Recruiting has become an auction and our coaches are the appraisers lol 😂

[@joecrooms516]

Glad to see that we're recruiting Florida this year.

[@LockedOnBama]

Always good to see the state of Florida on the recruiting trail!

[@BakkwoodRed]

Luke: *starts FanDuel promo* "If you like betting on your own kid...nah just kidding" 😂😂😂😂 that was gold

[@hackermusic3355]

I don't know if it's who Luke was talking about but Aaron Hayden was from Detroit and played RB for Tennessee.

[@LockedOnBama]

That's him!!!!

[@wadeburns8913]

Derrick Henry was similar to this Wilkes kid rumbling through every Florida high school record. Everyone recruited him to play linebacker except Saban. Have yall heard if the kid wants a shot at rb? Or has he given in to play linebacker at the college level?

[@DanStephens-f7f]

They watch the Show!!

[@darnellrtr252]

As fans we can no longer become emotionally invested in recruiting. A lot of the excitement is gone. Recruiting seems fake because at the end of the day it’s about money.

[@stevenbuchanan9212]

Wilkes is my younger cousin. He is a great kid with great parents.

[@adamwatson7888]

Agreed. Steven I played with your cousin Paul in high school in Wadley. Yes they are good people and that kid is a great kid. Super happy for the kid and for Paul

[@LockedOnBama]

wellllll... get him on board!!!!!

[@ritchieprince7926]

does Bama have a shot?

[@stevenbuchanan9212]

@ritchieprince7926 The last time I spoke to his father was before the Bama offer, so I am not sure.

[@haroldknapp7360]

Speaking of people saying roll tide, I was in Cody Wyoming in June of last year and I was leaving their first rodeo of the year and someone from behind me said war eagle, I turned around and he said I’m just messing with you I seen your Alabama hat and I couldn’t resist.even in Wyoming we have hater’s. He also mentioned that we have stolen us a good coach,which I told him no we paid good money for him.

[@r0llntider]

We are due for a market correction

[@jackharrington697]

Texas had a weak schedule in the SEC in 2024 and again in 2025. We'll see what they're made of when the going gets tough Rolltide. Also happy to hear we recruiting in Florida again

[@BetRat12]

to add him at Bama let him pick where he likes best or both sides and after a year then everyone will know where he’s best for the next level

[@taytayc7722]

Roll tide 🐘

[@bamafan-me7jt]

Was the running back John Kelly Jr.?

[@AV1611radio]

It was still bought (Ohio States Natty). Yes, they retained players they recruited, but what did it cost them to retain them? And this is something we know Alabama won't do as of yet. We have allowed good players to leave because we won't match what another team is offering.

[@jamesniday9236]

When you hear that ohio's "payroll" was only 20 million dollars...lol... Ask yourself these questions and find out the answers. I know the answers..... *How much did ohio have to pay Downs and his daddy just to transfer to ohio?..Not including NIL deals... *How much did ohio have to pay for their other transfers Howard,Judkins,Kacmarek,Sayin,+McLaughlin JUST to leave schools? *How much did ohio pay to keep draft eligible guys in school(Sawyer,Tuimolau,Williams,Hamilton,Simon,DJackson,Simmons,Egbuka, Henderson,and 4 other starting DB's besides downs?.....Hint: Way more combined than they would have made combined in their 1st year rookie contracts in the NFL *How much did ohio pay Jeremiah Smith,Eddrick Houston,and Air Noland to come to ohio? And this is just 22 guys...Excluding ALL the different NIL that they received..These 22 guys? North of 30 million dollars.....Way NORTH.....

[@hackermusic3355]

Playing at a small school doesn't mean you can't play with the best. It only means you haven't proven it yet.

[@michaelladjevic2172]

Texas had a weak schedule in the SEC in 2024 and again in 2025. We'll see what they're made of when the going gets tough. If the refs would have called an obvious targeting call, ASU beats them.

[@Taurus-k2x]

GET OVER GETTING BAMA GUYS. THATS DEI Take the Best in Country

[@wadeburns8913]

I don't understand people hate listening. I like learning what's going on at Alabama. Especially since i live a thousand miles away and I hate the teams here.i would never listen to what these teams are doing. I might look at their recruiting classes for comparison but i can't see wasting that much time out of hate. SMH

[@bamabob99]

RTR❤

[@jcmoney23]

Of course natie says sears had his best practice of the yr lmao. Of course he did natie

[@darrenconn3847]

2025 Alabama recruiting is 100% about win/loss’s. With Saban it was about development but this coach doesn’t have the history or cachet. If he wins the recruits will come; 2 losses or more it becomes a total mess!

[@scottsingleton8837]

If Jalen Milroe goes in the first 3 rounds then that team is wasting an opportunity to strengthen their roster on a QB that needs multiple years of development to POSSIBLY be a good not great QB. He's had 4 years to learn to read defenses and has regressed NOT improved. I've lost all confidence in his mental game. No doubt he had every other tool needed to be great.

[@Taurus-k2x]

Oh he’s going 1st RD

[@gilbertgodfrey7765]

Best one a high school is Sweetwater Alabama you guys don’t seem to know anything about what you’re talking about
