Alabama is the same thing as CNU now.

The guy was down the depth chart. No loss for the Tide with what they have coming in

Appears to be taking some kind of shot at Oregon & Miami here.

They're ruined. The dynasty has ended.

They landed DJ’s little brother too who’s a 5* EDGE. I believe it was looking USC or Ohio State for the longest time in his recruitment.

So they probably had the more explosive day in terms of surprises. Georgia & Alabama had pretty good hauls today too but I think they landed guys that everybody pretty much expected coming into the day.

247 Sports came up with a crystal ball system which is essentially predictions by the recruiting people within the last five years or so. Then Rivals followed with their own & then ON3 became a new site altogether. ESPN doesn’t have one. I don’t even really know why ESPN still covers recruiting since it’s like a few guys that they employ while these other sites have way more employees.

But anyway this is/was probably the craziest I’d imagine in terms of that. This is was one of the most unpredictable cycles so far in years. These kids were even fooling crystal balls & such a much higher rate than normal.

Miami was the Texas A&M of this year’s recruiting cycle with NIL deals. So that should be interesting to track next year because they were terrible on the field this year.

I'm still hoping Bama flips that CB who committed to them but won't sign until next opening.

This is up there with Butch Jones’ “Champions of Life” quote for me.

Dabo is jumping the shark.

Dabo is making excuses for next year already.

This usually is some Florida crootin’ type of stuff.

Not many Freshman hit the field at the U. I'd wait until year 2 or 3 to see what that effect really is.

honestly f*** dem coaches. They exploited *KIDS* for years. Having 18 year olds or younger making HUMOUNGSLY important life decisions while lying to them about actual opportunity they could expect. "Oh yea, you're going to be our starting x/y/z, we aren't even bringing in anyone else... School then signs higher 'rated' recruit and puts the other kid as a red-shirt for a year... Then signs an even bigger recruit and kid doesn't even got a chance his sophomore year."

Coaches recruiting kids while they literally are stepping outside and talking to their agent about plans to jump ship and go to a new job.

Coaches downplaying their injuries or guilt-tripping players into playing hurt and then that player subsequently hurting themselves and losing sometimes millions as a result.

That's why I got absolutely no problem with these players sitting out bowl games. How many times do you see coaches bail on a team because they want to get to their 'new school' and recruiting and don't coach a bowl game? Hell Brian Kelly last year leaving Notre Dame when they still had a realistic chance to sneak into the 4-team playoff for his oodles of money from LSU.

f*** dem coaches.

It’s honestly gonna get reigned in anyway as we move on. As we move on you’ll probably see less money involved in recruits & more of it allocated to proven players already in college producing on the field for their schools.
