re: Class of 2025 Football Recruiting MEGATHREAD - Kaleb Edwards Commits to Alabama

I wouldn’t put an ounce of faith into this clown. If he happened to be right with actual intel then that would mean this solely is about money…if that’s the case then it ain’t over. All it would take is Auburn changing their mind and upping an offer.

I’m not celebrating until he signs. It’s looking good, though.

You would think watching Thorne pass last year would be enough reason to stay away from Auburn.

But I'm in the same boat. Ready to stop hearing about this particular recruit whether he signs or doesn't.

That dude doesn’t know dick

RW either comes to Bama and he claims he has sources and he was right, or he goes to Auburn and he claims he has sources, he knew all along, and he was just trolling to get Bama fans’ hopes up

Dude needs a life

The kid that was MVP of championship game a couple years ago as an 8th grader??

The other has to be the QB. They also had a good linebacker apparently

More likely it’s Anquon Fegans.

He should get Trequan to bring his arse back through the Portal .

Surprised Domani didn't bring Tre'Quon back with him to Tuscaloosa.

Since he hasn’t committed yet I think I can say this without sour grapes, but what are the odds that this kid is a total diva and a flame out?

I’ve thought about this, too.

I think Ryan Williams is exploring his options, and all the AU trolls are making his recruitment seem worse than it is... what has he really done?

1. Committed to Bama
2. Continued to explore his options to ensure he's making the best decision for his future
3. Decommitted when our entire staff changed, yet kept his official visit.

Time will tell, but I personally don't think HE has done much. It's everyone else that is blowing this out of proportion. On a side note: how many VIP articles can BOL release with updates about Ryan Williams the last two days... none of which I can read since I'm not VIP

I was looking into KDB's recruiting classes (according to 247) at Washington and his record.

KDB joined Washington in November 2021 to replace Jimmy Lake.

1) The 2022 recruiting class was mostly assembled by Lake and his staff.
-Washington 247 Composite recruiting ranking was 95th (yikes).
-Transfer ranking (247) was 24th.
-Overall rank (247): 59th.
>Not good, but this was not KDB's class as far as recruiting goes and w/r transfers he did OK.
>I don't know anything about the quality of Washington's roster at that time (after taking over from Lake), but Washington's record in KDB's first season was 11-2. The season before (under Lake and an interim guy after Lake's firing, they had a 4-8 record.

2) The 2023 recruiting class was fully KDB's.
-Washington 247 Composite recruiting ranking was 26th.
-Transfer ranking (247) was 46th.
-Overall rank (247): 29th.
>By Alabama/HCNS's recruiting standards 26th is beyond aweful, but by Washington's standards its not that bad (they've had higher, but not always).
>Washington's record in KDB's 2nd year was a whopping 14-1.

I guess this means that he may not be a great recruiter, but that the dude flat out coach?

And I am certain that Saban told DeBoer that he knows he (KDB) can coach, but also that in order to survive in the SEC elite recruiting is your lifeline. I'm pretty sure that is what Saban's advice to KDB has been and it appears that KDB has looked at that recruiting element when make his choices for his staff.

I still feel that Bama made a great hire. With KDB as HC Bama will not implode in its first year after Saban.

Is today the last possible day to enroll at Bama through drop/add?

If so, no Michigan transfers.
