Recruiting

Osborne's final decision came down to Texas, Clemson and Tennessee but he chose Alabama citing Saban's greatness.

To merely suggest that Saban is out of touch with today's player is not only ludicrous, but shows a deep lack of understanding for the recruiting process that Saban has put in place and followed to perfection throughout the course of time.

Lonergan chose the Tide over South Carolina and Stanford. Offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien and safeties coach Charles Kelly served as his primary recruiters on the football side.

Benson, a 6-foot-1 wide receiver out of Hutchinson Community College is deciding between Alabama, Oregon, Georgia, LSU and Tennessee.

Former Alabama offensive lineman Dayne Shor announced his transfer destination this week.

Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork claims Saban's comments were a violation of SEC bylaws.

The Crimson Tide currently boast the No. 37 overall recruiting class in 2023 but have only accepted three commitments, leaving Alabama with plenty of room and time to secure another top-five class under head coach Nick Saban.

Four-star defensive lineman Yhonzae Pierre is the Tide's third commitment to its 2023 recruiting class.

The 6-foot-5 Georgia product visited Tuscaloosa and met with Saban for nearly an hour on Wednesday, calling the seven-time national champion, "very strategic."

One of the 5-star prospects, defensive lineman Peter Woods recently told On3 Sports that he has narrowed down his list of potential schools to a final four.
