| RECRUIT ⭐️Alabama's 2024 Signing Day Class Update Thread⭐️

['65 Cobra]

I think at the very least, when there is a new coach coming in, there should be a moratorium on transfers AND ALL CONTACT from other potential teams for at least 72 hours so the new coach has at least a solid chance to talk to every player in detail.

After this debacle, recruiting needs to returned to February or March..

Not sure if it shows up I think he tagged Ryan Williams in it, obviously coaches are getting the players to help with recruiting well the tweet isn't showing up. It was Jaylen Mbakwe tweeting at Ryan Williams. Maybe he was trying to hit him in the DMs

EDIT: Ended up having to screenshot it. For some reason twitter wouldn't let me link the tweet from his twitter feed. Don't know why.

5-star WR in 2025 class will be attending Alabama camp, tagged Courtney Morgan in the tweet, so it looks like Morgan is already bringing in some guys on his radar.

Think the same thing about coaches that leave too? If they leave before the contract is up they have to pay back all money paid

isn't that what the "buy out" clause if for? I mean, you negotiate terms for both sides... if the coach leaves there is typically a cost involved same as if a coach if let go...

He should be required to pay a licensing fee to the University for using its Name, Imagine, and Likeness like any other retailer out there now that he has left. Those contracts with players outta be contengient on their enrollment with said university and if you leave you gotta pay back the licensing fee. They are supposed to already document the sales and deals with the university, so attaching a value to it should be pretty easy.

The university invests in these guys much more than they are getting out in a lot of cases. You only need to look at the P&L of most athletic departments to understand that. Someone has to step in and regulate this crap because there is no way all of the paperwork is being properly processed. Next thing we'll have are Rhodes scholars wanting NIL for their advancement with their studies and such that universities trademark.

I also think that since they are making that big money that they should have to pay tuition and leave the scholarship for someone who needs it.

Let's be honest. If we ever tried to claw back scholarship costs in the NIL era, it would be a debacle. The University does not need to be penny wise and pound foolish over scholarship money.

Who’s that?

Who’s that?

Five star quarterback that was leaning to Alabama before Saban retired. Now they have him predicted to Tennessee.

I live in TN and went to Brentwood High and had a ton of friends who went to Brentwood Academy. Gone to see a few of his games, talked to people including his parents. He was high on Bama early on but he was not a big fan of the Rees offensive plan. Though they loved Saban and felt like it was worth it because Saban would be there. He started trending more towards UT though because we didn't have the passing offense and then Saban retiring really swung him big time. DeBoer is intriguing to him, because of the offensive scheming but not sure if he's going to wait and see since he wanted to commit end of this month or early next.

And paying back your scholly if necessary

1000% agree with this. If they graduate, medically retire, or leave for the professional ranks early, sure. Transferring schools, cut a check.

If a player participates a year, and decides to transfer, you are suggesting he should give that money back? Pay his scholarship back?

Is this what I'm reading?

If a player makes millions in NIL absolutely..if they come in with big money make them walk ons… scholarships should only be for people that can’t afford school.. and do the right thing

There are merit and need scholarships. The optics of clawing back attendance costs for a prior semester are poor. What would be your NIL cutoff to go after a kid's money?

You are penalizing someone for fulfilling their obligation.

Take Bond for example. He's getting 750K to sign. He did. He'll play next year. If he leaves Texas and goes to Ohio State, didn't he fulfill his obligation to Texas?

No more schollys over 1 year.. if these guys become millionaires, they must pay their way -and walk on... no more free rides for these guys.. they have money and can be fed grapes .. take care of the players that are on a full ride.. i’m surprised the campus Commies aren’t rioting, demanding they pay their fair share..

The money needs to be redirected in the right places.. not helping kids making big money..
