re: Alabama Class of 2014 Recruiting MEGATHREAD (Goodnight sweet Prince)

I'll give it a shot:

QB: Cornwell has drawn favorable comparisons to Matt Stafford, but easily needs a yr I think coming off surgery and he'll be great if he is allowed to develop and learn the system and Coker likely lets that happen.

RB: It's a jumbled mess right now, wouldn't be surprised to see Bo RS by any means, but his size and athleticism might keep him from it if he will get on Special Teams and ball out

WR: Very deep position, a lot of guys at Kiffin's disposal and both guys we have coming in need development. Kief is raw and has a lot of talent but needs to develop it. Sims has a better chance being an EE to work his way out of a RS and he's already big and physical but the position is stacked so expect him to see a lot of time on Scout team as the best WR

No TEs to discuss

OL: I disagree with TS and agree with Sarc with CRob, he is a stud and better LT prospect than DJ or CyKo coming out of HS. DJ was extremely raw and more mauler and used a lot of power lacked technique and quick feet coming in, CyKo's biggest problem was his feet and technique with foot placement and backpedal and it continued through his whole career at Bama. Big Cam is 340 I believe and plays like he is 285 quick feet and awesome technique with sweeps and back pedal and being an EE he has a good shot to play possibly start and he will be a 3 yr starter and the best OT on the roster if he earns the start this yr. Also agree with G for D Jackson and possibly slide Hill back inside. I'm also excited to get a few guys to really push the competition at C and inside OL. This OL class is phenomenal and will show in 2 years.

DE: I could see JuCo guys rotate in a lot and Reed is a guy who could be a Stinson type consistent player at DE, also Pettway could move in on the DL at end

DT: Elam needs work on agility for sure but I still think he will see time in the rotation. Feel like Frazier is a beast body wise and even as highly rated as he is, still is underrated to me and his versatility makes him a Dareus clone and should see quite a bit of PT. One of the best groups at DL I can remember Bama signing in a LONG time.

MLB: SDH and Ronnie Clark (gonna put him here after he did really well at the UA game and Bama lost Whitley he gets the nod at ILB) both these guys will RS and learn from The others, depth is there even with losing Mosley

OLB: Miller will RS, he is talented but still really raw and skinny but lots of room to fill out. Hand jumps out because he's already a 3rd yr SEC starter's size (looked a lot like Upshaw body size just taller at UA game) and can do it all so I think we will see a good bit of him in rotation. Holcombe is extremely raw and will need to learn, think he will RS.

S: Hootie has a shot as an EE but likely will get in on STs but I wouldn't be surprised to see him more than I expect because of his size and what we lose at the position. Williams is one of those guys that could contribute at S or CB for me but need at S likely keeps him there but he will likely see a RS.

CB: I think Tony Brown has that immediate impact factor and is one of the guys most likely to earn starting or a lot of PT in this class. Marlon is still kinda sprawling to me and needs weight and stature also needs some more technique work especially with physically imposing guys on O. Quite a few young guys got a lot of PT last yr in the secondary so I expect a lot of competition and some better play from a few of those guys who struggled learning the position last yr.

P: Saban and staff had JK Scott commit first then Adrian Lamonthe come and walk-on after that both before the season started, had he been a month earlier I don't think staff would've offered and accepted Scott's commitment. Lamonthe is a ridiculously good P, I expect him to see majority of the PT next yr
