BREAKING 2026 4 * DL Vodney Cleveland Commits to BAMA

[Rockettman]

I say we all just save ourselves the anxiety about it and wait until the 2026 class is signed to follow any of it. I clearly won't be able to do that though. A new and awful NIL world.

I agree. But now even when they are signed you can't relax, because you constantly have to re-recruit the ones that are signed and on the roster. It never ends now

Will say he's the real deal. He exploded this season, I actually thought he was a senior. Big part in Parker having their championship run.

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Keep recruiting him hard

And it will continue this way ad nauseum unless/until some sort of sanity is established. I would bet the farm, however, that ANYTHING that even hints at even remotely impacting 1. The amount of money that a player can be paid and/or 2. Unfettered ability to transfer will be strenuously challenged in court.

It will take at a minimum, federal legislation. Even that would be challenged about a nanosecond after the President signed. And it presupposes that Congress passes a law, which they’ve so far shown no interest in doing.

Failing that, a CBA.

Failing that, the current chaos wherein there are no rules and nobody in charge of anything.

Sorry , drawing a blank on “ CBA “(?).

Collective Bargaining Agreement

 

[Tideflyer]

Collective Bargaining Agreement

Thanks B1G.

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Collective Bargaining Agreement

With ironclad penalties for violation of those agreements

 

[B1GTide]

With ironclad penalties for violation of those agreements

The players would have to sign contracts and be bound.

 

[UAH]

At this point, should we even follow recruiting at any longer.

I don't follow at all. In this current state of affairs there is no certainty that it will last through the following morning.

Lot less of a point in doing so as there was. Used to enjoy it, it was like a “ second season “. Now…….

The problem, there are those that like this. They say it redistributes the talent and gives us seasons like 2024. Never mind the insanity. Never mind what it’s doing to the student athletes that don’t get out of the portal. Or fans that have to pay for it all. Free market at its best, or so they say.

 

[bamaga]

I just hope he pans out. We've missed on a lot of DL with regard to what they developed into. We're not the only ones, great DL'men aren't falling off of trees like the leaves in fall. But it would be nice to hit one and they become that disruptive force that we got used to in some of our championship years.

I’ve heard it said before, Freddie Roach has to go. It’s not that simple , though. More goes into it than just one position coach.

 

[bamaga]

This is an in state player. Auburn must not have heard of him yet, I've been told they will get all the in state players from now on.

Auburn waits until we stop recruiting players in those positions and then yeller feller writes the big check. Or so they hope.
