Start with what you have in this class.

The NFL Ol, headlined by 5 star OT Cam Robinson and #1 JUCO OT Dominick Jackson. Add in studs like Josh Casher, JC Hass, Piersbacher, and the sleeping giant McBride, and there is talent galore up front.


We know you need to dominate the trenches to win, and the OL will do that, but the defensive front is SICK. Da'Shawn Hand, Rashaan Evans, and Christian Miller have so much potential that if they were on three different teams, they could all easily get well over 10 sacks in their best CFB season, should they live up to the hype. But all on one team? They won't produce like that, but boy will they be effective. Plus Josh Frazier and Jarran Reed give us the big 300+ pounders who can clog against the run, but these two also bring a bit of athleticism to the table. Throw in Johnny Dwight and OJ Smith for depth. SDH and maybe Ronnie Clark and you've got some athletic inside LBs.


Step aside Legion of Boom, the Bama secondary class of 2014 is talented. Marlon Humphrey and Tony Brown may be the two best Corners in this class, depending on who you ask. They're long, and they're track athletes with elite speed. Tony Brown is already 6'0" 210 and runs a sub 4.4, but Marlon will need to bulk up a bit. Hootie Jones is one of the best Safeties the class has to offer, and comes in at already 220lbs, so physically he's ready. Ronnie Clark may play a SS or Money role, and at 6'3.5" he may be the big hitter we've missed since Barron took his talents to Tampa Bay.


You've got two prototypical QBs for the new OC/QB Coach to mold in Jacob Coker (6'5" 230lbs) and David Cornwell (6'5" 241lbs). Both a little raw, but the UPSIDE is HUGE.

Cam Sims and Derek Kief are towers at WR, neither a burner and more in the possession WR mold. Sims standing at 6'4" and Kief at 6'5". Throw in Bo Scarbrough as a tailback/WR hybrid at a swole 6'2" 225lbs and you've got a talented little group of skill position players. Don't forget top JUCO Tight End Ty Smith, 6'3" 245lbs of TOUCHDOWNS MOTHER frickERS.


This class is truly elite, but combine it with last year's class and the team has unimaginable potential.

That class wasn't as stout on the offensive front as this one, but it added some good players in Grant Hill (who has already seen action at RT), Brandon Hill (a huge RT prospect), and Leon Brown from JUCO, who has already started a game at RG.

The defensive front was pretty solid too. Highlighting that portion of the class was 5 star DE Jon Allen, who contributed as a Freshman. 5 star DL A'Shawn Robinson led the Tide in sacks as a Freshman, and 5 star ILB Reuben Foster is poised to start in 2014. Guys like Dee Liner and Tim Williams provide talented depth.

The secondary class wasn't as stellar as the 2014 class looks to be. The talented Maurice Smith was the best coming out, and Anthony Averett received a RS. Star athlete ArDarius Stewart, after starting his career as a slot WR, may move to the secondary in 2014. 4 star Eddie Jackson started two games for the Tide and had promising performances. Jonathan Cook, thought to be a gem, redshirted.

The skill positions were STACKED. Most notably was the Nation's All Time Leader in High School Career Rushing Yards, the 6'3" 240lb Derrick Henry, who had a monster Sugar Bowl for the Tide. #1 WR Robert Foster redshirted, and lengthy WR 6'4" Raheem Falkins played in mop up duty. Tyren Jones redshirted, and Altee Tenpenny saw a few carries. You can't leave out 5 star TE OJ Howard, who looks to have a big 2014 under Lane Kiffin.

The class also featured QBs Cooper Bateman and Parker McLeod.


So most of that was just babbling trying to mention everyone, but tl;dr: WE STACKED EVERYBODY ELSE IS frickED

I posted on the sec recruiting page about how these 2 classes (in a row) are off the charts and I really didn't get much of a response. If the QB position develops we should be ready to take it down in 2015 with these 2 classes.

I 100% agree with the two posts ahead of mine.

Yep, wish he would have taken that aggression out on the field.
