I Miss Fun Recruiting and Exciting Signing Days

Those pre-NIL and early signing period days under Saban were so much fun. It was like Christmas morning. Fax girl era was peak.
Now...I'm glad to see us ranked highly in recruiting...glad to see when a 4 or 5 star commits...but I don't follow it at all like I used to. They've really sucked the fun out of it. If we have a top 7-8 class annually, I'm fine...because with NIL and the portal recruiting rankings don't even mean as much as they used to.

With the transfer portal and NIL it doesn't really matter as much what your recruiting rankings are. Most of these guys won't be around in 3 years. Look at all the guys that signed 3 years ago and would be juniors:
Caleb Downs
Justice Haynes
Dezz Ricks
Jahlil Hurley
Tony Mitchell
Dylan Longergan
Eli Holstein

Fax Cam Girl and all recruiting coverage on ESPN was awesome. There is barely any coverage of signing day on TV anymore.

It's also because your older, now.

That's a fact lol.
But I think I'd still follow it more if it was like it used to be. Transfer portal free for all annually killed that.

The first fax girls were several yrs before her.
