That sounds like something you’d probably like to watch.
Alabama offensive players have been putting in work.
Many noted that Ryan Williams was not there, but he was nursing a minor injury at the end of camp.
Alabama and Tennessee led the way in spending on recruiting last season.
Tennessee led the SEC in football recruiting spending during Fiscal Year 2024. The Volunteers spent $5.4 million in the category, according to financial reports submitted to the NCAA by the league’s 15 public schools, obtained by AL.com via a series of open records requests.
Alabama came in just below Tennessee. The Crimson Tide spent $5.3 million on football recruiting during FY 2024, a large jump from the previous fiscal year, when UA shelled out $2.9 million in the category.
Replacing Nick Saban at Alabama was always going to be a unique conundrum because it’s completely unfair to expect anyone to replace the greatest college football coach of all time. The coach who came after Saban was going to be measured against him. That’s just how this works. While that dynamic is probably unfair, that doesn’t make DeBoer’s task any easier. He left a place where the external pressure would be relatively nonexistent for the foreseeable future after leading Washington to a national title game appearance in his second season. The Crimson Tide were disappointing last year, but it also made sense that Year 1 was transitional as Saban’s shadow still loomed quite large. That will be the case for a long time, to varying degrees, but now that there has been adequate time to shape the roster into his own vision, it will be interesting to see how Alabama looks in Year 2 under DeBoer
