Hopefully Hill can take that step. "Pass rusher" is quietly the thinnest position group on the team in my opinion. Pierre got knicked up a bit last year too. Maybe Griffin will see some time situationally here


Losing Noah Carter to Georgia Tech could be our biggest loss of any player on last year's team.

Thanks for the lists. You’re right, what a high number of “hits” in that class. Just another example of the evaluation and closing abilities of this staff.

I'm not opposed to that if he's not going to be 100%, but I'm starting to worry about him being a meaningful contributor this season. Kid just can't stay healthy enough to practice

DeBoer specified it was an ankle injury today.

Im liking Pritchett over Edwards. More dynamic, imo.

I dont think we will see 3 TE sets but I think we will frequently use 3 TEs or more.

Edwards looks like Tarzan but plays like Jane.

High ankle sprains are nasty for skill players. You can be “close” for a month, run full speed straight line and do ladder drills, and still not be able to cut laterally on it without pain and restriction. They are also prone to reinjury if you rush it.

I’m assuming that’s what this is.

There’s no reason to rush him back. I thought it was notable that DeBoer said in his most recent interview that basically he has seen enough already in practice to know what he has. That tells me when he’s physically ready, he's going to get an opportunity. This is not a “he’ll get buried on the bench because he hasn’t practiced enough for the coaches to trust him out there” situation.

Full quote from Alabama GM Courtney Morgan on Hey Coach: "Let's get this straight. I think there's a narrative created Alabama doesn't want to pay players or doesn't have money. That's not what it is. We are very cautious and risk averse. "We really take the time to get to know the young men who we want to bring in the building and invest our money into. I think I saw something today on the internet about our (2025) class. I think nine players are starting and another four are going to contribute. That's a testament to us taking the time to evaluate the right people and not take risks with the money we're being responsible to spend on talent from the university. "There's a narrative Alabama doesn't have money or Alabama doesn't want to pay players. I think we just really take our time and choose the right people. That's really what we're sticking to. It's something the whole athletic department values."

So he's saying that Alabama is not broke.... That goes against what everyone was saying on this board for months ... Bama is broke. They can't afford this and that.

I've been saying this since the NIL bullshite became a thing. We are going to have to go back to getting a good mix of players that either grew up as diehard gumps (IE Trent Seaborn, Ryan Williams) or find players that are can be molded into ownership of the standard and the brand.

I'm OK taking a player that's a 4* 4th generation Gump over a 5* hired gun that's going to bail at the next highest bidder.

It's like Bear used to say. Take a 3 star and coach him up into a 4* and then make him believe he's a 5*.
