Huge. Hoping Smith becomes a difference making DT like Payne, Williams and the Barmore we got in 2020.

Thanks for the article. The thing that stood out to me was this line: " Smith and Russaw aren't the top-ranked players in Alabama's recruiting class. They won't need to be stars right out of the gate — though Gardner and Todd Dowell, who trains them at MadHouse Athletic Training in Montgomery, think they can contribute in their first season."

The article seems to imply that these guys will appreciate not having the pressure of being the crown jewels of a recruiting class. I haven't heard that about 5 star recruits.

Didn't Proctor say something similar?

From a friend who knows them...they play violently...that's what we need, especially upfront.

Agreed. That's what Coach Saban said the team needs more than anything, to get that hatefulness back. I have a feeling we are going to see a lot of violent play come in this class. RTR!

I don't know, but I hope so.
