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

Do they want him or Russell?… Not sure one doesn’t bail…. The locker room may not be big enough for both of their heads…
He's next year 2026 5-star QB. Probably want both if possible for a QB competition possibly later but we shall see how it plays out. Recently said Oregon is his front runner but a long way to go until ESP for 2026 recruits.

For clarification he's 2026
Russell is 2025
 
I see NO DL which is the biggest area of need for next year. Sorry to rain on the parade but that is a glaring gap in the list of recruits. Is there a portal plan to deal for this?
Look at the Juco group.

Also, we're still in the mix for a few DL in this class for right now. I really hope we get Justus Terry but not sure that's going to work after he missed the Georgia game.
 
what's your feeling on transfer portal... Do you think Bama is getting to steal players from other programs...?
I think a lot of that depends on our situation, do our Freshman defensive players step-up to the plate later in the year?


Do we have a plan for RT? Can we get a solid RT option from the portal or is Formby or Pritchett going to actually perform up to standards.

I'd guess portal targets

MLB
D-line
RT and maybe LG

We want mixture of experience and youth that can blend in well on both side of the ball. So I would say we should go after the following position groups:

QB: We likely lose 1-2 quarterback ( after spring) We add at least one
RB: We will definitely see movement there. I think we have development with Young next year. We'll be okay.
WR: I think we need to target transfer portal. We need reliable receivers. outside Williams, that's pretty much it. I don't see Prentice, and others staying. I think we hit portal for that.
OL- I agree. But here's a catch: We've struggled with run game all season long. second string wasn't any better. I think they get two transfers in that group.
DL- They're getting better. I think we're okay there. Can't hurt to get someone who can wreck havocs.
LB- If we can develop our young LBs, I think we're okay.
CB- I think we correct the depth there. Incoming class and transfer portal.

Won't argue the rest but I think

QB - We have what we want here, we're not looking for a transfer IMO. We'd be rocking Ty, Mack, Russell as our rotation. We have 2 more walk-ons that will likely be there for 4th and 5th string. It'll be hard to bring in someone with Ty, Mack, and Russell likely accounting for the next 4-5 years of starting potential, IMO. You'll either have to do it in recruiting or find a transfer who is fine with riding the bench or can compete against the others.

WR - You might be discounting Jalen Hale's return here, we'll have a few next year. Bernard, Law, Williams, Hale, Scott, Cunningham and Brooks. I think considering their recruiting decisions we're NOT looking for a WR transfer at all.

CB - Gonna be tough to get depth here, would love to see some depth at this position also but with mostly freshman starting this year who will be Soph next year I'm worried about WHO we can actually bring in. We don't need to just bring in transfers to fill out the roster. We need quality > quantity. So you're most likely looking for a RS (Fr) that is willing to sit behind our starters and get his time in later years and develop.

Other things though, you're spot on with.
 


Here's one of the DL additions for 2026. He'd been rumored for a bit, wasn't sure if he'd pull the trigger soon or not.

Depending on who you ask for this one he could be either top 50 player or a top 150 just depends on the recruiting sites. They vary wildly on this guys evaluations so far but we have another year for him to rise.
