I have a feeling that Bama will be substantially better this upcoming year as a team then last year. The defense will be as solid or better and any QB on the roster will be a better fit for DeBoer then Milroe.
Any chance Russell starts as a true freshmen? (Ducks fan, I don’t really follow Bama but we all really wanted to get Keelon, keep him with DK Moore, he’s a hell of a QB)
I have a feeling that Bama will be substantially better this upcoming year as a team then last year. The defense will be better next season then it was this year. Milroe leaving will be a positive for our offense I think too RTR.
To keep Jimmy & Luke up on what I know of Ohio State for next year: 1) OL will be very good as 3-4 experienced interior linemen join 2 highly regarded OTs from Transfer Portal. 2) WRs will be as good or better than this year. 3) TE should be better than this year due to Transfer Portal too TE from Purdue. 4) They say Julian Sayin is a football prodigy, smartest QB Ryan Day has ever coached. They refer to him as a “Football Savant”. Sees the field like a coach does. Decent arm a little light weight and 6-2 tall with good release and deadly accuracy. Future NFL 1st round pick expected. 5) RBs decent assuming Junkins goes Pro. May get another Transfer Portal RB in Spring as currently have 1 good sophomore, 2-3 highly touted unproven freshman, and 1 good transfer from WVU. Overall, Offense should be very good. One of best in country. Now Defense is much more uncertain. 6) DL all 4 new starters. May see more NIL activity this Spring here. Young with talent. Probably decent to good and get better as year goes on. Depth could be a problem in a long playoff season. 7) LBs good maybe great depending upon how they develop. So far Sonny Styles and CJ Hicks have underachieved for players with 1st round potential upside. The MLB however has been a pleasant surprise. 8) DBs good to great but some inexperience. Super talented but 2-3 new starters. Hopefully depth won’t be a problem. Bottom line: Julian Sayin expected to shine much like CJ Stroud did in his 1st year. DL, Secondary and RBs will probably decide whether they can defend their NC.
lol Michigan won a championship for the 1st time in 40 years and has 2 in 76 years. Alabama is 2-2 against Michigan the last 4 and it does suck such a bad team beat Bama. Things will change real quick it was DeBoers 1st year. Saban was 2-0 and won 6 championships compared to 1 for Michigan. Bama is far superior they just had a change of coaches and like I said Michigan will stay mediocre. Bama will rise!!
@@foodiesaustin not throwing the ball to the opponent isn’t something you should have to coach in college unless the player shares your learning disability. Blame the player.
LSU is bringing in the top ranked portal class and returning arguably the best QB in the SEC. Not outlandish to think they could make a playoff run next year
In all honesty, Alabama is far better than these media pundits are polling for 2025. I’m Ohio State fan but still respect Alabama and anyone can see they still have many great players on the fit. Last year Alabama vastly underachieved. It was Kaleb DeBoer’s 1st year. Jim Tressel had a rough first year at Ohio State and went on to win the NC over that great Miami Team in 2002, the very next year as I recall. Maybe DeBoer will have a similar fate next year? It comes down to QB and just getting control over the team.
Jimmy, Ohio State did sign Julian Sayin (via Alabama) and Tavien St Clair in back to back classes. Sayin will be redshirt freshman (sophomore) likely starting QB in 2025 & 2026. St Clair likely starter 2027 & 2028 his true senior year. Believe it or not, we were even high on Curtis’ list too. It’s a QB backlog but competition sorts it out and NIL makes it palatable for the recruits. Case in point, Air Noland was in Sayin’s class and stayed winter thru fall before transferring for his 2nd NIL already at SC, who also has a QB already. Truthfully I don’t like having all these QBs simultaneously because you know only max 1/year will stay.
Our CRIMSON TIDE will be a much better team next season!! I have all the faith in Coach DeBoer to get our Crimson Tide in great shape and ready to go! ROLL TIDE!!
@@Onelastbreath1976you know it can go right to him and still be the center at fault right? His timing was off at times not just his aim which was awful. No one is saying Milroe was good by any means

Caleb Downs chased the bag and ended up with a Nati! Fair play to him. I do believe Alabama would have made the playoffs with Caleb on the roster. He had a great season at Ohio State and elevated the defense - welcome to the portal and NIL world!
Regarding Seth McLaughlin and some of the hate he’s getting on this board. He’s been nothing but a Class Act at Ohio State as he was at Alabama. At Alabama he was an Honors student who I believed graduated early. In addition to being The Remington Award Winner as the Nation’s Best Center in 2024, he has been outstanding in the Locker Room and Classroom at Ohio State. After a season ending injury, before the Michigan Game and CFP’s, instead of recoiling and giving up, Seth helped the 2 backup OG & Center get ready for the NC run. He has been nothing but a ray of Sunshine at Ohio State who should make You feel Proud. I’m sure Nick Saban feels that way towards Seth. Seth had nothing but good things to say about Alabama, while asked at Ohio State. Caleb Downs has exceeded expectations too. Both Class Acts that were indicative of What Saban built at Alabama.
Alabama being in front of Tennessee, Ole Miss, and South Carolina is criminal. How bad does Bama have to get before they stop getting special treatment?
Yep Seth had the yips last year. After spending 40 years on baseball fields I've seen it quite a few times. They can go away as mysteriously as they appear, or they can end a career and never go away. People are going to get sick of seeing me write it but next year Alabama will go as the OL goes. Every single team in the playoffs had an OL that put out more effort than ours has since 2020. Even the ones with much less talent. It's not a talent problem. It's an effort problem.
Seth McLaughlin will always haunt my mind when it comes to Alabama players. We can think of Alabama killers like Watson,Newton,Manziel. But offensive linemen either get talked like pillars or burdens, for all of his great blocking there is probably a blooper reel of bad snaps, the creme of the crop being that bad snap on the goal line against Michigan. Caleb, great guy that was nudged to jump after Saban whether it was his dad or the NIL deal. It is just criminal that Caleb will be remembered as a Buckeye.
Cant be mad when a man decides to go after a natty and gets one when he knew alabama wasnt going to compete for one and yes that is the facts they didnt compete for one so cant blame him
@@KerryCarson-r3n they might have made the playoff if Downs hadn’t bailed on his teammates. Just one play was difference in Vandy loss. Maybe character is a foreign concept to you? I mocked Bond on twitter when he was injured in SECC & I’ll do the same to sorry downs when he gets carted off.
Downs left solely for greed & complete absence of loyalty or appreciation for UA staff, teammates, and Bama Nation. I will celebrate any setback he suffers going forward and we have every right to feel that way. Can we please stop talking about this cancer? Alabama lost to Michigan for same reason it lost to Tennessee & Oklahoma. QB blunders gave them little chance to win.
Bama lost over half its scholarship limit (46 players) when Saban retired. Of course they didn't do good last season, of course they don't have many draft picks half of them transfered! Come on y'all this is basic stuff
Bama will lose to Georgia, South Carolina, LSU, Tennessee and Auburn. With a possible of losing to Vanderbilt if they cannot defend the option, as Bama fans we may as well face the reality.
Reality check. Bama is going to be about the same . Damn I hope that doesn't mean we lose to barners. Ohio state proved you do your homework, then you spend the most money. Bama doesn't have the dollars to compete. Unfortunately , the barn has Yellowwood, Jimmy. Wake the hell up Bama, money talks and b.s. walks. I didn't invent it Luke.
Nah man, committing to OSU is unforgivable. Caleb Judas Downs and Seth McLaughlin should be banned from the NFL and CFB. Rather they just go to Connor Stallions Tech University like Injustice Haynes.
Sorry Jimmy but you being an Alabama homer is very obvious when you say things like Indiana and SMU would have lost if they played Oklahoma in 24. If they somehow would have lost, I will say it wouldn't have been 24-3. The bottom line is Bama probably should have lost to Georgia and South Carolina too last year which would have given them a 7-6 record. Face it, this ain't your Nick Saban Bama teams and not even close. I predict that next year Bama will lose at least 3 games. Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, Auburn will all be very tough.
I have a feeling that Bama will be substantially better this upcoming year as a team then last year. The defense will be as solid or better and any QB on the roster will be a better fit for DeBoer then Milroe.

McLaughlin was the top center in the nation. The snaps were on milroe. Who call the cadence? The QB!
Snap and cadence are different. He snapped the ball on the ground or 12 feet in the air.
@CalebandAlexWhite not most of the time. Most of it went straight at milroe and he wasn't ready for it or expecting it.
