I don’t see why it’s that big of a surprise. Alabama has a long standing relationship with IMG. Several kids on the current roster from there. David Balou, the Alabama strength coach, has deep ties there too.

It truly is remarkable how Saban does this sleazy shite.


Please elaborate because everything coming from LSU fans regarding his recruitment is UA outbid LSU. So if UA uses NIL it is sleazy and if LSU does it is not.

Some of you are the most delusional people I have ever seen.

Seems like the case with IMG grads.

Nah all picks are coming in for Bama. It truly is remarkable how Saban does this sleazy shite. It'll be a great day when he's not there anymore.
I mean this is pretty stupid.

Just because another school potentially offers more NIL money isn’t sleazy it’s literally part of the game now.

If you want to debate if it should be then that’s different, but facts are facts.

And I am an LSU fan btw

If you have two schools like LSU and Bama both on you unless you have some sort of tie to the university like family etc they both provide you with the opportunity to showcase your skills to the NFL.

Can’t blame a kid for wanting to capitalize when going into school with some sweet NIL cash

Yeah.. congrats Bama fans on a great CB.

Lot of LSU fans in their feelings because they can’t come to the realization that we are poor

Our NIL resources are good enough to land a top 10 class, which I’m pleased with but, we’re never landing six 5* recruits. There’s levels to this shite

This melt is reminiscent of when Arik Gilbert picked LSU over Bama.

Our fans are sore losers. If y’all outbid us y’all won.

I wanted him at LSU, so great get. Wish LSU can start landing these guys

In his presser yesterday Saban hinted that they were trying to bring on another corner. I don't think he would have dropped the hint without a pretty good idea he was going to get another corner.

Don't even know why I'm surprised. Seems like this happens every year--kid is reported to be a heavy LSU lean for months just to have Saban come in and snatch him up at the last minute. Sucks but it is what it is. Saban is the goat for a reason

Saban didn't just swoop in yesterday.

Alabama led for Ricks when he was a Class of 2024 recruit. The LSU "leads" rumors didn't start until after he reclassified.

Nothing sleazy about it. Bama is a well-oiled machine when it comes to recruiting and NIL. We aren't there yet.

Lol no shite.


He did however swoop in yesterday with a strong arse offer that we wouldn't be able to counter. It sucks but that's just part of it, and it will keep happening until we get NIL squared away on our end.

Sigh. Fine. Have it your way.

The latest on five-star 2024 CB Desmond Ricks

What's the latest with the industry's No. 1 overall prospect in the class in five-star cornerback Desmond Ricks.

The 247Sports Composite's No. 1 overall prospect is extremely high on Alabama, a source close to Ricks tells 247Sports.

"Alabama is now in the lead for Ricks," the source said following a recent visit to Tuscaloosa for the spring game. Florida State was previously in pole position. It is early in Ricks process and things can change but the source added the Crimson Tide have set the tone and "will be hard to beat."




Oof.
