Grubb raves about redshirt sophomore QB
In the bits and pieces I'd seen of quarterback Austin Mack since his transfer from Washington in spring 2024, it was difficult to draw many conclusions. But watching him on A-Day back in April, he made some throws that jumped out to me. As I said post A-Day, if (when) Mack gets the decision-making down pat, he's got some special tools throwing the football. He can flat-out rip it.TI Thursday on Three Man Front

Big recruiting weekend #3 coming up; More notes
The Tide has another big recruiting weekend on tap with one of the top athletes in the country, a touted defensive lineman, a versatile tight end, and one of the nation's top linebackers scheduled to be in town.
Preseason accolades continue to roll in for Alabama
The preseason accolades from Pro Football Focus continue to roll in for the Crimson Tide. Last week, PFF ranked Alabama's offensive line #1 and its defensive line #2 in college football. PFF also listed several Tiders -- including wide receivers Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard, offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor, and defensive linemen LT Overton and Tim Keenan, etc. -- among the top players in the nation at their positions.

Max Chadwick of Pro Football Focus discusses Alabama's talented roster

Bama lands Utu
We told you last night to get ready for this to happen soon. Offensive lineman Sam Utu, as expected, has committed to Alabama.
Four-star OL closing in on decision
Not only is Sam Utu leaning strongly to Alabama, but a source close to the 6-4, 328-pound offensive guard/tackle tells TI that a decision could come "very soon" -- possibly as soon this week.
Second big recruiting weekend coming to a close
As the second big summer weekend of official visits comes to a close early this afternoon, there are a few things I can virtually assure you that all 11 visitors in Tuscaloosa experienced this weekend -- all spent time with players, have great relationships with the coaching staff, took pictures and videos in Alabama uniforms, were blown away with the facilities, sensed the family atmosphere, etc. In short, all had "great" visits and could see themselves playing at Alabama. The big question is: Which ones actually choose Alabama?
Are some "overrating" Alabama?
To be clear, I am not saying that some college football analysts -- the ones suggesting that Bama is preseason top-five caliber -- are overrating this team. I'm simply asking the question: Are some overrating Alabama?
