Does anyone one know how it went today?

It went well, tons of guys had fun at Bama today. DeBoer sat down with some of the 2025 top targets and had 1 on 1 meetings. Some of the guys that were on the fence showed up which was nice. All in all a very successful Junior day considering they had only 3 weeks to put it together from scratch.

Coleman the Auburn commit was blown away according to some peeps. He'll be a nice grab from Saraland down there and is currently trending to flip to Bama. Supposedly KJ Lacey also had an interview today but wasn't on campus. Ryan Williams was visiting today in an unofficial capacity probably helping with recruiting and seeing his teammates.

With the infrastructure of the recruiting staff being put into place, as we speak, I'll caution you guys to not get too involved with who is going where: in Feb. of '24 for '25.

One constant that has not, and will not, change is watching who comes to campus. Especially the camps this summer.

I just hope the Eval process on recruits, don’t generate a lot of 5 star misses..

We have missed on a lot of so called 5 stars.. for a lot more reasons than just talent… so I hope we will miss less…

Okay give me an example . I don't like the word of where we've missed a lot...

There is a lot of people that just didn’t have the attitude or work ethic we needed on this team.. they not only couldn’t play to our standards but other teams as well..A lot of those people were used to being handed everything..Maybe 4 and 3 stars would develop better..

Well Agyie Hall, Duron Carter, Eddie Black and Jamil Burroughs for some..a lot just didn’t develop..

Well Agyie Hall, Duron Carter, Eddie Black and Jamil Burroughs for some..a lot just didn’t develop..

Those are not a miss.

Agyie hall: cuckoo.
Duron Carter: immature
Eddie Black: nonexistent player. Never heard of them
Jamil Burrough immature

They all were not a miss. they all didn't want to put in the work for Alabama. They didn't meet the standard. They had all of the tools placed in for them to be successful and they didn't. So it's not a miss by Alabama, it's more of them making dumb decisions.... That cost them a spot at Alabama.

Hall got booted off by Texas
Carter never became successful....
Burrough is now in transfer portal after one semester at Miami...

It's not a miss.

Eddie Williams wasn't a bust. He was talented but made poor decision robbing people.
