| RECRUIT ⭐️Alabama 2025 Recruiting Class Updates ⭐️: Four-Star DL Vodney Cleveland (2026) has Committed to Alabama

If I'm not mistaken, the rankings you've cited are overall while the recruiting sites have been ranking day to day. Rivals and On3 had at #8. He started off erratically.

Yea, the Elite 11 site is based off overall body of work from the camp. So you're definitely not wrong with that. I just don't like when people are so all over their place with knee-jerk reactions without some body of evidence.




On3 released this one...and I love On3 for the most part but they have some guys especially their national guys are just click-baiters IMO.

I could get into the weeds on their grades/scores from challenges but needless to say this ranking here isn't even close to accurate for the day.


More Accurate Rankings for Day 2:
1) Deuce Knight
2) Juju Lewis
3) KJ Lacey
4) Keelon Russell
5) Husan Longstreet
6) Malik Washington
7) Jaron Sagapouletele
8) Robert McDaniel
9) Luke Nickel
10) Kevin Sperry
11) Ryan Montgomery

That's what I gathered and probably more what the actual scouts/coaches that run this thing saw.

If Zoller's doesn't have a better day I could see Russell taking his 5-star status...

He's not wrong, they are all over the place. The only constant I have seen is the Florida State kid, but everyone else is all over the place with very little consistency when comparing even the day to day rankings from the services.

I pointed that out after day one. That's not what I was saying here.

I believe the Eite 11 rankings are all-encompassing (as in through two days in that tweet) whereas the rankings at Rivals posted covered just day two.

When you are in a QB drill and miss your first eight to ten attempts you're not have a great day.

I'd have to go back and look. I think On3 has three evals guy there, Rivals has two, and 247 has one. That maybe the result of how I follow.

The evaluations are great and based on what they see against what kind of adversary?

True evaluation comes in game time.

The first two day's are skill competitions. Today they'll run 7-7's.

I personally like the 7 on 7, the others one's require less judgement. That's where you find the guys that get picked a ton because they can throw really well but can't make good decisions with the ball under pressure when the defense is moving.

So far the best QB to sling it today. There's still a good bit left to go though.

 

[TerryP]

Exact same numbers as UNC commit, Bryce Baker.

Yep and Technically Hawkins had better Reception per TD ratio but also less throws.

Hawkins (TCU) finished with 6 TD's, 15 of 23, no INT's. I think he has the highest TD numbers today.

One of those incompletions that should've been a caught TD lol

Geez. Barely over 50%.

Zoller's just doesn't impress me, he keeps being mediocre IMO he's going to lose that 5th star soon and likely we'll see Russell move into that spot. I don't know about Lewis but he also hasn't been super impressive. I could see a few risers and falls from this camp.

12:24 p.m. PT: Two more good performances from Alabama commit Keelon Russell (19/25 on target, 5 TDs) and TCU commit Ty Hawkins (15/23, 6 TDs). Russell with one of the cleaner sessions so far. Did a nice job taking what the defense was giving him and taking care of the ball. Didn’t put the ball in jeopardy often and thew with good velocity. — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings

Looks like Russell has had the best day. A couple better completion percentages, but they also took timed sacks where Russell didn't. Not sure it'll be enough to move him to #1, but a heck of a showing by our boy.

Would love to see some 5* wide receivers....
Could be early pt

Just using the rankings from one service about half of their top 10 receivers have Bama on their short list.

They landed some guys that haven't gone public yet.

Russell is a tall dude...
