We've certainly never seen (in the Saban era) a class where the website "gurus" rankings of players differed from Bama's staff's evaluations/top targets nearly as much as this year's class. It seems like almost everybody. For example, the Bama staff supposedly thinks JJ Peterson is the best LB in the country, yet the websites don't have him nearly that high. There are a lot of examples.

Are you being sarcastic or what?

HOOVER, Ala. -- Alabama head coach Nick Saban is one of six members of an SEC committee created to discuss the issues in recruiting and the new and potential rules surrounding it.
Conference commissioner Greg Sankey revealed Saban, head coaches Gus Malzahn, Derek Mason and Barry Odom and athletic directors Jeff Long and Scott Stricklin make up the new committee for the league at SEC Media Days.
“We’ve recruited a group to work with myself and our staff with the athletic directors and head football coaches to engage in dialogue what is happening on the recruiting trail and what might optimally we seek as a longer term solution,” Sankey said Monday morning.
“… We had a conference call once to talk about the reality, to talk about what may happen and look forward to that dialogue continuing.”
Saban seems like an easy choice for the committee with both his success on the recruiting trail -- Alabama has signed seven consecutive No. 1 classes, per the 247Sports Composite -- and his routine voicing of his opinions on large-topic issues in the game.
Throughout the offseason, Saban shared his displeasure with a new early signing period, which will take place Dec. 20 to Dec. 22, beginning this year or for the 2018 recruiting cycle. That is sure to be something that’s discussed and brought up by Saban.

Want a daily lap through Georgia football recruiting? That’s what the Intel will bring at least five days a week. We’ll cover the news and which way 4-star Luke Ford or 5-star Justin Fields might lean, plus add some perspective to help fans figure out what it all means.

No two recruiting situations are alike. That’s a tenet to follow when it comes to big-boy college football recruiting.
That’s because every prospect is wired differently. It is also why they are often coached differently.
Those who shall not believe in package deals between players willingly suspend that theory when it comes to quarterbacks and receivers. Especially 5-star prospects at the QB position.
Georgia is recruiting its 5-star QBs in pairs this year. If the Bulldogs sign either Matt Corral (Long Beach Poly/Long Beach, Calif.) or Justin Fields (Harrison/Kennesaw, Ga.), they both can bring several favored targets with them to Athens.
That list of fellas for Fields is growing by the day. Marquez Ezzard sounds like he is on that list. The same goes for Kearis Jackson and Josh Vann.
Add one more: Luke Ford.
The nation’s No. 4 tight end prospect for 2018 left The Opening convinced in what Fields can do.
Will the eventual college choice made by Fields affect Ford’s decision?
“Yes,” Ford said matter of factly. “After seeing him play and how we have this connection and how amazing of a quarterback he is, I can say this pretty easily: Wherever he goes to school, I probably will go there and follow him.
“If he goes to Alabama, I will probably go to Alabama.
“If he goes to Georgia, I will probably go to Georgia.
Why?
“He is that good of a quarterback and he is a cool guy,” Ford said. “I’ve talked with him for a little bit. He likes Georgia. He also likes all the other schools that are on his list, too. Auburn, Florida, Florida State. I don’t know about all the rest. I don’t really know where he wants to go.”
Well this fricking sucks.
We aren't getting Fields.

Refreshing honesty on the trail
There are some elite recruits out there who say that they won’t let another peer or top prospect influence their decision.
It goes something like this:
“I’ve got to make the best decision for me. I can’t worry about this guy going here or there.”
Most of these young men are savvy and are already very used to holding court with reporters in an interview setting. They know what that looks like and how that makes them sound in print.
Ford just cuts through all that doublespeak. As he should. He was raised in a military family. His father, Tim, flew Apache helicopters for the U.S. Army. He can rattle off more than 17 places his family has lived in the last 20-plus years.
“I am going to let some people affect my decision,” Ford said. “If they are a good player especially. I mean [Justin Fields] is a 5-star quarterback. I think he should be the No. 1 player in the nation. Why wouldn’t a guy like me who plays tight end want to go in and play with a great quarterback like that?”
The 6-foot-5.5, 245-pound prospect began to sound as if he were building his fantasy football team in career mode on the latest Madden video game.
“To play with a guy who I feel should be the No. 1 player in the nation at quarterback and then see the No. 1 RB in the nation going to Georgia?” Ford said. “If that running back goes to Georgia and then they get Justin, I mean, yeah, how can that not influence me? That’s like a check and a check there. That would be Georgia crossing off everything I need. I already liked that Georgia visit, too.”

The contenders for Luke Ford
Ford said he most likely will choose a school from within the SEC. He was committed to Arkansas and now has a strong interest in both Alabama and Georgia.
“Those schools are all good, though,” Ford said. “They are all meeting with me. The coaches are reaching out, and they are all rolling out their red carpets. I can’t say that I have had a bad visit to any SEC school.”
The only other non-SEC contender sounds to me like it could be Texas, where he likely will visit before his senior season starts at Carterville (Ill.) High School.
Ford said his decision could wait until National Signing Day because he doesn’t want to rush his next college commitment. He said he made his pledge to Arkansas before he had properly researched his choices and wants to be aware of all of his options this time.
That pledge to the Razorbacks came after his second college visit. Alabama and Georgia are seen as two very strong contenders here.

Myles Mason is camping at Alabama on July 17th.
He intends to announce shortly after that.
I'm guessing he is going to use that as his last opportunity to get a committable offer. If he doesn't get one he's headed out of state. If he does he'll be in our class IMO.
