We've gotten two CBs for Isaiah Wilson today.

One from a Bleacher Report writer and the other from a SB Nation writer.

Speaking of CBs, we got one for the WR out of Mississippi we offered yesterday.

We might take 7 WRs in this class.

5 OL - 6 WR formation. One random WR goes in motion to the QB spot and takes the snap. He can run or pass.....Kiffin's wet dream.

Still nearly nine months shy of national signing day, two-thirds of 5-star prospects in 247Sports' composite rankings remain undecided about their collegiate futures. These heralded athletes have the skill sets and potentials to impact programs for years to come, and they could ultimately help lure other elite talents to the same schools.

From dynamic pass-rushers and dominant offensive linemen to scintillating receivers and a coveted quarterback who earned his first scholarship offer before eighth grade, there's plenty to sort through while analyzing a compelling collection of uncommitted players.

Rather than simply projecting their most likely landing spots, here's a glimpse at these recruits and which universities could provide an ideal fit from a perspective of program fit and early opportunity.

OL Isaiah Wilson

High School: Poly Prep (Brooklyn, New York)

Size: 6'6 ½", 354 lbs

247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 5 offensive tackle; No. 20 overall

Arguably the Northeast region's top overall recruit, Isaiah Wilson carries a physical frame similar to star Alabama offensive lineman Cam Robinson. While we wouldn't put him on the same level as the Crimson Tide left tackle coming out of high school, he is a mountain of a man, and there are stretches when defenders don't stand a chance in one-on-one settings.

There's a major Big Ten presence in this pursuit, with Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State and nearby Rutgers doing their diligence. He may also be drawn to revered trenches of the SEC, where Alabama, Georgia and LSU are among suitors.

Crimson Tide offensive line coach Mario Cristobal has been an excellent recruiter throughout his tenure, especially when it comes to targeting athletes from this area, and Wilson visited Tuscaloosa in April for spring game festivities. Robinson will likely be gone when Wilson would arrive on campus, which would open the door for him and stud 2016 signee Jonah Williams to eventually emerge as new bookends at Alabama.

Best Fit: Alabama Crimson Tide

Jesus. We just offered a kid in the Class of 2020. And his name really is Jesus.

I didn't realize I needed to have a post for Class of 2020 offers when I started this thread.

James Hudson decommits from UK.

The defensive end from Toledo, Ohio has also received interest from Alabama, as well as Big Ten powers Michigan and Michigan State.

Hudson’s decommitment leaves Kentucky with 11 commits in its 2017 recruiting class, only three of whom are defensive players.

Fandom aside, all we ask for from our college football games is that they're entertaining, competitive and provide a little drama along the way.

Those that manage to do this more than others are the ones we remember forever.

More than 100 years of college football has provided plenty of epic games—so many that it might seem impossible to come up with a list of the 25 best of all time. But we're bored, knowing the 2016 season is still more than three months away, so we had a little time on our hands.

The following list was compiled and ranked based on three factors: the game's importance on a national stage, whether it came down to the final moments and the plays that decided it.

Figured I'd post this here on a slow day.

16. Alabama 14, Penn State 7

When: Jan. 1, 1979

In today's offensive-driven college football game, it's hard to find many low-scoring classics. Back in the 1970s, though, it was much more common to have points be at a premium—especially in big games.

The 1979 Sugar Bowl pitted unbeaten Penn State against one-loss Alabama, not to mention Hall of Fame coaches Joe Paterno and Bear Bryant. Scoring only occurred in the second and third quarters, with a 10-yard touchdown run by Alabama's Major Ogilvie late in the third quarter marking the game's final points.

But that didn't make the final period any less exciting.

If anything, the lack of points only added to the intrigue. Penn State recovered a fumble deep in Alabama territory midway through in the fourth, getting to the Crimson Tide's 8-yard line very quickly.

Then Alabama's defense took over, stopping the Nittany Lions just before the goal line on 3rd-and-goal and then stuffing them again on fourth down.
