    Last Call | Alabama Football Just Got a HUGE Recruiting Lifeline

    On this episode of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jake Coker break down the biggest changes happening across college sports — and what they could mean for Alabama Football, Kalen DeBoer, recruiting, NIL, and the future of college athletics. The guys discuss the NCAA’s new “five-for-five” eligibility rule, why Jake Coker believes the old redshirt system was outdated, and how modern college athletes are entering programs more prepared than ever. They also react to NCAA reform allowing transitioning FCS programs immediate postseason eligibility, including possible bowl and College Football Playoff access. The conversation then turns to the Protect College Sports Act, federal NIL legislation backed by Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell, Nick Saban’s continued influence as one of the leading voices in college football, and how revenue sharing could help Alabama stay competitive against programs like Ohio State and Texas. Plus, Mick and Jake dive into Alabama’s recruiting strategy under Kalen DeBoer, the balance between five-star high school talent and transfer portal experience, how coaching connections impact portal recruiting, and what Alabama must do to keep landing elite players. Also on the show:MLB Draft changes that could impact college baseball, Alabama Baseball’s recent World Series run, Pearl River Resort, Patriot Roofing, mosquito swarms, cicadas at the ballpark, and recent guests including Richard Karn, Greg Valentine, and Reggie Smith.
