Bama has signed incredible recruiting classes recently. Do you know what you’re talking about?

Yet we still managed to get to the SECCG and win a playoff game.

Bama has made it cleared they will only pay so much and are more focused on recruiting under the radar players. We overrate 5 stars too much.

Didn't a 2027 player flip from Alabama to Auburn? only in the NIL era is something like this possible

I love how Bama people keep parroting this like it's a significant accomplishment for a program with 18 natties, my how the standard has lowered

Is it just me, or are these threads sounding more and more desperate?

You have to remember how many people here were certain Alabama was doomed when Saban retired. They said 6 and 8 win seasons were going to be the future. Last year’s 11 win season derailed their dream. They are lashing out. Angry. Hurt.

shaky 11-win season since a bunch of those games were close and could've gone either way, got away with some wins they probably shouldn't have

Well no one is, the game has completely changed, with nil and transfer portal you can’t afford to. Most everyone has adopted an NFL model of what each position should cost you year to year. It’s not cost effective to pay back ups starter money.

Alabama is in deep deep trouble. DeBoer is in over his head. Tough times ahead in gucalooska that’s a fact

Alabama is 20-8 since then. Half of those losses have been to unranked teams. We just saw Alabama get blown out in 2 of its final 3 games of the season and then extend their coach and give him a raise for that performance.

That's a pretty big drop off from semifinal appearances every year and natties every other year or so.

But Bama used to sign 15+ 5 stars every year, not three. I think that's the point of the matter.

Why doesn't Bama sign 15 or more a year still?

There is no desparation, just facts.

Every team can pay players now, openly, not just Bama behind the scenes.
