'22 TN WR Isaiah Horton (Miami Transfer)

Alabama's roster is regressing, y'all. They are losing starters to the portal. Devonta Smith was a starter. They are losing important depth pieces too and they aren't replacing the talent in the portal. If your roster stays young, because you keep losing experienced players to the portal, you're going to struggle continually. All fans are like, "Play the young guys!" until the moment all you have are the young guys to play and they make mistakes that most young players make. Who is going to be their QB next year? Ty Simpson who couldn't beat out the glorified RB they put behind center this season? I'm just glad we are in the situation we are in where we can afford to keep most of our important players.

Oh I understand, and I responded. They are replacing it. With another great class.

The problem they have is they lose so many guys who were 4-5 star recruits to the portal every year that their classes may be ranked highly when they sign, but their production over 4-5 years at Alabama doesn’t end up matching that ranking because so many of the highly ranked kids leave.

Maybe this #2 ranked 2025 class stays intact. But their recent history suggests that it won’t. They can sign em. They just don’t keep em.

Won’t matter. Difference between a lot of classes is one recruit. When you’re hemorrhaging talent in the portal you cannot sustain a program. DeBoer I think still is a good coach but he isn’t Saban and I don’t think he’s a fit for Bama.

So we’re going to force an outside WR into the slot, then bench our natural slot, Squirrel?

That’s not going to happen. Horton would be the first WR off the bench. On the outside.

I'm not as big on Squirrel as some. He can't stay on his feet when he catches the ball, I didn't see the final numbers, but with 2 weeks left he was tied in the SEC with the most WR drops.

Not anymore. Not with their AD coming out and begging for fans to give NIL money. They don't have a big time booster like we do, nor that Oregon, Texas,Texas A'M etc have. They rely more on fans and most fans aren't having it. Listening to them on sports talk here in Bham is hilarious. Never seen a more entitled group in my life

I will never laugh at another fan base. Alabama fans have always been the prototype fan base and always met with open arms. Such a classy group of individuals.

Really, the classiest group of fans.

Reaally really great. Never been such a great group of people. Love them, so much. great people, really so kind. Alabama is great...

You’re not going to believe me when I tell you this, but as I typed the post to which you are responding, I actually thought of that scene from Seinfeld. I can’t believe that was actually your response. 😂

That’s one of my favorite lines from that show. I’ve referenced it many times as being like certain moments in my life.

I’ve been saying this the last couple years. Bama has had a large # of 5* guys bust in the last 3-4 years. Some of their “5*” aren’t really 5*.
