Last year’s #ROLL1N9 recruiting class got some big assists in recruiting from the early commits like Pierce Quick and others who blanketed social media with the virtues of signing with the Crimson Tide. They also showed up for every home game, bonding together early to help recruit undecided prospects who were on official visits.

This year, Alabama is getting recruitment help from another indispensable source: the Bama Mommas.

Malachi Moore’s mother Penny is one of the ringleaders of the Mommas, bonding the mothers together to support their sons college pursuits. Many Most Basically all college football programs push the cliche of “family” (and in some cases “fambly” when it doesn’t ring true). What these ladies are doing is a true showing of support, welcoming and belonging. Mrs. Moore and the others have come to call the other recruits “nephews” and they are just as proud of them as they would be blood nephews.

A real leader don't lead people by what he say to them; he lead them by what they see him do. Thank you Coach Saban for taking the time to come and visit our home. Thanks for the opportunity to show you all the same hospitality provided to us every time we are home! ❤️❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/Ohlutjnnp7 — Tereon Anderson (@sweetteathatsme) December 12, 2019

Getting the moms on-board is always big when it comes to recruiting. Nobody is better at the in-home than Nick Saban.
