Tide lands another four-star QB
After landing a commitment from Omaha, NE four-star quarterback Jett Thomalla last month, the Tide has now picked up a commitment from Orem, UT four-star quarterback Tayden Kaawa. The 6-4, 225-pound Kaawa is a rifle-armed gunslinger who passed for 3,280 yards and rushed for over 300 yards as a junior last season. Kaawa accounted for 35 total TDs last season. He chose Alabama over offers from the likes of BYU, Boise, Oregon, and others.
Recruiting: Then there was one
So far, the Tide's "Summer Reign" in the state of Alabama has gone exactly as planned. Kalen DeBoer and staff have marched through the state, landing one top target after another. Now, for the Tide to sweep the state, the only one left is Mobile-St Paul's five-star edge/defensive end Anthony "Tank" Jones.

With the start of camp just over a week away, here are seven newcomers to keep an eye on. Some of the players listed already started to establish themselves in the spring. It will be interesting to see if that carries over into camp.

SEC Media Days: DeBoer says Bama "fell short" of the standard
Kalen DeBoer was asked the question point blank: Did year one of his era live up to the Bama standard? The Tide's second-year coach didn't beat around the bush about Alabama's up and down season

Simpson has tools be more than a game-manager
I wouldn't say that Ty Simson will either boom or bust, because there is that middle ground of being a solid game-manager. But I sense that Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb believe that Ty can be more than that -- that he can actually be highly productive in this offense.

The class of 2023: Perhaps Saban's best ever on paper
When the 2023 class signed, it was considered to be one of Nick Saban's best ever. The class included a whopping nine five-star prospects. According to ESPN, Bama landed 10 of the nation's top 36 prospects. The class was ranked number one overall by 247.
Preseason hype building for Alabama
Ryan Fowler of Tide 100.9 in Tuscaloosa told me last night that he had a guest on earlier this week from Pro Football Focus (PFF) who declared that Alabama and Texas were tied with the most (5) top 50 players. Furthermore, Alabama would probably have 10 of PFF's top 100 (10%). I get that it's all preseason hype -- but those numbers are still pretty amazing.

A look back at Bama's 2022 recruiting class
Alabama's 2022 recruiting class, which would be redshirt juniors or seniors this season, was ranked as high as the number 2 recruiting class in the nation by 247. Out of the 24 players signed in the class, only three remain on Alabama's roster. What happened to the rest?
Familiar name turning heads in the Tide secondary
With the exception of one spot, Alabama's starting secondary is set. The four returning starters -- corners Domani Jackson and Zabien Brown, and safeties Bray Hubbard and Keon Sabb -- are the reason Bama's secondary is expected to rank among the best in college football.
