Mario vs DeBoer recruiting

[Bird4um]

How do we see this playing out? Recruiting wise

I would say we obviously lost to Saban as a whole.

Do recruits take a wait and see approach? Meaning Mario wins in the first few years?

Does DeBoer fail on the east coast? No ties?

Does he stay west coast?

Will he be better than Saban?

[htownkidd]

Let’s not.

 

[SayWhat]

Really?

I'll bet on Bama and whoever their head coach is until proven otherwise.

Better than Saban? That's a tall order.

 

[Dghustla]

Better than Saban…gotta be impossible right?

I think they will bag up and get a bunch of kids but only time will tell.

Nick Saban even before he won 4 titles had a lot of juice with the kids. That’s not always something that can be taught and not everyone is as into it as others.

 

[Ispyin]

There’s no way he’s gonna match saban or even come close anytime soon- y’all act like saban didn’t have hs relationships set from being at lsu that he then took next level at alabama.

that said alabama will of course continue to recruit great (top 5-7) but Mario himself will win one or two more direct battles this next year or so IF we don’t **** the bed record wise - because you’re nuts to discount how many wanted to play for SABAN at Alabama not just for Alabama, whatever assistants that recruit great with established relationships may be added.

Facts on the trail would say otherwise

2024 - Head to Head with the Big Boys: Bama Edition

Nick Saban may be one of the most miserable people on the planet earth. However, he may also be one of the best coach/recruiters in CFB history. Although Kirby and UGA are currently the flavor of the day, he's still an assassin on the trail. Hopefully, Mario will help nudge him into retirement...

Mario held his own the last couple of years. I expect results to be about the same.

Now that nick saban is gone, mario Cristobal is the #2 recruiter in the country in all of football behind Kirby smart. We will be in the game for any recruit we want

I expect us to land 1-2 additional difference makers per year without Saban at bama, maybe more

we'll still battle the UGA's, Ohio State's, etc. but this is HUGE and we are a big beneficiary of Saban leaving

 

[Yoyo82]

I'd expect Mario to fare better than he did against Saban. But I'd say that about anybody that ended up at Alabama. It's hard to imagine whoever ends up there being as good as Saban.

 

[filmcane]

Mario should only fare better. Hard to believe DeBoer will recruit better than Satan.

 

[The U is back to work]

DeBoer needs a few killers on his staff. Sheppard and Roach is a good start but his offensive is mostly his guys. Gillespie will always get his guys.

 

[Problem2]

And they hired a guy who isn't known for his recruiting

 

[Suhrthing]

As long as Mario's W/L record keeps improving - even incrementally - I suspect more of the same or better.

Been telling y’all this for a long time now.

They fooled Deboer as well. Their boosters aren’t really wanting to step up either from all I’ve heard. They’re entitled.

My firm (firm contracting me on these engagements) has reviewed and/or consulted 6 SEC collectives and ‘Yea Alabama’ is 6th out of 6 by a wide margin. Weaker than Kentucky’s ‘15 Club’.

It will only take one season (if that) before the money starts flowing

Yup, Saban was holding them back because of his lackluster recruiting.
