2024 5*+ WR Ryan Williams (Recommitted To Bama)

[fishepa 1,908]

If I was a high profile recruit I'd go to bammer.  I mean look at the NFL, they just about have a starting receiver on every team.  It especially sucks to lose out on a great player that's a legacy, but it is what it is

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I still can't understand Harsin! How can any head coach ignore such talent that's right on his doorstep?

If I had to bet today I’d bet on him going to Alabama but jeez you’re giving CFH almost 2 extra months to work with. Would be foolish to completely rule out Auburn.

Arrogance + having a regional G5 mentality baked into your philosophy. Which is completely insane to have when you coached at the likes of Texas.

Apparently Montgomery, Davis, and Etheridge were at his reclassification ceremony.  I wonder how many bama coaches came?

I think the main reason may be the money if some of the recent situations are any indicator

I wonder if that is confidence or laziness on behalf of bammer?

Or arrogance.

100% this. Beat me to it. Hired by a guy who should have been a mid-level Athletic Department fundraiser because of witty hot tub banter. Smh.

Is this a statement on the number of coaches, or your comprehension level?

@Leftfield A large class action lawsuit was brought in a small Alabama county against multiple defendants.   An old country lawyer was asked whether he hoped he would be asked to represent the plaintiffs or one of the defendants and he replied "boys its just like back in the day when I was playing hardball, the only position I didn't want to play was 'leftout'".

I hope AU spends its time and money on more positive endeavors. Things like insuring we keep our current class together until signed next week and upgrading our other specific areas of need.

I’ve seen this dog and pony show before with maybe at least one Bama recruit every year. It’s not worth the anguish for the minimal amount of return.

Work hard on our good guys. JMO

IMO u have to do ur diligence. U can’t get them if u don’t try. All it takes is getting a few to turn the tide .

This feels like "damned if you do, damned if you don't."  This fanbase has (rightly) railed on the Potato Famine for not even recruiting guys like Ryan Williams, Quinshon Judkins, Perry Thompson, Cam Coleman and others, then when the new staff comes in and fights tooth and nail for the biggest prospects out there no matter who they're committed to (flipping several), we're going to criticize the effort?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
