No, just a little prediction there.
2026 Recruiting
- Thread starter jambama1
- Start date
Threads like this one are why I joined TideFans more years ago than I would like to admit.
We’ve had some incredibly knowledgeable posters share as much of their expertise as they can, yet keep quiet where appropriate (even in the face of pleas for substantiation) in order to preserve their sources.
In many fields, the masses are constitutionally incapable of playing the long game. But people who know what they’re talking about do. And they post here.
Several nervous nellies were decrying the dearth of commitments (I have to confess I was wondering when the anticipated results would materialize), but the truly knowledgeable posters were saying, “Keep calm and carry on. Be patient. All is well….keep the faith”
Lo and behold, they were right. Where are the nervous nellies and talking heads now? Looking at you, Paul Finebaum. Looking at all those who said DeBoer was a bust. Looking at talking heads who said we were dead meat without Saban.
I’m hearing crickets.
On a variety of topics, including but in no way limited to football recruiting, TideFans is blessed with the most knowledgeable and level-headed posters on the interwebs.
Thanks to all our recruiting experts. I would name you, but I’m sure I’d leave someone out. Regardless, we appreciate you.

based on what Ty is showing its likely Mark Sanchez 1st round. he tore up Manning Passing Academy. While I love Jett Kaawa is impressive especially working with Galu ( who has a damn impressive track record btw ) Also, I would expect two again next year with another Galu pupil and someone else.
Our WR recruiting will be done by Thursday ( HINT HINT
) do not sleep on Owen , he's legit. Shep is the best WR coach in football ( hardline is good but born on third base ) Shep turns Purdue and Washington guys into NFL pros. And Shep loves him some Owen and Brian Williams. ( they like them better than messing with Keys or Boobie )Lastly if you came out of a comma and saw the roster you would swear nick saban was still here. thats impressive by this staff. also this staff imo is better than any of Saban's since about 17.

Thursday is open lol he says in the next two weeks.No, just a little prediction there.
Also, I would expect Tank to bama eventually in July. too many relationships and hes got that Gump in him like Crowell , Griffin etc. Make no mistake this staff isn't paying these guys or I should say matching the crazy offers but should show you how much putting on that crimson jersey means to them. KR was turning down more than proven starting QBs in the transfer portal last year to stay with bama.
( one last recruit fits this bill too Nolan because we were first to offer and Freddie Roach is an elite recruiter. Guess we will see Friday )
More you say ?

You guys really do make recruiting exhilarating. It helps that our coaching staff can recruit with the best of them. It definitely helps my offseason withdrawals getting to read inside info constantly! Kudos.
@jambama1 @BirminghamBAMA @sanjosecrimson You guys are the reason why I don't even bother checking this site until late June... Ya'll are the truth.
Let's not forget @TiderJack and @TheRealPokeChop for bringing honest perspective and staying in the loop. You guys are the real reason and I appreciate that.

What does “its likely Mark Sanchez 1st round “ mean?based on what Ty is showing its likely Mark Sanchez 1st round. he tore up Manning Passing Academy.

Mark was with USC for three years. Third year, he got a chance to start as QB for the season for the first time. he was 1 and done and went 1st round 5th overrall pick to New york Jets.
Brian Williams Jr announcing today but could not find a time but it appears to be all Bama. If you have not seen his highlight video you should, can't believe this guy is a 3* and don't expect that to be the case in the next couple of months.
Here is the updated commitment target list. I may have missed somebody.....
- 3-star WR Brian Williams - July 1
- 5-star WR Cederian Morgan - July 2
- 4-star DL Nolan Wilson - July 4
- 5-star S Jireh Edwards - July 5
- 4-star QB Tayden Kaawa - next two weeks
- 4-star LB Nick Abrams II - July 16
agree TJ. his offer list tells a different story. he is coveted by top programs. I truly believe the scouts and evaluations this past season are just downright lazy!
30+ offers. He seems to be criminally under-ranked.
Agreed SJC. When 247 does not even have him on their top 1000 national list and is #799 on the composite and is ranked the #163 WR then somebody has not been paying attention at all. That will change however.
All the recruiting groups (on3, 247, espn, et al.) cannot possibly eyeball the 1000s of recruits. Many players get re-evaluated in the fall. This is when the infamous’Bama bump’ happens.
Here is the OT target that Jam and BB mentioned we are targeting.
4* DL Elijah Golden announcing on 7/26 and we are in his top 4 along with ND, OU and VT. Jam or BB or SJC - have you guys heard any news on him?
Norte Dame is what I am hearing.
At one time, Bama was in good shape for both Golden and Titan Davis.
Happens to kids in states like Indiana a lot. Recruits just dont get as much attention. I feel he will end the cycle as a blue chip type player
