Peter Woods- Crystal Ball Predictions

[Patton]

All good. All I am saying is that Clemson can point to a bunch of guys with almost the same measurables as him who they play as DEs in a 4 man line - edge(ish) guys. They can say you'll compete with them from day 1. We're going to be telling him you've got a lot of work to do (either gaining or losing mass) to compete for roles in our system.

Yes they are loaded up front,and will be losing some guys to the NFL after this season..

I guess the thinking is if they make the playoffs it`ll be on the backs of their D in general and their D line in particular?

You can bet the farm Bama will do their level best with this kid. Maybe snake oil has an expiration date.....

LOL I love it

And Bama will sign more guys and some of our instate recruits are criminally underrated. Saban still does the evals and chooses kids based off can they play not where they live. when did December get here how did I miss 5 months ?

Yeah...and in this day of the portal, NIL, recruiting has changed just as much as the game or more these days. Coach Saban basically created modern-day, year-round recruiting. As long as coach Saban is head coach Bama is staying at the top on the field and in recruiting. Modern day college football is what it is because of coach Saban and Alabama!

Obviously HS recruits are essential but if the portal remains unchanged, its easy to see how recruiting gaps can be closed by bringing in other players from transfers....we've been successful at it so far so no reason to think we wont continue to be...

Kelby Collins is one for sure.
