Yeah. I'd would have loved to have Bulovas but I'm not going to melt over losing a kicker when there are other capable ones out there. The frustrating thing is how fluid Bama's recruiting board is and how them deciding on a player late in the process screws us on usually one player per year.

While there is plenty to criticize with our recruiting efforts at times (and I do my share of criticizing), I just don't think this is one of them. Going head-to-head with Saban on an out-of-state kid is a losing proposition for us.
If we go to Iowa or Wyoming and recruit a 3* guy that could turn into an All-Pro LT if developed well and Saban comes in at the last minute, we'll lose.

What makes me laugh here and displays how the player acquisition structure of college football is terrible is that Saban probably can't pronounce this guy's name and has probably only spoken to him once or twice. While our coaches have been working this kid for a year.

No doubt about it Gun. It sucks ... but it is what it is.

This definitely wasn't from lack of effort on our part. It's the Saban Effect, just dang!
-
Not to mention he committed without even visiting yet. I'm going to hold out 5% hope that Saban gave him an ultimatum and when he visits he hates their engineering school

Wouldn't get hopes up. If engineering school is his main priority, GT kicks the crap out of us and bama. He gone... find a replacement

Naive to believe that...It's the #Sabanblock like with Lashley, he won't let us have nice things that could beat him. Once Bulovas de-committed and we cheered, Bama calls.

He was 11/25 on FG in High school, I think we'll survive.

That's certainly what it seems like

We shouldn't have lost Lashley tho IMO. But yea, it's what Saban does.

Please don't do that. Those Max Prep numbers are wrong and he is an elite kicker with a strong leg. But it took a full offer from Bama to get him. He was signing with us otherwise and told multiple people and our staff that.
And no RP, our staff recruited him hard and well. We made a difficult choice to offer Day and lose another player (causing ensuing melt on the boards over it and second guessing our recruiting) to seal the deal. This one is not on us

Contrary to popular opinion, we have not lost any recruits due to a lack of effort. That's made up BS by those who have an agenda to push. In most cases, we have been the first to show interest in recruits, and when they suddenly blow up and get interest from the blue bloods, they forget who was first and has spent the most time with them. It's hard to recruit against the mystique of Alabama. It's not a Saban effect. It's an Alabama effect.

Man I hate Bama. How do our next options compare to Bulovis? Anybody got a comparison?

Man kicking recruiting is as hard as OL. But Williams has the leg strength to be NFL elite but not near as polished or consistant yet. Dillard it more consistant but he won't be as strong. Both have D1 offers but to come in day one, Buvolus is the one you felt good about being able to do that. And we have a difficult descision if we should offer a scholarship or preferred walk-on to the back ups.

I think we keep Bulovas if Mike Shula is Bammer coach.

I'm not sure I saw the melt on the boards over Day. Maybe I'm slippin ****

Mullen just played Saban! Forced him to use a scholarship on a kicker. What a dummy.
-
Does Bama even have a kicking coach on campus? We've got an ex-NFL kicker and coach on staff.
