2026 Derrek Cooper 5* RB/ATH from Chaminade

it’s what they've been doing for years and they still have Saban behind the the scenes making sure nil is on point.

People on here keep saying the playing field is level.

Obviously it’s not.

All the top spending schools are still Hoarding 5 stars like toilet tissue during a pandemic.

We’re only getting one this year and that’s pending 247 not dropping him if he isn’t pancaking everyone in every play.

Mario is a great recruiter. But Benjamin Franklin is undefeated. And don't for one second believe that bama’s new coach has the same pull as Saban.

Bama or not, 5 star kids are not gonna take less money because it’s bama. There is too much money to be left on the table.
And taking multiple of them isn’t cheap. So no, the playing field hasn’t leveled and people on here and on social media acting like they know what our budget is are lying. They’re repeating what they’ve been told or what they’ve heard.

I believe the term is “the math is not mathing”.
So while Russell may not be worth the alleged nil Syracuse is giving him (I doubt that number is true). He also isn’t a lock to be elite as Cooper is projected to be.

Losing cooper to bama or Uga will 100% be a money issue.
This isn’t gonna be a J smith type situation. J Smith had to be pulled away from osu. According to all the recruiting gurus this is a cane lock and some in here have said “worst kept secret in sofla is cooper to Miami”.

“Confidence is the feeling we have before knowing all the facts”
John Dryden

So despite my doom and gloom I still believe we are recruiting above our national perception and performance on the field.

We’re still not recruiting at the level we need to be the team we want to be or beat the teams we need to beat.

Saban has been more involved than making sure NIL is there. He's been in the locker room on recruit visits.

Countless insiders told us we are in good position and in advance were notified the kid will enjoy the process yet the board freaks out when it plays out that way. Never change CIS never change.

What Bama is doing feels a little like what OSU did last year. OSU lost to Michigan again. People were ****ed. They opened up the vault to lock in Smith and they bought a bunch of 5 stars early (they lost at least Offord can’t remember the rest) got Chip Kelly etc etc

Feels like Bama was ****ed about having such a down year

The kid and his mom on social media haven't been shy about putting out content enjoying the process. Probably mom is a single mom who NEEDS the OV visit bags and wants DC to prolong the process as much as possible. The vibe shows me they know where they're going but people wanna ignore the tea leaves and overreact to basic recruiting social media chatter that all recruits do for attention. I'll spell it out for the masses, CANE.

People that think Bama can’t compete financially just don’t realize they haven’t had the down years to have people step up. Like you said, you’re seeing it right now. Let them lose 3 games again this year, the flood gates will open.

Miami fans have been like this since the dawn of social media. I didn't post on Grassy but read it, started posting once it became Canestime. Even back then, I remember fans complaining about Butch saying he was trash well into the 2000 season.

He’s more Barry Sanders mixed with Emmitt Smith with the power of Bettis and the longevity of Gore.

Anybody that thinks otherwise would have to be an idiot of elephantine proportions.

I’m lost here

Did we pencil in Cooper to Bama over a pic of two players talking about how cool it would be to play together?

Is it yalls first day or did I miss something else?

Yep, in Break Neck speed fashion CIS has concluded his commitment date change and the bama pic as evidence he’s headed to bama?! Cooper is a Cane when the fog dissipates!

Ridiculous.

I love that you put this. If they are some nfl factory that sprinkles nfl protein powder on their pancakes then all of them should be high draft picks. But they’re not and bama won’t get called out by anyone about lack of development because by default at least 2 of those kids are gonna put up numbers and get drafted high.

Also, people have said that the new coach “just has to get his guys in there”.
Really?!!!! Dude has a roster that’s like 3 deep with blue chips at most positions. Exactly who the fck does he need to get in there to run his scheme? 😂

Why are you looking for people to come out of the closet CIS?

That’s weird dude. There’s an entire internet out there for you though.

You're doing such a splendid job...I just figured there were a few more of you....it appears I'm right. Not a lot of your type, but instead enough so that you can try and be funny. Your comedy misses the mark horribly.
