I think Coach Vaughn is doing good. He took over a mess. After Coach Bo for fired mid-season last year for gambling on our games the team finished strong, but all our top talent hit the portal. Coach Vaughn had to basically rebuild a roster.

We are a solid tournament team. Our record is 31-18 (11-14) but we play in the toughest conference by far. Our RPI is #11. Strength of Schedule is 4. We have two game left with LSU this weekend at The Joe and a three-game series next week against last place Auburn. We are currently projected as a 2 Seed. Finish the season strong and win a couple games in the conference tournament and we will be in discussions of hosting a Regional.

I like Vaughn. I think he has the program on a good path.

A good pickup for the staff. Jones adds experience and depth. The ACC is not the SEC but our freshman have high school experience. If nothing else, he will make the talented freshman work hard and earn their playing time.

We'll know something about our team after the UGA game.

He is an experienced DB albeit in the ACC.  Still, his playing experience is something Bama needs.  Gotta hope our coaches will help him improve in a hurry, which will give the freshmen time to learn the D.

The portal had few - if any -  top guys.  To me, coaches have done a good job finding the best of what's out there. There will be a lot of unknowns in the first few games.  Gotta hope some guys step up and stay healthy.
 

Since Cliff Omoruyi was added Bama has jumped from being projected as a Top 10 team next year to Top 2. Kansas and Bama are projected to play for the championship. ESPN Bracketology has Bama projected as a #1 Seed.
