HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two) Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation) if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!
Just for reference, the state of Alabama has 1 billionaire, Ohio has 7, Michigan has 11, and Texas has 73. The state of Alabama is surrounded by money in Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee.

List of Transfer Portal Entries
Hopefully this makes it easier for us to see what’s out there.

It’s according to what you mean by “play niceâ€Â. If you mean never criticize, give in to whatever the subordinates want, etc., I agree. But it’s hard to believe that a highly successful HC has employed that approach.
OTOH, if “be nice†means treating subordinates with respect, encouraging them and seeking their best interests within their responsibilities, yet always holding them accountable, always following through instead of cursing them or degrading them or showing them “who is boss“, then I disagree. I’ve been on both sides as a subordinate and superior and I know this approach works and with most it works much better.
OTOH, could be a difference between most Southern kids and most Western/non-Southern.I know Saban recruited a bunch of kids who are not self-motivated (i.e., needed someone to drive them) especially early in his time at Alabama. Maybe too many are of those types are still in the program.

Tops will likely be Cuevas, they may have their eye on someone from the portal.
Speaking of the back from South Alabama, I saw him play in a playoff game his Sr. year. He's a player for sure.
Fluff Bothwell - Football - University of South Alabama Athletics

While this is true, Bama alumni and deep pocket fans live all over the US.
I wonder if Bama has an organized strategy to seek out donations from recent former players who have become mega rich thru the NFL?
This is why, as long as NIL is completely unconstrained, Alabama can’t play the same game as schools with more resources. CFB currently is most like MLB (no salary cap) but with no rookie contracts and with anytime free agency. From a tradition standpoint, Alabama is the New York Yankees; from a money standpoint, the Oakland (Sacramento? Las Vegas?) Athletics. Until NIL gets some better structure and guardrails around it, we’ll have to do something divergent (I.e., not just buying the best players) to compete for talent…
That is definitely true. We’re a national brand, but the same can be said for all the major universities out there. From a state standpoint we have less money flowing around than basically all of our top competition. We also don’t have the luxury of being the only major sports university in the state compared to some others like Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas etc. TN and Georgia aren’t losing money and recruits to Vandy and GT like we do the barn.
Most kids aren't self-motivated, most people aren't. They have to have an external force pushing against them. It's human nature. So if CKD expects to get a roster full of "self-motivated" 4* and 5* athletes he may be unpleasantly surprised. There aren't "roster fulls" out there waiting to be recruited.
I would have liked the post but it would have gotten flagged.
I apologize for that egregious error. I'll sit back and let the experts handle the updates and if I get bored, I'll just bash current players and coaches.
We are bringing in two very talented TE's in the '25 recruiting class also.
Yup. Unless there's some kind of cap imposed we will be second-tier in terms of financial leverage in recruiting.
We simply can't compete with the money bags that many competitors hold.
Heck, the billionaires at UTx and aTm could probably buy the entire state of Alabama if they really wanted to.
And it only takes about 5 years for a program to slip into irrelevance for young players in today's age of immediate gratification and 24/7 exposure to information.
If some rules don't get put down sooner than later, we might see ourselves get spent into oblivion.
