'24 DC OT Jordan Seaton (Future Portal Entry)

[BigSteve09]

Maybe a little bit of BVS here, but I’m curious what their side says. I want this kid, but it’s been a weird cycle and we’ve swing and missed a few times with this caliber player. Cautiously optimistic

Got it:

Jordan Seaton has announced his plans to commit on December 7. The five-star lineman is coming off an OV to Ohio State. A few schools such as Oregon and UF appear on the outside. Alabama has been in communication as of late Monday night. Ohio State side seems to have some confidence, and Tennessee also believes in top contention.

We're still digging here, but as Tim and I have noted- if it's a massive NIL deal we don't expect the choice as Alabama. That’s may not the case- so we are talking to as many people, on all sides, for a better feel on the decision.

Seaton is in California today. He did not return to IMG after the weekend. So that's why Wolf did not see him on Monday while in Tampa visiting Alabama commitment Joseph Ionata.



And from the OSU site:

From the OSU side, the thought is that a decision on Thursday will likely be in favor of the Scarlet and Gray, Alabama, or Tennessee, but one interesting thing I heard from a source is that they wouldn’t be surprised if Seaton pledged somewhere this week, but signed somewhere else whenever he submits his letter of intent. Seaton has been very impressionable throughout the process, and that combined with the fact that NIL is definitely a factor in this recruitment are what is behind that scenario.
"Alabama is taking a very similar approach to NIL as Ohio State is, and while their package will be competitive, they are not willing to shake up things inside their building by guaranteeing Seaton what other schools might be."


More from Bama site:
-Alabama has been in contact with Seaton's camp today. Has not informed them it's another school.

 

[DaddyChad]

He can't beat Michigan and that's a big problem for them

Should be. Who else do they even play? Day is Mark Richt; hell that’s an insult to Richt.

Bama out ahead in letting themselves down easy here.

I’ve always hated the style in which Bama writers write. Just oozing with self righteous superiority. I’m not sure if that’s because they themselves are idiot fans or just aware that they serve idiot fans.

It's the culture of their program, everything around it, and everyone covering it. Why would you not behave and speak like the entire conference and sport isn't about you? The conference and committee just told us this week that it's the Bama show and we're all players in their adventure.

Go away old man!!

 

[orangejuice]

So Bama and OSU both starting the narrative that if it’s NIL related then it won’t be them because they don’t “over pay”….lmao, I’ve seen that narrative before and it usually follows up with not being picked. Definitely feeling more confident after reading that.

 

[RockyTop140]

Yep. And OSU’s site is pretty much saying if he goes to UT, it will be because we overpaid.

Sounds like we really won't know until Dec 20th no matter what happens on Thursday?

 

[Godfatha]

I wish every recruitment was like this.

Better yet I wish every recruit just announced on NSD where they were signing. No early commits allowed!

It used to be that way. Made signing days more intense and fun.

 

[JRVOL11]

this place would go crazy if he flipped two weeks later lol

 

[BigSteve09]

Sounds like they want their fans to click their site 100 times a day for the 2 weeks after he announces.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Not a single mention of Seaton on today’s VQ pod.

Interesting

 

[LakesiteVol]

Need some older guys/gals to help me out. I’m thinking it was 1993-94 it was called black Monday. We lost like 5-6 big time players all flipping on the tonight before National signing day.
After that I can pretty much take anything and expect anything about recruiting

I don't remember the year or players, but I will never forget like the world collapsed on the Volunteers that day.

 

[peaygolf]

Kiss of death.

We lost him, people.

I just got a wink…..and a “Seaton looks good.”

That’s all

NIL changes things at a nanosecond……

I’m going with superiority. To be fair they are the top of the Bama food chain, they can read and write.

One helluva idea for birthdays and holidays. The punchable Saban doll.

 

[DaddyChad]

Not a single mention of Seaton on today’s VQ pod.

Interesting. We’re not saying anything. Bama and OSU saying if he ends up here it’s simply for cash.

 

[MarcoVol]

A++

Feels like if NIL is the issue then we are good.

Gut tells me the staff knows how big of a deal it is to have top notch blocking for Nico. Could be indigestion though. Idk

 

[MarcoVol]

Yep. And OSU’s site is pretty much saying if he goes to UT, it will be because we overpaid.

Shiiii we might’ve paid more but it’s not overpaying if it hits a massive area of need

 

[Adam Sandler]

Got an old mattress ready to go if he commits and flips

 

[butchna]

Whatever one thinks of AP…he’s all about kid’s moments.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Name of the game. Pay up and get top players. Give to Spyre and let’s win a title.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Should be. Who else do they even play? Day is Mark Richt; hell that’s an insult to Richt.

Ryan Day looks like a cross between Eddie Munster and Butch Jones. Definitely a Fireable offense
