Not sure if this was a question, but

Four schools in four years. Seems about right.

Looking like Jalijah Rutledge, 2026 WR committ will be flipping to Alabama. Not official, but that's the word. Sorry boys, just looking for something to get convo flowing.

I am sure there will be others. I like the posts but stopped paying too much attention or getting familiar with them until signing day, if they sign with us. As we all know though there is no guarantee past year one even when they show up.

Barring injury or something else unforeseen, Singleton will be our starter for the season opener.

[ASUFan4863]

We use to recruit against Alabama A&M. Losing a recruit to Alabama would be perfectly okay to me.

Agree. Says a lot about how far we have come and how much the game has changed.

[ASUFan4863]

Singleton has been the favorite to start since JJ Kohl opted out of the bowl game in December. Singleton and Loggains did not choose each other to stand on the sidelines together; They chose each other to hoist a championship trophy together.

Also wanted to add, this is not necessarily my belief/expectation for the season but it is their goal obviously.

It is a good sign for sure. It tells me he is good with the media, has picked things up well, and likely a leader already.

We don't know what we are losing. He could be a star for them or they could be wrong about him. It is so early that it is hard to know. It does look better to lose a player to Alabama but we have had a lot of NFL players whose offer lists were not impressive at all before.

That is how we want it to be. I would not want either of them here if that is not the goal. Loggains seems to think this team is going to be heavily improved based on the tidbits I have heard him tell people. Hope they achieve their goal for sure!

I think loggains is a good salesman so I’ll wait for some results to be optimistic but I sure do hope he’s right

Definitely a good salesman. Agree with you. They seem to think we will win a lot more than last year but I have set my expectations on 6 or 7 wins and will be very happy with anything more than that. I sure he surprises us with more wins!
