I would say we had recruiting services talent, not Coach Saban talent necessarily...Alabama kinda got caught up in the perfect storm of having to replace a lot of good coaches with mediocre at best coaches in the last 5 years of Saban's tenure, the shitshow of no in person/camp settings evaluation during the covid years and a lot of misses on talent, especially depth piece talent.
The last great rb/wr/dl players have all been portal additions. Alabama accomplished what they did on above average talent by Saban standards, along with the greatest college coach ever making chicken salad out of chicken chit assistant coaches.

Gonna be hard pull to get from the barn...a former team mate/slash bf is one of the fab 3 for AU...he grew up a Bama fan, but don't think it will help in this case.

Pretty sure other than a potential portal player from ND/tOSU, Bama is done recruiting for this cycle...the OL prospect that didn't sign early was the only potential Feb signee and he's chasing the biggest bag..other than RW last year, Bama hasn't signed a prospect in the late period in a couple years. Coaches not being hired/fired because of the February signing period is foolishness.

Really, I will say the fishing is much better at Guntersville if that's your cup of tea, but Martin is far better in every other way.

Speaking of exhausted/tired ex AU coaches, guessing Malzahan didn't sell his lake house when he went to UCF...he was at the lake for Christmas and was taking pics at the local bowling alley this past Friday night....something about Lake Martin definitely attracts Barn coaches.

DT recruiting has been a lost art since Saban arrived in 07, it's not something new with Debeor.
I went all the way back to 2012 to 2021 and got tired of looking.

3 5 stars: 2013 A Robinson, 2015 D Payne, 2019 A Alfanso, 2 oos, 1 instate, 2 were great, 1 was a head case

15 4 stars: 5 instate with Q being the only great one, 14 oos with Barramore being the only one that jumped out for only half a season at that.

J Allen was a DE initially in the class with A Robinson in 2013 which provided the great lines of 2015/16. The 2019 class on paper was great but was average on the field.

Bama doesn't produce a bunch of star DT, just average to slightly above, so we have to recruit OOS and compete with everyone else for the potential great DT's

Possibly, but remember, the Reverend Freeze told the choir that he would not lose Offord to anyone and that statement looks to be for naught....on another note, we seriously need DL/DE in the 26 class.

Malachi Moore was getting torched and talking shite like he was making plays like Biscuit...that's the whole teams MO, talk shite while getting beat like a drum by Vandy!

The ACC is slaw this year...no really good teams at all...Cristobal coaching will cost Miami at least 2 losses

How many here knew the AU slayers coach Kell and his QB left NMST and landed at Vandy to jumpstart their offense?
