Alabama's historic 2023 recruiting class gets even better as the Tide adds another five-star player.
“It’s becoming a little bit more popular. I think five years ago there wasn’t a huge precedent,” Sports Illustrated’s director of recruiting John Garcia Jr. in November said of Ricks’ reclassification. “... But Ricks does it without having completed the recruiting process and now he’s jumping into official visits to multiple schools. It’s that part that is more rare. ... Ricks is both good enough and coveted enough to do that.
For a majority of his rushed recruitment, Ricks was tied to Brian Kelly and LSU. He was in Death Valley for the Tigers’ upset of then-No. 6 Alabama on Nov. 5. LSU also earned the coveted final visit, bringing Ricks on campus last weekend. Since April, Ricks had visited Tuscaloosa at least thrice, including an official stop during the Iron Bowl.
The morning before Ricks’ announcement, a batch of current LSU commits tweeted final pitches. Kelly’s group is ranked seventh nationally with 25 signees. But when it was time to pick a hat and cement his future, Ricks looked for the signature ‘A.’
