Has Waddle made his decision yet?

Classless act on his behalf

Why is the disrespect necessart to begin with. Pruitt did supposedly have a close rei

We don't even have 20 guys, that's not like Saban at all. Very interesting stuff. We have some good guys, but damn, can't remember us losing out to so many guys on NSD. Glad to pick up Surtain, but no other real surprises and we lost a few we thought we'd land. So I can understand why we went backwards in the ranking.

Heck, Clemson only has 17 (1 less than us) and is 5 spots ahead of us. And Dabo has been to the NC game the last 3 years with classes as low as 14 starting in 2012. A class like this will give him some Lambos and Ferraris.

The 5* guys is what I don't get. We had a lot in our sights and landed 2, while UGA and Clemson landed 8 and 6, respectively. That's not like Bama.

USC had 8 in 2004.
Bama had 7 in 2017.
Probably 5-10 have had 6 since 2002.

 

[EasyTider]

Do the remaining scholarships we aren't able to give away go to the scout team MVPs?

 

[planomateo]

Funny thing, UGA's 247 points score this year is still less than UA's last year...barely. 323.87 vs 323.31

How's that for some positive spin...

Though I am also disappointed, a championship in the hand is worth two in recruiting. We have five. If all of our opponents dreams come true, they will not duplicate what Bama has done. I am not convinced we won’t win more either.

 

[Bamabww]

I like our chances. Whoever gets the places of those who skipped out on us will be developed by our coaching staff to be champions. Player development is what it's all about.

 

[Rolltide24]

Copeland's mom has on a Bama shirt and UT hat. Florida was obviously her last choice.

Geez. I sure hope we land Langham and Waddle. Taylor Stuart would make today a real success. Not many guys left on the board.

[colbyjacks]

Langham looks headed to Florida as well.
Waddle?
So what is the plan with the unused spots? Were there any people that we have been keeping on the back, back, back burner?

 

[UAgrad93]

We got good quality but missed on our normal quanity. We will have to hit the DL extra hard in the '19 class.

 

[Tidestalker]

The real story would be how many guys wanted to commit, but didn't get the opportunity... Seems like this year's crop of priorities were genuinely waiting until the last day. It's a dangerous game to wait with them... Usually Saban wins most of those battles, not today.

 

[crimsoncorner]

A top 6 class is a great class and filled needs, but brutal finish and far from what Bama staff expected.
