2026 Recruiting

[TiderJack]

Well, Texas is trying to buy Xavier Griffin and we probably need to be concerned.

No surprise here but we made 5* S Jett Washington's final 3. Would be incredible to get two 5* safeties in this class but Oregon and USC are throwing around a lot of money. We shall see and would love to add another Jett to this class. This article also shows OV's this weekend with several of our elite targets.

Alabama in Top Three for 5-Star Safety

Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide staff look to be possibly closing in on another 5-Star commitment in the 2026 class.

My gut tells me we are a hat on the table for this guy...but, I hope I'm wrong.

You may be right and hope you are wrong also.

Im at the point od rather have the player that has a desire too win championships and not the desire too be rich.

With all the money these schools are throwing around seems like a good time to jack up the asking prices of players you know you’re not gonna get. Maybe I’m petty (I am) but hey if you know what a “texas” ‘s ceiling is why not offer just under that and force the Texas type teams to pay top asking prices. Bleed them out over a five ten year span. Fine you’re gonna give that LB 3 mill? Cool that means you won’t give this OT tackle 2 anymore and we swoop in

The parents/agents are already doing that...

Seriously, the only way that Texas would know what you offered is by the kids "reps" telling them, whether its true or not.

4* Edge Kamari Brooks is announcing between Bama and UGA on 6/24. Will be tough to get him and we already have Matthews committed and Griffin trending toward us at edge.

4-star EDGE Khamari Brooks sets commitment date to choose Alabama or Georgia

Khamari Brooks is one of the most coveted pass rushers this cycle and he is set to commit to Alabama or Georgia next week.

From some Georgia guys I know , they believe he is all Georgia. Kirby really likes the kid. I know he isn’t a top edge on 247( still highly rated) but from what I’ve heard , Kirby has recruited him hard. If we pull Brooks, I’m really feeling good about DeBoers recruiting chops!

I do that on EBay and Gunbroker. . Sometimes I end up with something I didn’t want for the price, but it’s the price I pay for being Petty.
