Wednesday is going to be a crazy day for a lot of programs, but especially for Alabama. The Crimson Tide has the top recruiting class of 2023, highlighted by Keon Keeley, cornerback Caleb Downs and running back Justice Haynes. But one of the most regarded classes in recent program history can potentially become legendary for two reasons.

First, Alabama could get some serious offensive line help with the potential addition of Kadyn Proctor, the top prospect in Iowa who originally committed to the in-state Hawkeyes. But a recent visit to Tuscaloosa has definitely created waves...

Hopefully the merry Christmas will start a few days early!

Good article but we won't know for sure until closing time tomorrow. RTR!

Kaydn Proctor has flipped his commitment from home state Iowa to ALABAMA!  6'7" 330lb. 5 star OL prospect. ROLL TIDE!!!

WOOOT!!!

Olaus Alinen (OL) has signed his letter of intent (LOI).  He's the first!

 #+ #+

He held offers from other prominent programs such as Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon and Miami. However, he was firm in wanting to be a member of the Crimson Tide and play under Nick Saban.

The 6-foot-6, 315-pound lineman is originally from Finland, but has been playing high school ball in Connecticut.

9:24 a.m.: The big one is in.

The big headline of the week was Kadyn Proctor flipping his commitment from home-state Iowa to Alabama. The No. 2 offensive tackle made it official Wednesday with his LOI.

Tony Mitchell listened to what Auburn, Texas A&M and other recruiters had to say to him during his senior season.

In the end, though, he opted to stick with his original commitment.

Mitchell – the No. 4 player on AL.com’s A-List of top seniors in the state – signed with Alabama on Wednesday...

Well done Chechem in keeping us up to signings. Thank you my friend. RTR!

What time are the Carver HS boys making their announcement?

1pm CST on ESPN

Thanks, HL.

I saw ESPN, but it's looking like ESPN2. 

Russaw and Smith to BAMA.  RTR!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!  #+ #+ #+

WOW! This a monster class and with the right coaches I could see 2 NC trophies coming home. RTR!

But we're still stuck with O'Brien and Golding so we'll likely not see either of those...  :'(

I expect Golding to be around next year, but I'd be surprised if BoB doesn't make quiet exit in early January.

With the young talent out there in coaching CNS needs to get rid of both of them. RTR!

Bama with the #1 recruiting class. WOOOOT!!!  #+ #+ #+

#1 Class today and possibly the #1 class of all time especially at Alabama. RTR!

THIS is the key to understanding how well Nick Saban did this year:

Tops recruits in Alabama this year.

Everybody says the dynasty is over.........

Well it was a near perfect day. All CNS lost was one and that was the Woods guy to Clemson. RTR!

Does anybody know what time Desmond Ricks is gonna say his commitment? RTR!

5:30 CT today (Thursday).  Sounds like LSU has a good chance at him.

BAMA IT IS!  ROLL TIDE ROLL!

WOW! What a class CNS has reeled in. RTR!

Remember, the assistants AND COORDINATORS, get a lot of the credit too.
