It has become fashionable for talking heads etc to ask something along the lines of: Is Alabama on the decline?
In the last four completed recruiting cycles, according to 247, Alabama had 46 FIVE STAR commitments. For comparison, UGA had 30 and Ohio St 24. Texas A&M had 25, which includes that famous "paid-for" 2022 class that had 14.
They were terrible last year, losing two whole games last year on the road on the last play against two double digit win SEC rivals. I hope they do OK this year, and their mediocre coaching staff doesn't screw it up.

Why is Alabama so desperate to find starters from the transfer portal when they’ve been recruiting so well?

Until the day comes that Saban is no longer coaching from the sidelines, Bama will not be in “decline.” Even by their standards, 10-12 wins in the SEC is not a decline.

Only two of the top three picks this year? Oh, how the mighty have fallen!!!

Yeah, I hope Alabama loses every game this year and then loses an extra couple for good measure.

During that time they have 1 NC*
BTW I count 23 5 stars for Bama, 18 for UGA, didn’t check the rest (used 24/7 composite)
35 Draft picks for Bama last 4 drafts, 41 draft picks for UGA

They were a few points from having 4 losses.

I think Georgia has a say in this

There still isn't any real prob with the updyke nayshin. The perceived problem is the narrative espn pushes that if you aren't in the hunt for the national invitationalship then your program is bad and cannot possibly be good.

Here, you earned it.

As long as “the process” is there...Bama will always be a force.

Josh just covered this on his Late Kick. Alabama is by far at the top of the Blue Chip ratio.

It's not about the five stars it's about the changing climate of college football. I don't think ANYONE will dominate football like Saban did the past 15 seasons. Having to deal with NIL, a 12 team playoff, Tennessee Having a pulse, Texas Oklahoma,and the rest of the regular SEC slaughter house, makes it nearly impossible. Players can transfer at almost anytime forcing even the ultimate elite teams into a constant portal and recruiting grind. How long do you think Bama will outbid Texas and USC for players? Alabama isn't going anywhere, but the days of 7titles in like 12 years is done for everyone. That's exactly how the football powerbrokers wanted it.

2nd place is still very respectable

They're in a decline
