Here are some potential flip candidates from Touchdown Alabama.

5 2027 recruits Alabama football could flip in the future

Alabama football’s 2027 recruiting class is trending to be small, and as a result, the Crimson Tide will likely not be among the top classes in the country in terms of rankings. The Tide was able to pick up commitments from several prospects after hosting them for official visits this summer...

Basically, there's $$$ available but there's a plan for how they think they'll spend it at a later time. But that doesn't involve getting in a bidding war against Maryland for a receiver who might take 2 or 3 years to see the field

this is the correct answer.

Maybe it's just me but I like the tape for Rutledge as much or more than Caldwell and he's in 5A producing incredible numbers last year. It is sad though that we can't outbid Maryland. Maybe we just don't want him bad enough.

No, it's not just you. I have read online some fans agreed with you on Rutledge. again, we have touched on this before, DeBoer and staff are perhaps the best in the business at evaluating 3-star talent.

It’s obvious reality. Bama lost two three guys recently they wanted: the kid from Mississippi, the kid from Tennessee, and this last receiver. What is so difficult to understand that if Alabama wanted to keep those guys they would’ve just matched/beaten the NIL offer? In all three instances Alabama had the commitment/ was predicted to secure the recruit, but a an improved NIL offer stole the player away.

If Alabama had all this NIL money yall swear they do, why would they let a recruit get away?

I believe what you're seeing now is all part of "price discovery". Alabama and maybe some other schools are pushing back. If the price doesn't make sense, we're not buying.

America needs to do more of this.
