Honestly, it might be time to look at the JC ranks for players. Most of the best ones are already signed but there are still a few left. We’re (sadly) at the point where we’re being left with crumbs.

Honestly, we’re in this situation because either:

1. Courtney Morgan is incompetent and getting schooled or refuses to adapt to the changing nature of the portal.

OR

2. We’re broke and have almost no NIL game.

OR

3. The staff hasn’t figured out a good sales pitch to portal players as opposed to HS recruits (which they’ve done well with). I don’t think you can use the same sales pitch.

I know this is going to enrage some of our posters but it seems pretty obvious to me. Hopefully, Morgan and CKD get this sorted quickly.

Apparently gets schooled all day everyday by portal players and rival coaches.

Only way to right this before it goes wrong is by paying for your own mistake literally. Letting him leave without signing a contract was absolutely fricking retarded. Now you get a notary over to him with an Alabama rep and give him a signing bonus to sign tomorrow morning. QUIT frickING AROUND AND MOTHERfrickING GET IT DONE YOU LIMP DICK frickS

Sorry if already posted, but apparently our running back “commit” Smothers is eyeing up a visit to Texas.

I’m perfectly aware we don’t have a billionaire donor, but if we start losing portal guys two days after they pledge to bama then what is Courtney Morgan employed for.

For the record I think Crowell is a top 5 back in college football next year, but at some point you’ve got to let the world know you aren’t a fricking intersection transient in the portal. I refuse to believe we’re just dead broke, look around at the facilities that took booster money. It’s high time to start swinging dick or get left in the corner with the simps.

You’re correct. Tired of this we don’t have money rhetoric. You won 6 fricking national championships in 11 years. What did you do with all that money you generated? Blow it? Ever heard of investment for the future? And I dont mean in locker lights and video games. Nobody give a dick about that shite. Should have ramped the frick up in 2021

I think Morgan needs to go. It’s obvious they are in over their head. The fact that we can’t attract quality portal players with our facilities and exposure is a huge red flag. These kids want to be paid but they also want to be on TV and have a path to the NFL. We should not be struggling this much

It’s fricking ridiculous. Put your tight end coupon book away and go sign elite players or lose your damn job. shite is maddening. Greg Byrne should be the first on the chopping block when we go 8-5 next year. This isn’t fricking Washington man.

Maybe the board will wake the frick up when we all stop donations. I’m not paying for another single month of this shite I signed up for if we can’t feel at least solid about the portal. We don’t get smothers and Coleman with losing out on the other players we have, I’m done.

This.

Alabama also hasn't had to pay a coach's buyout while basically every other team in the conference has spent millions on buyouts the past decade.

Where has the money gone? Maybe the athletic dept needs to be audited.

Seriously.

We have an arrogant staff. They won with less at Washington and think they can do it here as well.

Or maybe they’re tired of blowing money on kids that don’t produce or can’t be developed. People think it’s sustainable for colleges to keep paying $2-5 million each on players that do not progress or end up being less than elite, but it’s not. The portal and NIL are still new. Eventually some of these schools are going to crash hard after blowing their wad on players that don’t win championships because donors and boosters aren’t going to be willing to keep losing millions with nothing to show for it.

To be honest the majority of the kids in the portal that have committed already we have no clue how many of them actually signed anything yet.

Either way DeBoer's future will depend on how we finish in the portal.

Why would you want to be a RB for bama at this specific point in time? Currently the OL is going to be 6 TEs blocking for you.
