2025 Recruiting: 2025 Recruiting Targets, II

  • 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!

Now official. Didn't have to get a second back in this class but this recruitment feels a lot like jacobs and Ingram. 3 star guys who are leaving their "home" school for Bama. Have doesn't have much tape out, he hasn't released his highlights, so you'd have to watch his entire games to get a feel for him. Im told he is impressive by folks whove gone out of the way to watch it.


 
I realize they need a 2nd running back but they need stud d-linemen and stud wideouts way worse than a 3 star running back. And they absolutely need to hang on to Haywood and Carroll.
Jace Clarizio - East Lansing - 2023 Junior Season Highlights - 247Sports
this kid is vastly underrated. he hits the hole quickly, accelerates without wasted effort, has good vision and lateral movement. I agree we could use more DL. I posted a while back that I believe we are fine in our WR room. Carrol will stick and hopefully Haywood as well. they are both elite OL.

I don't think people realize how good Lotzeir Brooks is going to be. People see the 3* and don't get too excited, but that guy's gonna be a stud.

100% on Lotzier. I mentioned before Rico Scott who scored his first TD vs Mercer along with Jefferson are going to shine once they developed. Hale will be coming back from injury and showed potential his freshmen year. Jaren Hamilton is a sophomore, and he too has been under the radar.
 
Assuming that we will sign our current class, Offense has a chance to be pretty good next year. Defense not so much, especially front 7. We will probably need to sign some stud DL / LB from the portal.

Of course we do. Every team in America needs them but stud OL/WR don't grow on trees. The staff obviously knows we have a need at RB (meaning some are moving on).

Here's a question for those in the know? The scuttlebutt is Haywood and Carroll are jumping ship and could be a few more doing the same? Anyone know different?

I saw an article from a Rivals recruiting expert. He thinks Haywood may flip but not sure and he said noise about Carrol is noise and we will see in a few days.

I read an article this morning saying that Nebraska may be expecting over 40 players to enter the transfer portal this December.
It is going to be a wild portal window this year! (And for years to come)
Every team will be impacted.

Just watched his junior year highlight video SJC posted and I agree with you Poke about recruitment being similar to Jacobs. In fact, I think his running style looks a lot like Josh's. Good addition to this class.

On seperate note, I saw a Rivals recruiting expert who said there was rumors 5* Dijon Lee was wavering on his commitment but said Dijon squashed those rumors.

Yep, read that also and it basically said with the new 105 scholarships this will most likely happen across the board. Crazy!!!!

There have honestly been rumors about every commited player, basically all have been squashed.

Haywood is the only lingering question mark right now and even that has been incredibly quiet and would be simply due to nil.

One reason is this is the time every school is making a last minute NIL appeal to flip guys.

Rumors around Lee and McDonald all came from some good on Twitter saying they couldn't let two top CB's leave California. Long story short, both plan to leave California.

Here is an article about the possible flip of Meadows from Bama Hammer. The article ends where both LSU and Bama are trying to get him on campus this weekend and will be a good indicator of who he will sign with.
