Still a need for Alabama

Bandit
MLB
WR

I'm hoping Nico Brown is our slot guy for 2026 so that would fill that position. He just left washington after his visit on the way to bama

Terrance Green could be our bandit he's on a visit right now and he'll be a focal point to lock down is my guess.

MLB is interesting still, quite a few possible options I'm guessing TJ Dottery or Haha's brother are the current leaders in the clubhouse but once again it's hard to know WHO we could be targeting on Miami/Indiana's rosters as well. I'm interested to see the next week play out. We'll likely see some finishing up in the portal in the next 7-10 days and moving to staff changes.

 

[Rolltide24]

He didn't have a good freshman season at all, but asking a freshman to start on the line in the SEC is a massive ask. He's got potential. And he's at least got over 200 snaps in under his belt... that's better than 20. He played mostly guard this past season so some positon flexibility too.

This kid is a mountain. Holy smokes.

I kinda hope we don’t make any staff changes just so I can see the dumpster fire that is our fanbase at times lose their shit

It isn't unreasonable to ask for staff changes. Particularly with the special teams.

It isn't unreasonable to ask for staff changes. Particularly with the special teams.

It's not about that. It's more of fans screaming for staff change almost everyday, not using their common sense to realize that it's bad idea to change staff in middle of the portal period. Lot of people do not get that part. It's like telling s 3 years old that a square does not fit into circle but yet he keeps trying thinking it'll fit somehow somewhat.
