Cant complain about NIL ruining the game then complain about why you don't have 4 million dollar receivers on the roster.

Nope, it isn't sexy but apparently that is what the staff IS DOING. I just heard Josh Pate on a radio broadcast say we're doing exactly what Ohio St is doing and that's using the NIL/Portal to pay the most money to guys on the roster to keep them and adding some additions/depth with the portal. So the lack of "big sexy" transfer acquisitions isn't necessarily what the staff is trying to do...
I would say there is some truth to it. A great RB isn't worth much if the OL is bad or overmatched. A bad RB can have a lot of success with an elite OL.
I don't think some appreciate the money it takes to keep one of the most talented rosters on campus, plus bringing in a top high school class. They have like 14 seniors returning this year... Guys like Jackson and Lawson, Overton, Roberts, or Keenan in the past try to go to the draft and see if they can be late round picks and get paid that way. Instead Bama has to pay them while they hope to improve draft stock in a year.
Few weeks ago the rally cry was how bad the team needs to get defensive linemen to replace what's leaving.... Then Overton stays, Keenan stays etc and now that issue is much quieter. A player saved is a player earned Or payed
Kind of like your monthly household budget. Mortgage, insurance, car payments, utilities, groceries, child care, etc. take the priority. Then you can decide how often/much you spend on the other stuff. The “need” before the “want”.
Also tells you what they think about the talent on the team already.
Pretty smart strategy. The only thing missing from championship level play this season was at 1 position, which is the most important one. Leadership has a role to play but, looking at this roster, what we lost and what is coming in from high school, we shore up that one position with even a game manager type and we are in the hunt in 2025.
Well, IMHO, without a good O line , they all pretty much DO end up equal. Lousy.
We averaged 14 less passing yards a game in the regular season the Ohio State. 240 to 254. We averaged more passing yards per game then Arizona State. Colorado and LSU did out pass us by good amount but that is because Colorado was dead last in college football in rushing yards and LSU was 109th in rushing. LSU and Colorado were also both bottom 10 in rush attempts per game. You’re gonna get more yards passing if you have to throw it almost every down.
Just a feeling about this one...i can always be wrong but he's basically exactly what deboer wants at the position.
Unless he’d want to move to RT, why would he want to come to AL and compete with Proctor?
He most likely has 1 year of eligibility left (did he redshirt?)
I would have to look again but is that what OSU is doing this time around you mean because it seemed like they broke the bank in transfers last year.
Proctor may be better at RT if we can get a better LT.
Ross has transferred to Kansas State
Lockwood has transferred to Boston College (BoB could’ve been his original recruiter)
Not exactly great destinations.

Well Saban said conversations with recruits had reach the point where the major concern wasn’t, carries, targets, scheme, development, etc.. It was “So Coach how much ya’ll gonna pay me?” first and foremost. Then you could talk about all the other minor stuff.
We need a judge to rule that Montana State is the equivalent of a JUCO.
Jason Robinson out of California who went to Washington and former recruit who originally committted to CKD has entered the portal. He redshirted this year as a freshman but with connection to coach might want to come here. He is a pure slot type receiver that has lots of wiggle. He lacks size which the one big issue or he would be a much higher rated guy.
“ Robinson is arguably the best pure route runner in the state. He’s a prototype slot receiver who just knows how to get open. He’s quick off the line, can get in and out of his breaks and plays with a high understanding of how to set up a corner to get easy separation. Catches the ball well and will give you yards after contact. Could also be a threat in the return game on punts and kickoffs at the college level. Highly competitive kid who plays with a bit of a chip on his shoulder and will always give you max effort. Will need to continue to add some good weight and strength to his frame to fill out for the physicality of the college game but has the skill set to be a very good player at the next level.” From his recruitment profile
