2027 Recruiting: 2027 Recruiting Thread

[CoolBreeze]

I find it incredible how this staff continues to recruit HS players at such a high level. Nick changed the game for us and built the infrastructure for success but man have I been impressed how CKD has embraced the recruiting of such outstanding talent.

Is this related to the Simon kid?

yes

Me too! And it's widely believed CNS' secret sauce was his recruiting/closing skills. As far as game day coaching, that was always more average.

The one area CNS excelled in game day coaching (more than CKD) was in second half adjustments.

But his ability to recruit at such a high level is mind-blowing.

I think he has one giant left to slay - if/when we start seeing that "edge" that CNS' teams had, which meant we were rarely upstaged or outplayed or upset...when CKD and company figure this out, big time success is soon to follow!!!

Looks like we are in good shape with 4* RB Kingston Miles. Video impressive.

'Alabama is at the top of my board' - Tide surging in the recruitment of 4-star RB

Over the weekend, Alabama, as expected, missed out on 4-star RB Tyson Robinson, who committed to Michigan. But all hope is not lost in the 2027 class as Kalen

TE Colt Lumpris decommits from Bama and flipped to Michigan. not surprising since Michigan was pushing very hard for him. He still plans to OV on May 29-31. we shall see.

The Barstool guys $ is hard to beat. We are and will be good to go at TE so not a huge loss IMO.

truth be told, Keegan looks like a better prospect and fits better with DeBoer's offense.
he could wind up being a more athletic Cuevas who I considered one of the best weapons on offense from the last two years.

Not to mention we seem to still be in good shape for Malik Howard, who I like just as much as Lumpris, if not more.

No doubt, that OV will simply be a bu$ine$$ trip to see if we will counter offer...

If it’s canceled you will know that’s the truth.

So says Courtney Morgan.

I would like to see some big time DL , Edge, and Wr prospects landed in this class.

Wiltfong CB'd two RB's to us. Newkirk is a big lean and Phillips is interesting. Just watched his video and he is a flyer. This would be a good combo.

Kalen DeBoer could be closing in on 2 impact running backs in the 2027 class

Increasing the talent level of the RB room has been a major priority for Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama staff. After signing two impactful players in the 2026 cl

You have to include Sales at WR. We are still a major factor. I like that list.

If we miss on Phillips, then we need to pack it in, It's his dream to play at Bama, it won't be about money

Dont think Bama will miss on that one

I wonder if Haven’s uncle will be able to sway his commitment to us? https://tdalabamamag.com/2026/05/20...to-de-commit-from-alabama-over-voting-rights/

The connection that Uncle Luke is making is a huge stretch.

Does he really think that that would make a difference anyways?

If he is so concerned over "Voting Rights", then he should respect the young man's decision and quit making it a political statement.

Enough said because this is heading into Non-Sports Forum.

I think Uncle Luke is making some waves to get some clicks............and distorting the real facts behind everything
