Rat poison, I know. Something to consider.
I think we are about to go on Saban’s best run ever which is crazy to ponder. The talent brought in the last 2 classes is unreal. I think we signed 17 of the top 77 recruits (should be 18, no way Blackshire isn’t a top 75 recruit) last year, that’s 23.3% of the top 77. It also includes 11 of the top 50 in the country and the #1 player in 6 states including D. Payne in MI and Goodwine in MD. Unreal talent. 7 of the top 17 in FL and 5 of the top 20 in TX on top of cherry picking the home state. Ballou and Rhea have also taken us to the next level. We have 2 former NFL Head Coaches as our D coordinator and OLine coaches and a DC who has shown improvement year to year.
If we win it all this year a 3peat is coming. We don’t lose too much after this year. We lose Neal (once in a decade lineman) and the rest are replaceable plus Bryce with a full year under his belt at QB.
Replaceable Seniors:
Jobe
Mathis
D. Wright
C. Allen
100% Early NFL Departure:
To’oTo’o
Possible Early NFL Departure (all replaceable):
Ekiyor
Battle
Hellams
Metchie
C. Harris
Everyone else returns and has another year of experience. The key in this is the consistency in recruiting and performance in QB play and consistency in the kicking game which have always been the Achilles for Bama. Combine that with pulling players that the state of FL and TX don’t normally let get out = the next level.
I think Saban ends his career with an emphatic bang!
