Saying our best lineman recruit is looking hard at Colorado. They'll get Juju Lewis, so I'm betting that could be a major selling point to Carroll.
No, he's Bama bound not worried about him looking at Colorado, he's just enjoying his recruitment but the turn around by our O-line play is a major selling point. We're in the discussion for Joe Moore this year a complete change from last year's issues.
I'd look at these to close out recruiting
WR - We're looking to close 1 more
Naeshaun Montgomery - 4-star - Liked Bama in Spring, we talked with him a lot but then we had interest from Cunningham and Meadows (Higher on our Boards) and then Cunningham committed which kinda ended the discussions. It's not a big secret he's high on Bama himself but he never made the commitment. He loved his visit the last weekend and could be a target for ESD Flip.
Caleb Cunningham - 5-star (Flipped from us to Ole Miss) - We will continue to pursue, not optimistic at the moment of our chances here but if Ole Miss sputters down the stretch and Bama continues to elevate this may change some.
Portal - May choose this option if Montgomery and Cunningham decide to go elsewhere. We have a great WR room right now and just need to develop our talent.
DL - Looking to add Terry. So far haven't heard anything about adding another piece unless it's Terry here
Justus Terry - 5-star - Going to be a tough get but I know we're working very hard on pulling this kid in for a game. He said he'd come for a visit in November but has not confirmed a date with the staff, team, or coaches at the moment. It is believed it will likely be for the Iron Bowl and not a random visit but honestly tough to tell here if we can get him on campus. IF we get him on campus I think our odds drastically improve but aren't likely in the lead there even with that bump.
S/CB - We're looking to get some flips here
Ivan Taylor - 4-star - ND Commitment - Likely will flip sooner rather than later. There was a lot of smoke last week but he hasn't pulled the trigger yet. Not sure if there is hesitation or if he's having second thoughts. I'm still betting this thing gets done soon.
Maison Dunn - 4-star - Ole Miss commitment - Has been pretty tight lipped on his recruitment but trends/patterns kinda give Bama hope here. He's visited us 3 times in fall and honestly seems like he's more than just interested.
RB - After Rodgers decommitted (Expected) we will likely find an option here. Since AK Dear is in the class likely going to be looking for a back-up role or someone who needs more time to grow into the position.
Jace Clarizo - 3-star Michigan State - Enjoyed the Mercer game and liked all the stuff. Not sure we made enough of an impression to see a flip here but Bama continues to pursue this. Similar to Dalton below, he's got some development to do in college.
Harry Dalton - 3-star USC - Is expected to visit for the Iron Bowl against Auburn will get more of a read on this after the visit but we're a little late in the process. However, he is intrigued by being developed here.
Portal - Always an option here also, there may be some interested parties among P5 schools of recruits from last year that are unhappy.
There's a few more flip targets we're talking to here also but they've kinda shut down this recruiting cycle at the moment and are moving on to 2026 for the most part. ESD is quickly approaching and I believe what we see in our class will stay with our class.
