One thing I'm gonna miss most about Coach Saban is the out of nowhere big name recruit he would flip from someone or the uncommitted 5 star nobody thought we were in on he would sign on signing day.


I mean, I'm not sure how much that actually happened, but the RUMBLINGS about it were iconic and should be cherished by all Bama fans.

Yeah but haven’t seen that since Ashawn Robinson. That had died off unfortunately but I do remember having threads about who recruit X would be that particular year.

Saw Ryan Williams liked a post on IG saying he’s 100% committed to Bama.

He reportedly has young siblings he wouldn't want to move far away from.

He's making good NIL at BAMA.

He's close with our new QB signee as well.

Im still not sure where this idea he would transfer even came from. You're playing for your home state school, arguably the biggest brand in the country, and you are THE guy. You don't make much more money elsewhere if you do transfer

I just think it’s the changing landscape. But you don’t see stars/ starters leaving UGA, Ohio state, Bama, etc unless there is a coaching change. And it’s because they are taken care of

Wishcasting from opposing fanbases who were absolutely sure Bama would fall off a cliff when Saban retired and are now reduced to hoping a freshman wide receiver transfers.

Jihaad Campbell kind of came out of nowhere at the end of that cycle.

ETA Surtain was also a late surprise for that class.

Nothing will ever beat the Rashaan Evans race where Saban out danced Malzahn at a family event

The Cyrus Kouandjio saga was also an epic one.

That was insane. Also Brent Calloway. The barn went crazy before NIL was legal in 2011.

He of course never did shite and eventually got kicked out of school for criming, but Brent Calloway was also some pretty surreal drama.

ETA: beat to it.

2 instate recruits is awful unless it is a week instate class like the 2018 instate class.
