For those that don’t know, the song is called “choosin Texas”

As Herbstreit said, the “brand took a hit” during the Rose Bowl. The blowout in the SEC Championship left its mark too.

But the biggest issue is everyone can pay top dollar now and it isn’t confined to being under the table as it was with Saban in Tuscaloosa and Kirby in Athens.

Texas sure hasn’t been kind to y’all this round. But, Bama will still field a good team next year.

Who has Bama signed in the portal so far

I feel like they are getting ravaged

We've got a solid DT from USC, a couple bargain OL, a great Punter, and a 6'4 corner from Mercer.

Honestly its not terrible so far, but we've had the obvious 2 big misses.

If an LSU fan posted this here it would have dozens of lol emoticons

But to be fair this is a laughable haul so far.

Auburn fans pretending they're not dirty AF simply because they've been losing a lot will always be amusing to me.

It’s been a net negative so far when you count all of the departures in the portal.

A lot of former top 100 recruits have left and there aren’t many they’re being replaced with.

Interesting

There have been dozens of topics created by every fanbase about how Kiffin can’t get a QB and has sucked in the portal and was somehow the worst part of the Ole Miss coaching staff etc

Y’all should expect some blowback

If that’s the case why has high school recruiting not declined any at all?
The portal is where the blame should go!

Oh I know. Im usually a troll myself, but im trying to tune up more to being a serious poster around here.

Alabama is going to have elite QB play to make it back to playoffs. Some of yall are building crazy rosters.

You can still get HS recruits at a bargain. Top experienced players come at a premium price.

Please, we didn’t buy all of those #1 recruiting classes year after year.

I can promise you Nick Saban’s lukewarm personality wasn’t the one attracting all of those high school players to Tuscaloosa.

He was great at getting the boosters aligned to open their checkbooks and Kirby took that blueprint with him to Athens.
