re: Will this recruiting class finish strong at all?

Don't forget, at least some of these players are going to sign in 2-3 weeks. That removes one of Saban's great plays: the last minute flip.

We are still trying to adjust to staff losses last season. I hope the roster is loaded with 4 and 5 stars we have forgotten because they are buried on the depth chart. This is going to be a very Meh! recruiting class.

It's not Saban's fault, just a confluence of circumstances we haven't overcame yet.
