Arkansas has three guys that I think we be immediate impact type players.
McTelvin Agim (defensive end), Devwah Whaley (RB), and TJ Hammonds (flex slot hybrid type in the mold of Percey Harvin). These guys are studs and are too good to redshirt. I'm sure there are others, but these guys are just off the top of my head.

Austin Capps is another guy that should be in the rotation pretty quickly on the defensive line.

Kyle Davis
NCM
Marlon Davidson
Derrick Brown
Landon Rice
Antwaun Jackson
Paul James

Trayveon Williams likely will since we don't really have a back with his skill set on the team right now

Aaron Hansford either at OLB or H Back

Possibly Madabuike

Tyrel Dodson will likely get a chance to play right away also


Good list.

While I think Ford gets the lion's share. Williams will have to beat out White & Bussey for the #2 spot.

Hansford a a pass catching TE easily.

Madubuike is too good not to see the field even if we are stacked at DE.

Dodson is the one everyone is hoping will get a shot right away. Moore looked good as a true fish LB last year. If Dodson can match that then I will be pleased.

Edit: I will add Fuller or Oliver competing for a starting spot at corner.

Those 3 will play a lot next year? Will Holyfield be the #3 back?

Good chance of that imo.

Simmons and Ridley because we desperately need receivers. If we get Robertson he would most likely start.

I think Emmons will be in the mix very early on. With Scarbrah, Harris, and Emmons we should he be pretty beastly at the tailback position in 2016.

We are lucky for sure. If we didn't end up with him in this class our LT situation this upcoming year would have been a shite show

Divinity will have a roll considering how light we are at LB.

Drake Davis looks to be a stud, will be playing immediately.

Fulton might get in there in some packages.

Lawrence will get a lot of time on the defensive line.

It's still the hardest position to come in and play right away other then QB. Little might be starting by mid season. If he starts earlier, you can't help but think he struggles

Who is Drake Davis gonna play over ? He isn't starting next season over Dural, Chi, and TJ. And he has Ferguson, Quinn, etc

If you have a freshman playing significant time at LT, your team is in trouble.

The only recruit that will be an impact player from day one for Bama is Baldwin. All of the other guys will be backups or redshirted. That's why it's hard to get too excited about Bama's recruiting class. Most of them won't get major playing time for another two or three years.

You need to get your testosterone levels checked man. If you can't get excited about Alabama football right now you've got problems.

Normally, yes. If they are Cam Robinson or Laramy Tunsil types? No.

I am very excited about Alabama football right now. It's hard to get pumped up about a recruiting class when a) Only one or two of those players will likely be major contributors next year. b) The top four ranked players from the recruiting class are OT, MLB, OLB and Juco OT, not exactly the most glamorous positions in the world.
