For A&M:
QB - A+
Kyle Allen is the #1 QB in the country and is in school for the spring. Recruited specifically for the Sumlin Offense.
RB - D
No running backs signed. The only reason this isn't an F is because A&M has 4 backs on the roster (none are seniors) and 2 more 4 stars committed for 2015.
WR - A
Of the four signed, only Jamal Jeffrey won't see the field immediately. Would have been A+ if we could have gotten Dupre.
TE - I
Don't really use the TE in our offense. Frank Iheanacho can grow into one if necessary and we have a 4-star TE signed for 2015.
OL - A
Full crop of O-linemen and only the JUCOs need to play immediately.
DE - A+
Myles Garrett is the #1 player in the country on half the sites and top 5 on others. Qualen Cunningham is no slouch either. Johnson may even contribute if he's ready. Allows us to move Julien Obioha back to his natural position at SDE.
DT - A-
Would have been nice to get Josh Frazier, but Henderson should be able to play immediately and we can redshirt Washington.
LB - B
Needed Young to really make it an A, but filled the claring deficit at SAM. Still concerned that there's no impact player at Mike with Claiborne moving to WILL.
CB - B-
Harvey is an impact player, but he's the only one signed. Whiffed on Tony Brown.
S - C
Don't get me wrong, Watts and Wilson will be solid players, maybe even impact starters, but this was the biggest need and Marcel Yates absolutely fricked us...taking Dylan Sumner-Gardner and basically pushing Steven Parker to OU. Made a late push for Mattrell McGraw, but it might have been too late.

QB - A-. White will be a good college QB, but lacks the pure athleticism of other top end guys out there.
RB - A(assuming pettway makes it in). Roc is an unreal talent, and pettway has tons of potential.
WR - A. DQ is a potential 1st rounder immediate impact guy and is an EE. Signed some decent high school prospects as well, but will need time to develop.
OL - B+. Only signed one high school OL, but no real need for more b/c of our current depth. Braden Smith is a freak and has great work ethic. A potential three or four year starter after a RS year. Dampier is a JUCO center who has time to develop to fill Dismukes role.

Best class we've signed in 10+ years. It's deep, and it fills positions of need. It definitely addresses our defensive woes, as it features 12 ****s on that side of the ball.
The only thing it's missing is a QB, but the staff didn't feel like there were any feasible prospects out there worth taking.

QB: A
Love Sean White. Deadly Accurate.
RB: A
Not much of a need here. Got Roc Thomas who will be a stud. Add in Kamryn Pettway and I have no complaints.
WR: B+
Could've done better. Got D'haquille who will be a instant impact and probably one and done. Truitt is a quality pick up too. We're pretty full already on WRs. Would've preferred one high rated guy.
TE: B
Would've liked an elite guy. Jakell Mitchell and Chris Laye aren't too shabby though.
OL: B-
Only need was a center. Filled that spot with an average JUCO player. Also got a big commitment from Braden though.
DL: A
Mix of high rated JUCO and HS guys. Very happy here.
LB: B+
Tre Williams was a huge pickup for us. We need quality LBs bad. Deshaun Davis is solid but I really wanted Evans.
CB: A+
Definite position of need. Got two highly rated guys in Ruffin and Bessent.
S: A+
Moncrief should be an immediate contributor. Roberts will be a good player for us back there too. Boston has potential.

Ole Miss:
QB: D
3* Kendrick Doss is the only QB we signed.
RB: B
D.K. Buford is going to be a beast.
WR: A+
Markell Pack is going to replace Donte Moncrief easily.
TE: F
Only signed Jeremy Liggins, who might play defense.
OL: A+
4* Rod Taylor, 3* Tyler Putman, 3* Sean Rawlings, and 2* Talbot Buys. Them plus Laremy Tunsil will be beast.
DE: B
Breeland Speaks will fit nice with Robert Nkemdiche.
DT: A
Gerrald McDowell and Chris Williams look like they will fit nice on the line with RN and Speaks.
Special Teams: A++++
We signed the #1 kicker in the country, Gary Wunderlich.

QB - A
Brandon Harris is a great dual threat prospect that's already shown solid leadership skills through the Under Armour game and his efforts to solidify the rest of the class.
RB - A+
Leonard Fournette. Sky is the limit. Darrell Williams would be the best back in most classes and could see some PT as a freshman too.
WR - A+
Two top 10 WRs (Quinn and Dupre) plus Chark and Upchurch... solid top to bottom. Dupre is the #1 or #2 WR in the country and Quinn broke all the HS WR records.
TE - A
Jacory Washington is a highly coveted prospect that anyone would have wanted in their class.
OL - B-
Great prospects in Clapp and Brumfield, but I really wish we could have recruited a couple more this year.
DE - A
Godchaux is a great prospect...big and athletic... and Teuhema was a great pull this morning. Held on to the #1 recruit out of Oklahoma (Deondre Clark). We missed out on a couple of really highly touted DEs in this class (to UF and UGA), which offers some disappointment here, but it's still a great haul.
DT - A
Staff hit a home run picking up 2 DTs in the final hours. Valentine is enormous and Trey L will be great too.
LB - A-
Garret could start right away at ILB, and is a natural leader. Alexander is a fine prospect too. Could have used Kenny Young.
CB - B+
Ed Paris will be a star and did a lot of work to get this class where it is today. Gage earned a late offer and looks like he could be a solid contributor. Unfortunately we couldn't reel in Tony Brown or Adoree.
S - A+
Jamal Adams is going to be an absolute stud. Devin Voorhies has been a solid Tiger for over a year and has reeled in the accolades in his senior season. John Battle is so much of a sleeper that I had to edit him in here.

Alabama:
QB:
Jacob Coker transfers in to be the presumptive starter in the short-term. Top 5 pro-style and 4-star QB David Cornwell signs as an early entree to compete for the job. No arguments here.
RB:
Bo Scarbrough is a 5-star athlete that will probably be more of a RB/WR hybrid. No other RB in the class, but the position is loaded with young guys alredy.
WR:
Two 4-stars in Cam Sims and Derek Kief. Nothing wrong with that as there is again loads of young talent already on campus, but probably the weakest part of the class.
TE:
Ty Flournoy-Smith is a JUCO guy originally from Georgia. 3-star recruit who was one of the top JUCO prospects.
OL:
One of the greatest offensive line classes I can remember seeing on paper. #1 OT Cam Robinson, #1 JUCO OT Dominick Jackson, and a top-10 OT Ross Pierschbacher. Also signed the top two centers in the nation and top 25 guard from Florida.
DL:
Stacked. #1 player Deshawn Hand, 4-star DT Josh Frazier, and two other 3-star high school DTs. Also signed a 4-star DT and a 4-star DE from JUCO for immediate depth.
LB:
Again, loaded. Signed 2 of the top 3 OLBs in the country and two 4-star ILBs.
DB:
Stacked, again. Two of the top three CBs in the nation and two top safeties.
Got lazy there towards the end, but basically our class is insanely loaded across the board

QB - A
Cornwell was the top rated Pro Style guy until he was injured. If he is fully recovered he will be a monster in Kiffin's offense
RB - I
We didn't sign a true RB. We've already got somewhere between Threve and $TEXAS on roster
WR - A
We signed Cam Sims and Derek Kief. Both are 4 star Possession Receivers in the mold of Kevin Norwood.
TE/H - B
Ty Flourney Smith if he stays out of trouble could provide the key that makes our offense go a respectable Hback/Motion TE.
OL - A+
Stoutland left the cupboard pretty bare. Cristobal absolutely went to work signing 6 big bodies, 5 of them elite guys. One of the best overall OL classes I've seen put together.
DL - A
If the game is truly won and lost in the trenches then Alabama should be ok going forward. Landing Rivals Top Player in Hand goes a long way, but the strength of this unit is the Depth. With us being a 3-4 team signing 6 DL guys provides immediate depth to a unit that has a lot of young talent on campus already.
LB - A
You can tell Saban wants to improve our speed on the edge. In addition to the above mentioned DL, we added 3 fast OLB's. In the past we have looked more for bulk at the Jack/Sam but with Miller, Evans, and Clark the emphasis is on speed. But despite all three being fast, they don't lack for talent or size.
CB - A+
Also an area when seemed to emphasize speed this year. Only two guys but both are 5 stars and are pretty good track athletes. Brown enrolled early but got off on the wrong foot with a discipline issue. Anyone who saw us this past year saw some youth but also the need for speed on the edges and depth. Brown and Hump fill those needs perfectly
S - B-
Hootie Jones is an above average Strong Safety but we needed at least one more elite guy.
ATH - A
Good News - We signed two athletes. Scarborough can be an impact player at any number of positions (RB, WR, HB, S, LB). I am not a huge fan of Holcombe but he is a legacy and will be a good GPA Booster. Any time you can get one of those types of guys and he is still a 4 star then that is just a plus.
K - F
This in no way reflects Scott's talent (which is hard to grade coming out of high school) but the simple fact we should never take Scholarship kickers. Get several walkons each year and when a guy contributes and does well then give him a scholarship. Kicker is such a flighty position that our Walk ons under Saban have greatly overperformed our Scholarship guys.

QB- A+ Cornwell and Coker are both 6'5" 240+ and both are mobile (cornwell rushed for over 700 yards as a junior), both have rocket-laser arms, cornwell will go through spring and Cocker has been on a similar offense for 2 years and should probably be able to plug right in. both have the arm talent to make any throw, both are legitimate run threats that will have to be respected.
RB- A Bo Scarborough has all the tools to be a complete beast at RB, and could be equally effective at receiver. a very rare prospect
WR- B- Kief and Sims are both huge athletic WRs with great hands. neither one is a burner
TE- B- The JUCO kid we got will probably be the best H-back we have on campus when he arrives, considered the best TE coming out of juco this year
OL- A++ Best oline class i can remember anyone getting
DE- A+ Hand is a beast consensus top 5, #1 on rivals. Pettway is a monster as well, and will beat you up and take your money
DT-A- Reed is a beast, one of the best JUCO tackles and will go through spring, Frazier is a monster. smith and dwight are huge powerful guys with tons of upside
LB- A++ Evans, Miller, SDH, Holcombe, Clarke (may grow into LB). best LB class in the country
CB- A++ 2 of the 3 best corners in the country, best CB class in the country
S- B Hootie is a great physical safety, clarke also will be if he doesnt get too heavy. B becasue we didnt really get the FS ballhawk kind of guy
The best part is we took 3 of our 6 5 stars directly away from divisional rivals, which is the tits
