Is he still scheduled to visit us before Jan 15th?

Saban hinted as much in his presser. Said that they still had one recruit scheduled to visit in January and he's the only one that makes sense.

Complicated decisions, too. I don't know anything about the McClain family but do know that 2M (the NIL figure that Miami supposedly offered him) would be life-changing for almost any family. It's hard to blame someone for taking that sort of $, even if it's short-term thinking. All that said I...

If Eli Ricks is back, we will have solid experience at corner between him, Kool-Aid and Arnold. Not to mention promising young guys like Earl Little & Antonio Kite. Even so I wonder whether Hurley or Ricks is physically/mentally ready to have an impact in year one. Two super exciting guys to get...

Any specifics on McClain or Hall, jam/Bham?

NSD isn't exactly a woe-is-me time for Bama with the class we are putting together. About the only blemish for us is that three of our top CB targets prioritized NIL over other considerations. Bad luck for so many priority targets at a single position to choose NIL. Still love Hurley and would...

Losing Carter would be disappointing (I love Carter's film) but, as others have said, with Jefferson and Russaw in the fold, combined with our signees from last season, ILB should be a strength of the team going forward either way.

Give them time. We started two future top 15 NFL draft picks at those spots this season, and another possible future first rounder (Braswell) rotating in.

My question isn't whether we re-recruit people. It's whether McClain's reconsidering Bama is in spite of the initial differences in NIL packages or whether Bama got back into it in part by increasing our offer.

Jam, I think we all heard the eye-popping price tag that Miami offered to get his commitment. Do you think it's realistic that Bama could change his mind without similarly offering insane money?

Yes, well, talent matters at some point. Peruse the last 10 years here. Very few programs rank as consistently highly as Wisconsin. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/years/2021-team-defense.html

Yes

I try to be pretty forgiving of teenagers making emotional decisions. Shoot, most people twice or thrice their age are no better at it. Still it's clear he likes to keep people guessing.

They visited Bama and AU the same number of times this season.

My favorite current Bama commit regardless of class. Tough choice between him and a healthy Jaylen Mbakwe.

Probably the best OT in this cycle. https://247sports.com/Player/Kadyn-Proctor-46099829/

Add Mike Matthews to this list. Think the interest is very real between him and Bama and maybe more realistic than the Smith-Trader duo in Florida. KJ Bolden too -- I know he plays both ways at a high level. Don't know if we are recruiting him as a safety, receiver or both...

What's the word on Kevin Riley? 2024 RB from Tuscaloosa that we just offered. Must have had a huge season because he hardly has any recruiting profile online. Edit: here are some highlights from his junior year. Looks like he has great size and some burst to boot...

I know BOB's resume and even so, I would guess Sayin isn't too concerned with whether BOB will still be here as OC.

Ones as good as Ryan Williams do.
