We may get one or we may get four. Either way I'll be pretty satisfied with this class.

I really feel that Frazier helped us out a lot with Elam at the army all american game. Could him visiting USC come back to hurt us with Elam?

True but this yr I feel like the Bama staff has set itself up just as strong as maybe 2008 for the last couple weeks till NSD

Just think sounds like worst case seems like we will pull in at least 2 (based on 247 rankings) 5 * players both at huge positions of need

I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but I'm reminded that every year around this time it seems that we're going to end with an amazing finish. Sure, there is usually a surprise or two, but for the most part we miss on our fair share down the stretch. Not saying we'll strike out on all of our big targets, but remember that it's unrealistic to think that we could finish with four more five stars.


Exactly what I was thinking. People start believing we're going to finish with all the remaining targets and then it's a let down when we don't.

Also agree with TS. We'll probably get a couple of the big targets remaining and that'll give us one hell of a class

Class is gonna be one of the best we've had under Saban either way, but with even a 2/4 finish it may be the best coming out.

The thing i love about this class is that its built in the trenches. Nobody knows more than us that our games are won at the line of scrimmage and this class solitifies our need to stay on top in that regard, both on O and D!!

I definitely understand the thoughts of those who feel we will miss on some of these targets. We always seem to get talked up at certain points, especially near signing day then end up missing a lot of our targets.

Regardless if we miss, I think we have a stellar class. I also think at worst we finish with Marlon and Elam. That's two more 5* in enormous position of needs.

We have to be realistic. Rashaan Evans isn't likely to come. We are trending but it is more likely he stays in Auburn. Chad Thomas is a long shot, hard to get those Miami kids out of Miami. Malachi Dupre is probably the best shot off the three. He is really good friends with Hump and will probably be sold on Kiffin and past usage of WRs.

Many seem to be disappointed if we miss on the few remaining targets but yet we will do something Saban has yet to do with any past class. Clowney, RN, and so one have eluded Saban. Every year he has gone after that elite DE pass rusher and yet has landed him. Until now we have Hand. Not to mention the top OL in the country and should end up with 2 of the top CBs as well. This class has met every need especially if we finish with MH and Elam.

Everyone is talking about the OL but the DL is nasty as well in regards to recruiting.

I see a scenario where we finish with Hump and miss on the others. That will lead to a NSD meltdown by some. I'm here to help.

Elam's trolling both fan bases on Twitter.

A UCLA fan on the DBMB told me they expect Whitley to start this year, and they will again have the best LB group in the country.

I honestly wont be mad. We just got our 10th 4* commitment. That has never happened in the history of our program. We've never even come close.

Elam will be visiting with our newest commitment this weekend though. Bama was apparently recruiting him.

Anyone know if Frazier to USC is a legit possibility?

He's visiting USC so anything can happen That being said, he said in an interview that he will not decommit. He is just taking a free trip to LA.

I still get nervous when they take visits. I remember when Whitley was taking a "free trip" to UCLA.

If we get MH and Elam I think our class has every need filled and then some. And it'll still be ranked #1 overall.
