Drake Maye flipped his commitment from Alabama to North Carolina last month in a move that's not foreign to Crimson Tide fans in recent recruiting cycles. In the 2017 and '20 classes Nick Saban and company saw two highly-rated quarterbacks in Jake Fromm and Carson Beck both flip to Georgia ahead of their senior seasons. In both instances Bama turned around and added top-rated signal callers in Tua Tagovailoa and Bryce Young, in respective years.

The Tide could be prepping itself for an encore performance in 2021 with one of the signal callers Saban and staff have set their sights on being Top100 Texas commit Jalen Milroe.
