From New Jersey, Minkah Fitzpatrick is a 5-star cornerback who doesn't show much tightness in his hips when turning and running with receivers. His speed appears to be average for his position, but he makes up for it with great instincts.
Fitzpatrick, who is 6'0" and 185 pounds, also has good ball skills and range. He seems wide open at the moment, as Alabama, Florida State, Miami and Michigan are among his top schools, per 247Sports.
It's anybody's guess right now with him, but Alabama landing him wouldn't be a surprise.

A massive offensive lineman at 6'4" and 315 pounds, 5-star blocker Jalin Barnett can play tackle or guard. Yet, he fits best in the interior, as that is where his great strength is most effective.
Barnett, who is from Oklahoma, has adequate quickness at the snap to roll into defensive linemen. He can move his feet some to slide and mirror in pass protection, plus he plays to his size at the point of attack.
If Barnett doesn't stay in state and sign with Oklahoma, then it'll likely be Alabama.
I didn't realize that we were that high on his list. Interdasting.

With his power and quickness, 5-star defensive tackle Tim Settle can be simply dominant at times. He's nearly 6'4" and 305 pounds, plus he flashes good athleticism and movement skills for a player his size.
Settle, who is from Virginia, has a chance to be college-ready before he gets to campus. He can play on the nose or work as a gap-penetrator.
Alabama, Virginia and Ohio State are in the mix, per 247Sports. The Buckeyes will convince him to head to Columbus.

A 6'2", 316-pound defensive tackle with great ball-location skills, 5-star prospect Daron Payne can get the job done in the trenches.
The Alabama native has excellent strength and power, which allows him to anchor and make messes in the middle with ease. He can also get under the pads of offensive linemen and walk them deep into the pocket.
Payne is Alabama's to lose.

3. Cameron Robinson, OT, Alabama
When the Crimson Tide won their most recent BCS title after the 2012 season, many thought they boasted the best offensive line in college football. Last season’s unit never advanced beyond being a work in progress, and Robinson could play immediately for the unit. He fits the mold of past Alabama offensive linemen (6-5, 330 pounds) and was a top-five player according to most recruiting services. Even with the Tide’s depth, Robinson should see the field plenty as a freshman as Alabama looks to replace two pieces of its offensive line. – Ellis

9. Zach Whitley, LB, UCLA
With no Jordan Zumwalt or Anthony Barr for the Bruins next year, somebody is going to have to pick up the slack and help Myles Jack keep keep the linebacking corps strong. Whitley is a perfect candidate, and as Jack showed last year, Jim Mora Jr. isn’t afraid to play true freshmen if they can help the football team. Whitley, who’s from Houston, had 144 tackles and seven sacks last year, and at 6-2, 223 pounds, he has the size to make an impact. – Rickman

Fricking Whitley.

Deionte Thompson is a 4-star safety with the hips of a cornerback. At 6'2" and 181 pounds, the Texas native is not afraid to mix it up with anyone on the field.
Thompson has fantastic speed for a safety, but he's even more explosive in short areas. He flashes solid hands, plus he'll fill alleys versus running plays.
Then put him at Corner.

David Cornwell may never start at Alabama. Let me be clear that Cornwell is the most talented quarterback Alabama has recruited in the last four classes. I have been a big fan of his game since I first saw him as a junior. There is a legitimate Ryan Mallett comparison there when we talk about arm strength, but Cornwell is the kind of quarterback who is going to thrive when the offense revolves around him. With the talent Alabama puts on the field, though, they need a distributor, a game manager. They excel with guys like AJ McCarron at the helm, not Johnny Manziel and from a football standpoint I see Cornwell being more Manziel than McCarron.

He got a chance to be the best player in his recruiting class

I hope he commits soon, because I don't think we'll be waiting for him.
Great job on the info TS.

So Cristobal told Jacques Patrick that Yeldon and Drake would most likely be gone after this year
