already decommitted from Iowa

He would have been a decent Safety. Outside of Branch and Kool-Aid, our entire secondary seemed to regress.

RBR answered my question, Proctor will be an early enrollee. That RBR article shows all the guys that are EEs and the ones who are already practicing and it's just insane.

Wow, that is great to see considering all of the losses to the portal. Big expectations for this group.

Bone finally predicted Smith and Russaw to Alabama.

Brown probably won't be part of the class because his brother committed to Miami.
