2024 WR Perry Thompson commits to Bama

  • HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two)

    Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation)

    if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!

I wonder if some of our "struggles" and I use that word very loosely in recruiting for the 2024 class has to do with changing our coordinators. Don't get me wrong it absolutely had to happen. But it might be a contributing factor because it seems like we are killing it in 2025 and missing on some guys in the 2024 class (Just a theory).

I saw a Tweet last night that I believe was a quote of PT's that gave his "reason" for the flip.

It was basically a statement he made about CNS being really good at getting defensive backs in the league, but that Freeze was good at getting receivers in the league.

I kid you not...that's what he supposedly said. This looks like the case of a recruit NOT knowing his facts and possibly getting hoodwinked by another program with some negative recruiting and downright lies.

To suggest Freeze gets receivers into the league and that CNS doesn't is a denial of facts and reality! I mean, we know that it's not even close to Freeze being better or even close to being successful in the amount of receivers they both have got to the league. CNS leads by a mile!!!

Again, I say CNS will not quit recruiting this kid and the first time he talks to him he needs to set the record straight, big time!!!
Well..... I mean.. you have to be smart to attend college.....

Who said we're missing on some guys.... :)

Fans are saying that, not the staff. There's 1a, 1aa, 1b, 1bb in order of how they view prospect. I would be willing to bet we'll flip few players from other school. It's august. Have faith. Long way to go.
 
I think I’ve settled on the notion that he had to have a better reason than, “Auburn’s NIL package was sweeter, and earlier,” because that just makes him look bad.

I absolutely agree with you. "Struggle" may not have been the best choice of words. It was just kind of a theory. I have seen so many videos the last few weeks with headlines like why insert "georgia", "Lsu", "South Carolina," "Auburn," "Florida" "Tennessee" are about to dominate because of recent commits. It makes me roll my eyes. That can't be all true at the same time...I feel like everyone is a "4-5 star" or a "can't miss" prospect that's going to change the trajectory of college football now. Gmac said it best "a 4 or 5 star today doesn't mean the same thing as it did 10-15 years ago because all these sites are trying to get subscriptions."

I kid you not Aaaron Murray and T-Bob were discussing why Hugh Freeze was going to win a national title before Alabama was because of the Perry flip.

I mean we clearly wanted Perry and Riddick. Those are misses. But it also doesn't mean that the world is ending. Not the first or last time we've missed on a player.

Like you're saying we'll be more than fine.

And the question is "Are there other players that we can recruit/flip to make up for the perceived 'loss' of these two recruits?"

That's for the recruiting experts to decide, but considering we have the best recruiter in the history of college football, I say we'll be OK.

Yup. Or maybe we go after a transfer or something.
 
I hear you...sometimes the "scoundrels" win...but in the long run they tend to sow the seeds of their downfall. Given his record of "sexual impropriety" I am amazed that AU hired him...time will tell if he's really learned/changed...if he fails @ coaching he will probably relapse...and if he succeeds he is in greater danger of relapse as he will think himself untouchable. Sexual addiction is like any other addiction -- incredibly difficult to over come.
After Cam and the Tubby/Petrino cluster, I’m not the least bit surprised.
Sleaze gonna sleaze - nothing else they can do other than to be who and what they are.
Classy and above-board could never be used to describe the barn’s PTB.
 
Saw that too. We had the first wide receiver Heisman trophy winner in 30 years. If you love auburn just say you love auburn geez. lol
If you love NIL over playing with the best QB prospect in your class and the best program in the nation for the greatest coach of all time? 🤔 Stay tuned to this one.

10 years as a active FBS division 1 coach. 2 seasons with a 1000-yard receiver. Does anyone ever bring up how Hugh went 5-7 in year 5 at ole miss. OR how he went 8-5 and 8-4 his last two seasons at liberty???? I feel like he can be dangerous in a given year, but he hasn't been consistently good anywhere he has been.
Made his career off of a bunch of crazy bounces leading to two victories. Crazy , I know.
