Isn't it the GM's job to do all of this so DeBoer can coach? A good 9-10 months on the job to set up for a good 12th month. Anyways, may not always need that Alabama talent, but when you do, it's nice to have a track record of success and not letting your arch-rival just take it.

I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you. It was lot going on this past spring. They have been working hard to build relationship since the staff was new. Everyone was new. they were introducing themselves to the school and all. It is not easy to pull in state kids your first year on the job. They were busy keeping the roster intact. I just think everyone should show grace to the coaching staff, and give them kudo for nagivating through their offseason in Jan, SPring camp, transfer portal in April, this past season, and now this.

Secondly I think the instate recruiting has been little overkill reaction for the most part. Saban always said get the best kid on campus.. didnt matter where he came from. But for 2026, you know CKD will work on getting few players.... Not worried at all.

This is great interview: What does the future for Alabama football look like? An exclusive interview with Crimson Tide GM

Morgan: I think our plan, in any year, is to recruit the best players. We were behind with in-state players. We made a point to go after Micah DeBose. Offensive linemen, they’re hard to find. So you get a premium in your backyard, you go get them. A lot of the kids, we were just behind them because (Auburn coach) Hugh Freeze had been there for a while. But we tried. We don’t sit around and look at the map and say, “We need to get X amount of players in California.” What we try and do is to find the best players. And once we find the best guys, we go get them.

I don't disagree with you and everything this staff had to undertake when taking over for the Best To Ever Do It. Please don't take my posts as being upset with any of these guys. I support our staff and attempted to calm concerns when a lot of others were flying off the handle throughout the season. I don't want to downplay the in-state recruiting piece. Alabama is blessed to be surrounded by talent with Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and this staff will need to learn to manage those states more than any others. That's where those beast offensive and defensive linemen come from, and that's something we missed in spurts this season. I only posted that graphic because someone else had brought it up a week or so before, and I saw the graphic and just posted. I'm more concerned about our lack of reach in Georgia than Alabama, BUT Alabama is quickly climbing the ranks recruiting wise as far as high school talent, so it shouldn't go overlooked.

Oh no, I never get upset unless I see a fine ass woman walking by knowing I missed my chance.....

And while I'm on the topic of ILB's, wanted to go over how we sit in next year's room. Likely have Lawson back, so that's a clear cut starter. But who's gonna get that spot next to him? It's gonna be fun to watch it unfold during the spring, we've got a ton of talent sitting there that could get that spot. Jeremiah Alexander is a guy I think could push for that starting spot, he's looked pretty good when he's been able to see the field. Another is Justin okoronkwo, guy is a thumper like Hill-Green.... just a bit more raw at the position, but he'll be a good one. Then there's cayden Jones, Sterling Dixon, and Qb Reese in there as well. Maybe one of the freshman coming in? I've talked about him before, but I'm super high on Luke Metz as a player..... kid is gonna be a stud.

Ultimately, I think the starters will be Lawson & Hill-Green, and Alexander & okoronkwo as the reserves to start the season, but we'll see. Dont count out Alexander for that starting spot, he has a good spring, it could be his.

And one last thing since it just crossed my mind, since Justin Jefferson came from junior college, would it be possible for him to try and get another year with us after the pavia court ruling? Thanks in advance.

See this:

I understand is if the Vandy QB is getting and extra seasonal because he played in Jr college, so will he too. Because he to played in two seasonal.

From what I've seen, it's looking like he'll get that extra year if he wants it. Which is good for both parties involved, he gets another year to improve his draft stock, and we get a productive and experience player back for another year.

[24and7]

It is only fair… kind of a trade for Saab… a better player..

 

[Bammerboy321]

That's not a bad move honestly

 

[bama alum]

I'm glad he'll be out of the SEC.

 

[Scrape&Search1032]

Had someone tell me that Peter wood's could be entering the portal, asked where he saw this, showed me the article, then I immediately had to extinguish some of his excitement when I saw who was reporting on it.... they usually do stuff like this for content. But if they turn out to be right on this instance, I will instantly become their biggest fan.

If you guys didn't already know this, Peter's mom lives in Tuscaloosa. It's my understanding there are a few times of the year families get together. I can't confirm or deny.

There are a few I consider to be fairly plugged in who are saying they smell smoke.

I remember how bummed I was not landing this guy in that class, him and Collins. Getting Collins back was nice, but being able to get wood's back to Alabama would be even better in my opinion.

 

[Rolltide24]

We heard rumors he was entering at the end of last season as well, but Dabo did something to hold on to him. I hope he makes the move this time, he would be a tremendous addition.

 

[TerryP]

Then: A kid leaves his home state and gets paid to attend a school...
Now: If it's Bama, it's okay.

 

[24and7]

Woods would be a nice get… but I think he would be a fool to leave Clemson… He has it made..

 

[24and7]

He really needs to find a school that needs a running back badly…And one with better weather..He would not be a guaranteed starter at Meeshigan..

 

[Justneedme81]

No he wouldn't be fool to leave if his heart is where he wants to be at. It's not always about money.
