They think Steele is going to pull Mack Wilson too.

The Alabama Crimson Tide have long established themselves as a recruiting powerhouse. But even at the top, Nick Saban and his staff have to draw up game plans when it comes to locking down the very best talent in the land.

Bleacher Report's College Football Analyst Michael Felder broke down which recruits Alabama should target in the current class to keep that pristine recruiting reputation intact.

Ohio State is another one that faltered under Tressel even though their recruiting classes were loaded.

How so? His last five seasons were:
10-2
12-1
11-2
10-3
11-2

They faltered AFTER him. For one year.

Dare, whose full first name is Za’Darius, had a chance to talk with 247Sports about his decision.

“It feels good,” Rosenthal said. “I was in school, and my coach called me up to say I had an offer. I asked who from, and he said Alabama, and I said ‘Yeah!’ So I said I was going to commit, but I’m open to any offers.”


This one is going to be fun to watch.

We offered two 2017 prospects out of Houston today and visited a 2016 RB who is committed to TCU.

Brian Perroni on Kendell Jones:

Kid is huge. He's not fat though. Was 6-4.5/361 at the Dallas Opening regional and earned d-line MVP honors.

The other kid in this picture, four-star DT Chris Daniels, came in at 6-3.5/299.

Not much confidence in keeping Rosenthal after reading that.

I missed the edit on the other board. Kendell Jones hasn't commited yet. Sounds like some reporter ruined his moment and jumped the gun.

He's announcing a Top 5 tonight and committing next Friday.

Everyone is predicting him to select Alabama.

Jones could be our "Matt Elam" without the massive gut.

JUCO RB target Mark Thompson committed to Florida.

He was my favorite back in this class.

Two different insiders (who I trust) have stated the Kendell Jones is the #1 overall recruit nationally on the Bama coaches board regardless of position. Landing him would be a huge coup.

Our evaluation system has changed a bit this year. I view this as a good thing, regardless of what the websites' stars system has told us about our classes for the past decade.
