his OV on June 21st is still on as far as we know. hopefully Bama closes the deal after the visit.Looking really good for 5* CB Dijon Lee from Cali. 6' 4" and long and fluid.
It looks like 4* QB Keelon Russell is our top target who is currently committed to SMU. #1 QB per ESPN and top 8 per 247 and On3.

Alabama zeroing in on SMU 4-star QB commit Keelon Russell as top flip target
Duncanville (Texas) four-star quarterback Keelon Russell is as coveted of a quarterback prospect as there is in the country.www.on3.com
I assume he will be a “five star†before all is said and done, being ranked that high in the QB pecking order.
Yes likely our top guy at the moment other than JuJu but if we can't get a visit scheduled there we can't wait on him.
Russell is really good, on par with milroe as an athlete and maybe a more polished passer coming out of high school.
His recruitment has been heating up and it seems like we are his new favorite, may even be a silent commit at this point.
I think we take 2 qbs in this class or we grab a portal guy next winter. My expectation is milroe will be NFL bound and ty Simpson should be ready to take over and we will likely lose either of the two backups to the portal.
I hope that he is!
Not to hijack the thread, but what's your gut feeling on our chances with Juju?![]()
If we can get him for an OV, then we have a real shot. Im not certain we will get that OV. He said he wanted to see what the offense looks like before scheduling us,
Thats said the schools getting visits tell me he is looking for a bigger bag in NIL then we may be willing to pay for him.
If he sets an OV during the season I would put us in his top two. Currently, I think he sticks with USC.
JuJu's high school bag will give you an idea how big his college bag will be.

USC 5-star QB commit Julian Lewis purchases car for father through NIL earnings
Julian Lewis is an NIL pioneer at the high school level, and the five-star quarterback is using the success to give back to his family.www.on3.com
So the collective is paying him while he is still in high school?
Sounds like he has already signed a contract....![]()
I guess we know who ex-commit to Bama 5* WR Jamie Ffrench is going to pick. TBH, glad we are not in consideration. This is the messed up world of NIL we are in.

Bama commit Luke metz has gotten a bump into the top 100. Likley getting similar bumps on most services. Number 3 ILB overall.
We've moved on to potentially better options at wide out. Thats a position I feel pretty good about. We gotta get the guys who like Mercedes.
LOL. The Mercedes plant just down the road from T-town.
He would probably make them a pretty good deal.Well there's that
Im thinking more of the owner of the dealership on 280.
