Deep South --> Texas is a level of softness that is difficult to measure

I did a search for a thread... evidently I didn't go back far enough into the search results.

Apologies

It was on page 3 or 4 of the recruiting forum.

As good as he is, they should work hard to try to see if something happens. But personally I’m not holding my breath on this situation. If he decommits then I’d be more interested

It may not end the same way but this has a Perry Thomas feel to it FWIW.

Perry has said he is working hard to get a big flip in the receiver position.  I'm feeling much better after this past weekend when you hear recruits say that all Auburn needs are more playmakers.  And Freeze is constantly recruiting this one position harder than others.

[bigbird 60,525]

Auburn had a huge deficit in this recruitment after Hasbeen literally ignored him last year. 

Auburn has done a phenomenal job positioning themselves to get back into his recruitment. 

Auburn has a long way to go in the recruitment but they are actively listening and we've made up a lot of ground.

In addition to that, Milroe ain't exactly slinging it all over the field at Bama. That can't hurt

Recruits/commits say stuff like that all the time but more times than not nothing happens when commits try to bring in other guys. It definitely can’t hurt though

Milroe won’t be the QB anymore at Bama by the time Williams gets to college anyway. Williams is only a junior

Milroe is a sophomore. So, he would be  Sr. Williams Freshman yr. If he stays at Bama. The 2 QB behind him ain't no better

Bama will bring multiple QB’s in before Milroe’s senior year. Tbh i highly doubt he stays in Tuscaloosa that long anyway

Possibly,  but I don't see a Young Or Tua on the roster. Not sure they will get a portal QB that good either. I think after this week at A@M, the wolves will be howling again at the QB position at Bama. I think Milroe will struggle big time this wkend

You're right.  But maybe a 5 star trying to sway another 5 star will be a better draw for us.

Milroe isn’t the problem at Bama. 

Tommy Rees is the problem.  We’ll see how long Saban keeps him around.  Hopefully a LOOONNNGG time.

Obviously it remains to be seen if the kid pans out but Bama has the #1 QB in the 2024 class committed in Julian Sayin. At the very least a kid rated that high will be in heavy competition to be QB1 immediately. He alone will attract a lot of attention from 2025 WRs.

Agreed, but I believe this super talented kid they got in the next class is more of a pocket passer type. Even though it looked pretty horrid with Simpson/Buchner, I do imagine Rees has a thing more for pocket passers than dual-threat types, just based on his background.

Just my opinion but I can't imagine these California quarterbacks going to bama with Lincoln Riley mining it at USC. Especially the way the Pac12 is moving. Seems like those days will be gone.

@Randman5000 I'm not sure USC is taking a HS QB in this class. I just looked through the past month on a USC site & there's no 2024 QB chatter.

Also there are many quality QB in Cali every year. USC can't take them all even if they want to.

Plus high end QB prospects were the least of USC’s problems even when they were “down” last decade. Barkley, Browne, Ricky Town, top 53 QB recruits from 09-15. Jesse Scroggins, Sam Darnold, Max Wittek, Cody Kessler and Jalen Greene as 4 star QBs over the stretch. Only one came outside of the state. 
 

you may be able to argue USC was able to gather even more high end QB prospects back then since it was pre-transfer portal

I don’t think Rees was Saban’s first, second, third or even 4th choice for OC.
