2027 Recruiting: 2027 Recruiting Thread

[BamaMoon]

Great news about Simmons. It's always good to take a likely playmaker away from a rival... especially the boogs!

I think I know the answer, but why he committed to such an unknown situation down there in Lee County is baffling. Bama's a bastion of stability, despite the big change from CNS to CKD, compared to little brother!

But I know, money talks a sweet story!

 

[TiderJack]

There you go injecting logic and experience into what should be a discussion solely around emotion and stars. It's time to panic.....don't you know the sky is falling?!?!?!?

Fire DeBoer!

Fire Byrne!

Burn the Athletic Department to the ground and start over!

Well done 4Q!

 

[TiderJack]

He was a locked until he wasn't. I would gladly take him back. he's a play maker!

Wiltfong has predicted flip back to us which is a very good sign of things to come.

Simmons flips to Bama.

IN-STATE FLIP: Selma (Ala.) WR Cedrick Simmons flips commitment from Auburn to Alabama

The change of heart comes after the original commitment to the Tigers on June 23 following official visits to both programs in June.

I'm sure Barners will say they didn't want him (they did badly)

They are already saying it

Here is Simmons junior year highlights. He is quick, fast and has great ball skills also. He will end up a highly rated 4* before the end of the process.

We added JUCO OLB Bubba Odom over the weekend. Read somewhere else he is a walk-on but not sure. Appears to be a depth piece.

Yeah, I heard he was just a scout team guy. I think he intially signed with Northern Arizona (FCS) out of high school, and only had something like 15 tackles and 1.5 sacks last year at the JUCO, so that's gotta be the case

Are there still walk-ons at Alabama under the new 105 scholarship and roster limit?

Allus Mayo, the #1 JUCO player in the class of 2027 is announcing his commitment on Sunday. He will be deciding between Alabama and Cal. I think Cal has made him a higher priority, so this one could go either way, but I think he has serious interest in Alabama. I really hope we can land him, just so we can have the mustard and mayo combo.

Heard today that Lupoi is strong with this one

 

[Cruiser]

Hold the Mayo

 

[sanjosecrimson]

Heard today that Lupoi is strong with this one

he committed to Cal. $$$ matters more to these kids than playing in the SEC which he mentioned as his dream conference. he was more of a luxury. Bama is loaded in the secondary so no sweat on this one.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Nailed it, went to Cal.

Secondary is a strength and the road to playing time might have been a deterrent

 

[CrimsonTitles]

I'm hearing it may not be over with Mayo. There might be some academic stuff that causes some issues getting into Cal, so we'll just have to see what happens.

You don't hear much about academic issues anymore?

There are still college presidents, especially at a school like Cal, that do not just let anybody in. I can guarantee you just about every college player's parents want their son to get a degree so many are going to class and trying their best to get their degrees no matter what some of the talking heads say.
