It may be the off-season for college football, but coaches and players are not sitting around sipping cocktails on a beach. Offseason workouts and strength & conditioning sessions are officially voluntary, but you have to think that teams like Alabama are likely getting 100% participation. Coaches can lead summer instruction but are limited to 8 hours per week total. The real task of the staff right now is recruiting for the future. A Quiet Period began on Thursday and runs until June 21. Then it all shuts down until July 31. At that point, teams are really starting to gear up for their 2026 season. The next three plus weeks are vital to recruiting.
Alabama currently only has six commits to the Class of 2027. Oddly enough, two of them are quarterbacks. Even so, it is a good start.
