Hulk, you couldn't be any further from the truth. We are being more selective for the first time this year. The past couple years, the staff was frustrated that we had very good to elite guys that we couldn't take at the end due to numbers. We'd taken a few guys that the staff didn't think as highly of. They didn't want that to happen this year. We're probably in on just about every 5* in the country. Probably more than even the last few years. We will have a massive haul.
Thank you Bama3714, that's exactly what I needed to hear. It just seems like as far as 5 stars go Ben Davis and Wilson are the only ones we have a shot at. The past 3 seasons we've pulled no less than 6 per year. I hope we match or exceed that.

We've already got 2 5-stars on different services in Robertson and Carter.
Give it time my new friend.

Not to mention that Kirby is working hard on Marlon Davidson (hello my Auburn friends) and Napier and Burns are pursuing Willie Allen (same goes for our LSU lurkers).

Is Carter still in town? I was happy to see him come, thought he may be slipping away. Feel better now though.

Let us not forget the crown jewel of the 2016 class, Rashan Gary, who has been recruited by Super Mario Cristobal for over 2 years.

I almost forgot Deontay Anderson who is very good friends with Maurice Smith and Deionte Thompson.

Jawon Pass was/is a 5-star on at least one service too.

I'm not sure why any of us would ever be worried 10 and a half months before signing day. It's March for God's sake.
You are correct in saying that we landed 6 composite 5 stars in the class of 2015.
None of the 6 were committed last March:
This is how things looked in March of 2014 for our class of 2015 composite 5 stars:
Blake Barnett - Committed to Notre Dame
Daron Payne - UA/AU battle
Calvin Ridley - Miami lean
Minkah Fitzpatrick - UA/tOSU/USCe battle
Damien Harris - tOSU/UK battle
Kendall Sheffield - A&M lean
When you look at our target list and don't think we have a great chance at many of the top prospects, remember that none of our 2015 5 stars were committed in March.
Recruiting is fluid. Things change literally every day. Relax, take a breathe and let CNS and crew do their jobs.

It seems like only a few players at the top (5 Stars) are considering us.

I like/hate the recruiting fodder but learned about 7 years ago that as long as Coach Nick Saban is at the helm then all other issues are laughable.

I'll add one tidbit. We lead BIG for the top DB in the class of 2017 from the state of Georgia. At this point, it would take a major upset for us not to sign him, even though signing day is almost 2 years away.
I'll try to post the highly rated 2016 guys we're in good shape for later. I will say to keep your eye on the following players that our coaching staff thinks are MUCH better than their rating (pretty much 5* guys).
OT/TE Robert Kraeling
OT Jauan Williams
RB/LB Devin White (IMO one of the top 10 overall players in the country)
RB Robert Washington
Ath Jay Jones

Who is the 2017 guy. I would like to research.

We offered another WR:
Tren'Davian Dickson Highlights
His Junior stat line is ridiculous:
90 Receptions
2166 Yards
39 TD's
