agreed, but let's not forget Cormani was a heavy Bama lean before Miami and NIL became a factor. He has to ask himself; does he want to be part of the greatest Dynasty in CFB history, playing for the GOAT, showcasing his skills on national TV every week against stellar competition all the while having a better chance of winning a NC than anywhere else on his list. decisions...

So are we getting McClain on campus for a visit in January?

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 know that Bama has put together a competitive NIL 'package' for its recruits and hope it does the same with Cormani.

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.

I would LOVE to get Duce and have an OC that would use him. I think an elite TE creates some of the most effective mismatches an offense can have.

Duce appears to be a UGA lean as of now. Would love to have him.

TE U. They couldn`t have a better TE recruiter than Brock Bowers.

 

[AlexanderFan]

TE U. They couldn`t have a better TE recruiter than Brock Bowers.

Wonder what will happen when trust fund is gone next year and some arm talent gets back there.

TE U. They couldn`t have a better TE recruiter than Brock Bowers.

and when Bowers is finish playing football, he will be the new spokesperson for Rogaine.

Great point! He could be the first college fb player to endorse a hair growth product…

 

[JustNeedMe81]

For Duce, We need to have a OC hire that will wow Duce. We got time.... Good thing we aren't pressing with both of them, so if we land them, great. if we don't.. we'll be fine.

Who knows? Could be between Colorado or Alabama or sticking with Miami.

Regardless, he can’t actually sign until NSD, right?

 

[B1GTide]

Correct

 

[4Q Basket Case]

Regardless, he can’t actually sign until NSD, right?

Correct

Given the circus around his recruitment, I’d be surprised if a commitment tomorrow (assuming it happens at all) amounts to anything more than an indication of interest.

I just wonder if it’s worth putting up with this level of self-centeredness to get the talent.

 

[BamaBoySince89]

If McClain wants to be apart of history already being made, have a shot at a CFPNC and get drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft then come on to Bama. The NIL money is there to be made (i.e. Bryce, Will Anderson), why does that have to be the dealbreaker? I think some of these recruits and their parents forget your performance is what's going to pay you. How can you demand top dollar and haven't proved anything?
