Reading their comments on BAMA and Mitchell and saying how we have no class and calling Mitchell a liar!
Well I guess the hiring of Freeze shows how much class they have and how true full Freeze and their honest and true full basketball coach is!!!
It never ceases to amaze me how much they are of a mindless cult they are! And how it still continues to be! Anyway!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Desmond Ricks is set to put all the recruiting rumors to bed today. Here’s the rundowns of the final contenders.

Decision Day Primer: Desmond Ricks

Five-Star talent Desmond Ricks will make his college decision today, here’s the rundown of the final contenders

He is rated # 2 in nation. Can also punt. Hopefully an easy transition next year for this guy. Only a 2 star but perhaps more important than some of these guys. RTR

We'll see what happens tomorrow

What a week, what a recruiting class. Desmond Ricks tops things off by committing to Alabama.

So say one of these QB’s just goes off in this bowl game. That gives them a step to be the starter next year. Does the other QB see some writing on the wall and transfer? It’s going to be hard to keep 3 or more QB’s on the roster year after year.

Alabama could be down to nine offensive linemen for the Sugar Bowl, a source close to the program has told Tide Illustrated. In recent days the Crimson Tide has seen starting left guard Javion Cohen as well as backups Amari Kight, Tommy Brockermeyer, Tanner Bowles and Damieon George Jr. enter the NCAA transfer portal.

Here are some nuggets I've picked up recently.

— Emil Ekiyor Jr., Tyler Steen and Darrian Dalcourt are all eligible to return for next season but likely won't. Ekiyor has already accepted an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl.

— Javion Cohen is drawing interest from several other teams and has been approached with six-figure NIL deals. That is likely a big reason why he is opting to head to the transfer portal.

— While Tommy Brockermeyer is in the portal, his twin brother James looks likely to remain at Alabama at the moment.

— Alabama is making a strong push for five-star Iowa commit Kadyn Proctor. Nick Saban and offensive line coach Eric Wolford both visited him over the weekend. Proctor is going to be a hard pull from the home-state Hawkeyes, but he'd have a serious shot at starting right away for Alabama given the state of the Crimson Tide's line.

Alabama currently has five offensive linemen committed in next year's class in Wilkin Formby, Olaus Alinenen, Mile McVay, RyQueze McElderry and Raymond Pulido.

— I fully expect Alabama to pursue offensive linemen in the portal. I don't know specific targets as of yet.

— It's obviously way too early, but this is what I would expect Alabama's depth chart at offensive line to look like heading into next season at the moment.

Svoboda coached ST at Alabama in 2021 before serving as a special assistant this past season.

As recruits sign the Letter of Intent we will keep you updated on when players sign and who signs.

Kicking things off, the Tide received their first letter last night.

Windsor (Conn.), OL Alinen Olaus inks with the Tide.

Anybody got any news on how bowl practice is going? Is the team fired up or just going through the motions?

Boogs seem very confident he will commit to the barn in the morning

First, I am asking a real question here. Second, I’m not a Debbie Downer or pretend to be a know-it-all. So, here’s the question:

Why does it seem like, since Bobby Brown flipped from us to aTm, we haven’t been able to recruit top flight DLinemen? I know, Damon Payne was supposedly #1 in his class. And Jaheim is coming on strong. But we haven’t seen anything like a Quinnen or Jonathan since they were here.

Help me understand this…..

So this week is where money is made in most cases, thankfully a good amount of Alabama’s top targets are already in the fold.

In most cases, like Caleb Downs and Justice Haynes, they’ve cut off contact with all the schools that were recruiting them.

That said this week is always jammed-packed full of action, so we take a look at the current class in terms of who you should keep an eye on late versus players who seem to be trending towards the Tide.

So first things first, Kadyn Proctor surprised many when he visited Alabama this weekend for an unofficial. He’s maintained a strong commitment to Iowa over the course of the year.

However, this late interest from the Tide and the visit are too hard to ignore. Paid that with Raymond Pulido decommitting, it has the looks of another fashionable signing day flip.

Damari Brown is another name to watch. He he has strong connections to the program, based on the merit that Saban loves Florida DBs. Brown has maintained communication with the staff regardless of other schools like Miami and Florida State remaining heavily involved.

Hard to say currently if he try’s to play with his brother. Although, if it’s a decision for him alone. It could spell a Crimson Tide ending for the cover corner.

Staying on the subject of DB, Alabama finds themselves in an interesting position heading into Wednesday as Tony Mitchell just visited A&M with others pushing. If Mitchell were to flip, it would come bright and early Wednesday.

While, Desmond Ricks seems to have enjoyed himself on his visit to LSU over the weekend. However, all sides (Florida/Alabama/LSU) have some confidence but LSU could be a strong position right now.

One note, Denver Harris was on a visit to LSU as well, don’t know if that affects things.

Qua Russaw and James Smith seem to be trending towards the Tide despite the Auburn situation this weekend.

I will be in-person for their announcement this Wednesday, so as they make their decision you will be some of the first to know.

Luke Hasz has played close to the vest. He’s maintained a firm commitment to Arkansas. But it’s the final 48 hours so anything could change with the Tide getting in home last week. He’d be a huge addition in the TE room looks for more versatility & athleticism.

Last but not least, Tyler Scott seems to have an intriguing recruitment especially fresh off a visit to Texas. Seems like it could be Texas or Auburn here but he’s been flipping his decision on a weekly basis.

Wouldn’t hold out hope here with other targets higher on the board. He will now announce at the All-American bowl.

Saban and company have done an exceptional job putting this class despite some obvious negative recruiting and competition from other schools.

Alabama still has the opportunity to add to their current number one class and by the way things are trending, it’s not looking out of the question for the Tide to add even more.

I was told today he is going to remain on staff and coach the bowl game then leave for Colorado.

How many more guys do we add to this class and if so who and what positions will we pursue?

Waiting (Rumor that Saban is practicing with them and will not let them sign until the end of practice)
none

These guys all signed damn good recruiting classes. Along with Saban they made up 4 of the top 5. Of course, we all know what the 3 guys in the title have in common. They learned from the best!
