Alabama is still recruiting at an elite level. They had the 3rd ranked class in the country last year. Of the top 5 players in their class (all top 100 players nationally), one was from Texas, one was from Pennsylvania, and three were from California. Anyone that wants me to believe that Alabama has half the NIL budget of the teams they’re recruiting against, also, by logical extension, wants me to believe that those dudes from TX, CA, and PA took half the money to go Tuscaloosa, AL of all places. Anyone peddling that crap is out of their damn mind.
