Junior Day Coverage: Recruiting nuggets, live show and more

Kalen DeBoer and his Alabama staff have wrapped up a busy past few weeks on the recruiting front.
Aside from a three-day dead period from Jan. 13-15, Bama has been going nonstop since Jan. 8. Following portal season, DeBoer and Company immediately hit the road to check in on top prospects across the country during the contact period. A number of noteworthy recruits received multiple visits from the Tide staff as they secured junior day visits from them throughout the process.
Saturday saw Bama bring in top targets from coast to coast, including from the state of Alabama. It was — by all accounts — a massive success, with several visitors scheduling official visits with the Tide.
Oh, and a day later, news broke that former Washington Huskies/Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb would be making his way back to Alabama.
As such, there is a lot to discuss and intel to dive into. BamaOnLine has you covered.
Here is everything you may have missed from the past few days.
