This doesnt include all the NIL crap that is going on. I keep reading that Ga is way outspending us in recruiting the last couple of years.

Bryant Award winners Academic All-American Kat Rogers from soccer for the women along with two-time winner of the Nagurski Trophy, as well as the Bednarik Award, Rotary Lombardi and Lott IMPACT Trophy winner and All-American Will Anderson Jr. for the men.
The Paul W. Bryant Student-Athlete Award, created by the Tuscaloosa County Chapter of The University of Alabama Alumni Association in 1985, is presented annually to UA's top male and female student-athlete.

Alabama Athletics Continues to Post Strong Numbers in NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate
A total of 15 Crimson Tide teams posted APR scores better than 990, including eight that scored a perfect 1,000
INDIANAPOLIS – All 21 University of Alabama athletics teams continue to score well above the national cutoff standard in the latest Academic Progress Rate (APR), which the NCAA announced this week. Figures released cover the four-year period extending from the 2018-19 through 2021-22 school years.
All 21 Crimson Tide teams posted scores that matched or were above the national average in their respective sports to highlight another strong year in the classroom. Both the football (995) and men's basketball (1,000) teams led the way as both bettered the national average in their sport by more than 25 points and were two of 10 UA teams in their sport to surpass the national average by double-digits.
In addition to men's basketball, men's and women's golf, men's and women's tennis, gymnastics, soccer and volleyball all reached perfect scores over the four-year stretch. Those teams were joined by men's swimming and diving (998), women's swimming and diving (998), softball (997), football (995), rowing (995), women's track and field (993) and women's basketball (991) were among the 15 UA programs with scores of 990 or better.
A total of 11 Crimson Tide programs ranked at the top or tied for the top APR marks among Southeastern Conference teams in their respective sports, with football, men's basketball, men's golf, women's golf, gymnastics, soccer, men's swimming and diving, women's swimming and diving, men's tennis, women's tennis and volleyball ranked No. 1.
The Academic Progress Rate measures the eligibility, retention and graduation of student-athletes competing on every Division I sports team. It also serves as a predictor of graduation success. The NCAA's Division I Board of Directors set cut scores of 930 (out of 1,000) as a threshold for teams to meet or face possible immediate and historical sanctions.

For volleyball, I think the new coach is good but having watched them play in person, they need a big influx of talent. Hopefully, she can bring some in.
