[NoNC4Tubs]

The subs are trying to convince everyone that Bama can't recruit this state. stay tuned subs.......RTR!!!

Now where did I put my depth charges...?

Here is a top 10 Alabama recruits for the '26 class per On3. We are in good shape on most that we have offered. The update on DL Cleveland who was a Bama commit before de-committing is not accurate. He released a top 6 earlier this week and we are not included. Guess our up front money was not what he/family/handlers were looking for .

Long before NIL, Alabama had no problems getting top in state DL to come on board.
How things have change. For the worse.

New commitment from the number 2 IOL.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1892716942286319893

He is not N2 IOL; it is just a 2nd commitment in the class.
He is a low ranked IOL with no stars from 24/7 and rivals. 4* from On3,, but On3 does not show him on its ranking.

Especially Birmingham. Feels like a money grab.

He must have moved to Gainesville, GA for NIL. He played at Sparkman, AL last year in his highlight video. BTW, he had 17 sacks and 29 TFL's last year and is quick and fast.

There is no news on his commitment. I either got the time wrong or he is delaying his announcement.

2:30 central time.

His mom posted the time.

It'll be at Sparkman high school. She'll go live.

It looks to be a post-Alabama-commitment bump. He did not have any stars on 247 prior to Alabama commitment.

Even if that's true, it's still so early that doesn't really mean anything. A lot of these guys are just now getting discovered. He'll be one who is a consenus 4* by signing day. I like this one a lot.

For sure. I also don’t think that star rating matters much specifically for IOL. That is one of the positions where you constantly see 2 & 3 * guys become starters and high-round NFL picks.
