No team in all of college football recruited better than the University of Alabama during Nick Saban’s 17-year run coaching the Crimson Tide. Every single one of Saban’s 17 recruiting classes at Alabama ranked in the top five of 247Sports’ composite team rankings. Add in the fact that Auburn was often competing for SEC and national championships, and it was rare for top prospects from Alabama to leave their home state.

Since Kalen DeBoer replaced Saban in 2024, however, Alabama has lost its stranglehold on top talent in its backyard. Mystifyingly, all of the top 15 prospects from the state of Alabama in the 2027 class are now committed to schools other than the University of Alabama. Auburn, meanwhile, is coming off five straight seven-loss seasons.

Top 15 Prospects from Alabama in the 2027 Recruiting Class
NIL promises often supersede regional roots in today’s recruiting landscape, and that’s allowed Ohio State – not only with its financial resources, but also its track record of perennially competing for championships and producing early-round NFL draft picks – to have more recruiting success than ever before in states that were historically controlled by SEC powers. There’s no more striking example of that than how quickly Ohio State has created a pipeline of talent from Alabama to Columbus over the last three years.

Just sayin': Alabama isn't doing too well in it's own state.

Yeah to Thump's cry of 'Bagmen'. Cignetti is ticking off his accomplishments, win B10, win a Nati, sign best in Indiana. Gotta give him credit. But back to Sales, cannot blame him at all, and good luck to him. We'll see how well he gets prepared for the NFL there, but should get many more minutes at Indy than tOSU. Depth chart probably worked against tOSU, given the stable of current 5*s, and verbaled 5*'s acoming. And Cignetti always seems to land a polished QB. Really don't know how good their teaching staff/coaches are, so do not have an informed opinion. But must be adequate to the tasks. Good luck, wait until our DBs line up against you, and remember they go daily against tOSU's 5* WRs in practice.

IU had a 1st round pick(same amount of 1st round WRs drafted as OSU) and 4th rounder after winning an NC. Thats A LOT to sell a hometown kid

Bend over,……..I’ll show you….

One of the better matches of the World Cup. I was in favor of eliminating this match at halftime but I don’t know shit!

What a viewing experience when teams don’t feel the pressure.

The good old "let's not ruin anyone's weekend!" approach.

Now why would Harbaugh [allegedly] want to handle everything internally. Was this just the "good ole boy" network in action? Or were Weiss's computer hacking activities somehow providing an advantage to the scUM football program? I wonder if those crafty plaintiffs' attorneys will uncover any information concerning stolen practice footage.

Don't get me wrong – I doubt that any of those attorneys would care about scUM vacating wins or losing their NC*. However, if Weiss's superiors (Harbaugh, Manuel, Ono) knew about his hacking activities and failed to report him, then scUM as an institution would face some serious liability. And the press coverage would be even worse: "They let that monster continue his operation just to win some football games!"

Absolutely unstoppable PL. Thank you for doing it perfectly sir

In case you wondered too:



Google AI: The FIFA World Cup trophy contains roughly 5 kilograms (about 11 pounds) of pure gold.
Here is how the trophy's composition breaks down:

• Total Weight: The entire trophy weighs 6.142 kilograms (13.54 pounds).
• Gold Purity: It is made of 18-karat gold, meaning the precious metal is a mix of 75% pure gold and 25% other strengthening metals (to prevent it from denting when handled).
• Hollow Design: The trophy is hollow. If it were completely solid, it would weigh well over 150 pounds and be too heavy for players to lift.
• Raw Gold Value: Thanks to climbing precious metal markets, the physical gold inside the trophy is intrinsically valued at around $713,000.
• Total Worth: Once you factor in its historical significance, rarity, and the malachite stone at its base, the trophy is estimated by FIFA to have an overall heritage value of about $20 million.

Just sayin': The Stanley Cup is still the best trophy.

Has anyone ever come back from a 4-0 HT deficit? In the world cup that is.

Google AI: The biggest come-from-behind win in World Cup history is shared by two legendary matches where teams rallied from three goals down.

• Austria vs. Switzerland (1954): In the quarter-finals, Switzerland took a 3-0 lead within the first 19 minutes. Austria remarkably leveled the score by the 27th minute and went on to win the highest-scoring match in tournament history 7-5.

• Portugal vs. North Korea (1966): During the quarter-finals, tournament debutant North Korea shocked Portugal by taking a 3-0 lead by the 25th minute. Portugal's Eusébio took over, scoring four goals to lead his team to a 5-3 victory.

Oh shit France showing fight. Wow

I'm not even sure it's happened at the collegiate level....

Well, it's been my experience that laws are made/written, whatever. However, they don't mean much until they are adjudicated in a court of law. Where each and every sentence is sliced and diced. An allegory might be - what's the speed limit? Answer is - whatever the highway patrol enforces. Same with players CBA, and the 'five to play five' rulings.

Interesting Bestbuck. If McDuff 'goes big', having Elsa at the 5, Mobley at the 4, and Kitts at the 3/4, could/would assume that the Buckeyes would control the boards. But with only two quick players at the PG and SG, not certain how McDuff's beloved full court press would be effective. Really don't see him giving up on his calling card. But when tOSU plays the SC's (South Carolina), and UConn's of the world, that kind of look might be more effective than four smaller guards running around.

Exactly. In the tourneys our press hasn't been as effective so we have to win more in the half court game. At least there seems to be options right?
