Anderson, who played just three snaps for the Crimson Tide in an injury-riddled 2022 season, is a redshirt freshman this year at LSU and has recorded 12 catches for 59 yards.

“You’d be playing more here than you are there,” Saban told Anderson while embracing after the game, wearing a wide grin on his face.

Saban needs to worry about his own receivers

Says more about Alabama’s shitty receivers than anything else.

Crazy how they went from having the best WR corps in SEC history not even 4 years ago to being one of the worst in the conference.

That’s completely out of line.

You can’t recruit other team’s players directly.

This but also he wouldn’t play more. The guy with similar build and skill set already was ahead of him in Kendrick Law. Law had 2 touches in addition to returns. Saban is just a slimy snake oil salesman piece of shite.

The only people that should be upset by this are the current receivers at Alabama.

there's much to bitch about it but this isn't one of the things, he's shown nothing to say he deserves snaps over anyone except maybe Lacy but they play different roles. The majority of the passing game is funneled through nabers and thomas, it is what it is.

Saban is smirking because he means that our WR's are too good for Anderson to play much, and his aren't. Like "damn those guys are good". Easy body language read here. This is nothing disrespectful

Alabama‘s receivers are terrible. AA was there for a year and decided it was not for him. He’ll get plenty of PT next season

You can say the same thing about us with defensive backs.

Says a lot that our 5th or 6th best receiver would see more playing time on a Bama team that doesn’t really prioritize the pass.
