| RECRUIT ⭐️Alabama 2025 Recruiting Class Updates ⭐️: Four-Star Safety Ivan Taylor has Flipped his Commitment from Michigan to Alabama

Useless pessimism at this point.
Yea @24and7 we’ve already discussed in previous weeks how useless it is to worry about something happening to our program, such as decommitments or transfers, which is just as likely, if not likelier, to happen at other programs. The simple fact is at this juncture, we have a top 2 or 3 class. That’s better than what any other program can say right now, except maybe the one or two programs above us. And even then I wouldn’t trade our staff or athletic department for any other in the nation. Things could easily be so much worse, such as having a ‘25 class rating as low as the defending national champions.
 
Here's the list on3 posted and updated today. We've got quite a large list of visitors this weekend. I wouldn't be surprised to see a commitment form a 2026 guy and a 2025 guy this weekend. Hoping Dear commits soon. The underclassmen are pretty big names, being able to garner some support from them is big this weekend.

Anquon Fegans, Top 100 S from Thompson HS in Alabaster

Im sure you guys have seen it, but the annual Big cat freakout is happening today. Lots of Barners bowing out their chests already. Never seen a fan base celebrate a recruiting ranking that's two years away from being finished. Did the same with this class, in the top 5, and are now struggling to crack the top 10.
I'll give that staff one thing, their ability to sell kids on a bad product is commendable. Once they have another bad year this season, it's gonna be harder to sell kids on the "future" of the program. And God I can't not wait for it.
 
I will say this IMO smart of Auburn to put their thing just before ours. The hype train is big in those environments and FOMO then they try to get them to not visit Bama the next day. I think Bama should’ve put theirs on Saturday as well but that’s just me. Allows for a lot of momentum in recruiting and early publicity.
