The program doesn’t need a rebuild (yet).
Respectfully disagree. Many came to play for Nick, not Alabama. We were fine with that as long as he was coaching. With him gone you have to build a team that wants to play for CKD and Alabama. Holding on to kids to avoid looking bad is not the way to go about it.

Modern players aren't committing to any school to olay just for the school. It's not a Bama problem, it's a college football problem.

Bryce Young and Will Anderson played in a bowl game and put their careers on the line.

Jaden Daniels opted out after he got his individual award. He didn't love LSU.

Totally agree. Id rather rebuild with the right guys who are committed to the university and coaching staff than beg people to stay who are viewing year 1 as a “lets see how this goes and then decide” season. Rip the bandaid. Let the doubters move on now and backfill with players excited to be in DeBoer’s system.

Something like 90% of our players came from out of state to play for Saban. We are going to lose some of them and that’s ok.
