They find every loophole in the book. For example, there's a thing they do were an existing scholarship player leaves the school/program by a certain date, and then an early enrollee recruit for the next year enrolls in school as a "walk-on" for a Wintersession term (late Dec. or early Jan. for like two weeks or whatever) and doesn't actually sign an LOI, and then is granted a scholarship in the full spring semester and only counts against the 85 limit and NOT the 25 signing limit.

Bama will find a loophole and take in extra players. They do it every year and are never challenged.

Keep telling yourself that, dummy. Saban is a great recruiter, a great game day coach, a great executive leader, a great organizer of practices, a great academic councilor, and a great public relations manager.

Lol yep.
I am sure Miles and O would win a lot of titles with Saban as the their Recruiting Coordinator.
I get why our fans are jealous/mad.

Bama didn't raid LSU in Louisiana but they've sure taken over in Texas.

It seems that they get to 27 or 28 every year as they don’t spend a lot of time lamenting and bitching about transfers and early departures. They just reload.

There is a decent chance this will happen and Roberts will be looking elsewhere in a few years.

When he does, they will just sign another 4 star high school lineman to take his place.

An entire OL from this class:
Latham OT, 5-star
Brokermeyer OT, 5-star
Ferguson G, 4-star
Brokermeyer C, 4-star
Roberts G, 4-star

Give them the golfer's clap, and beat their arse next November.

Ferguson is their most versatile OL that could play 4 posi ions.

I looked at Bama's depth chart and if they win the championship and this group gets their ring I think you will see a bunch hit the portal. Many postioins are stacked with sophs to grads. On offense those guys are largely upperclassmen all through the depth chart. Defense is younger and not much different classwise from us.

They’ll take scholarship kids and greyshirt them for a year to make numbers work.

That is similar to how Nebraska built their great teams back in the day. They gave some type scholarship to every big farm boy they could find. Let him stay in the muscle building program for a couple of years. If he proved capable they would move him to an athletic scholarship to play football.
